I've always flirted with the idea of going on an independent entrepreneurial journey, but I never had enough courage. That's why, while I was still employed, I always wanted to do something else that was for my soul and where I could implement my ideas the way I wanted. That's why, before I went on an independent journey, I made my own website, where I elaborated on everything I know and what I can offer small entrepreneurs.
I found a great free tool called Wix.com that makes it easy to build your own website. The tool is completely free, but if you want your site to have a domain and hosting, you have to pay. But to start with, a free site is enough, and you can gradually upgrade your site. They've improved the tool a lot in the last year, so it's really useful.
At the same time, I started posting regularly on social media. First on Facebook , then on Instagram . When I knew I was going my own way, I also started posting intensively on Linkedin. So I slowly started introducing myself prefisso telefonico albania tirana to my followers and building my base. At the same time, I made a free e-manual in the free tool Canva and started building my e-mail base. The best social network for acquiring contacts of my target group is on Facebook, so I started paying for advertising on this social network.
You can see how to make an ad to acquire e-mails in my e-course Facebook for business. When I already had a few e-mail contacts, I started sending regular weekly e-newsletters with the free tool Mailchimp . Mailchimp is completely free for up to 2000 contacts. For starters, it is a great tool for sending e-mails. As I always emphasize, video content is indispensable today, so I discovered a great free tool for creating video content
It is Lumen5 . You can even create a video from your blog post. Canva also now allows you to create animated posts and videos, so there are no excuses for not creating video content. I have been practicing everything I listed above regularly for over 3 years. Now I have entrusted you with all the free tools that you can start using today. What I want to tell you is that action and perseverance are what will bring you success and new clients. If I can do it, so can you.
