@kosher my average ad spend or my clients? Actually, I didn't spend any in reaching them out. I posted my brochure in linkedin and it got about 200 views and 10 likes I think. And I viewed the profiles on those who liked and viewed my post then I picked around 30 that have digital marketing agencies or worked as a freelan digital marketing agency and I offered my services to them. Some messaged me directly after seeing my LinkedIn post. One of those who reached out to me is now my ongoing client

@kosher yeah I reached out to them offering my freelance services. I have a brochure which lists my specific services and pricing. I focused on GMB and Google ads for local businesses so I picked agencies that caters to local businesses. Some reached out to me. I turned down those who wants me to work for them on fixed hours and exclusive. I accepted one that allows me to work as a freelance and I work for them as an hourly consultant now. I also set up new campaigns for them and do proposals now.
