One of the best and most inexpensive ways to market your business locally is by word of mouth. Word spreads fast and this can be beneficial for freelancers who are trying to gain new clients and increase their popularity.Another way to get the word out regarding your freelance business in your local area is to take advantage of free local magazines/newspapers available in your vicinity.

In your views, which is the best way of offline marketing?

I think it is best to stick with online marketing - offline marketing is often not very targeted, and usually cost a lot more than you would think.

I never really see big websites advertise on TV or in "real life" so I'm assuming it's for a good reason. It is hard enough to get someone to click on an ad and convert them let alone tell someone at a ball game, have him come home and remember the url + sign up. Just more steps from no one --> member in real life versus the internet. I see some ads propped up at street lights by telephone poles. Is this legal? If so it couldn't hurt to try.

I would have to agree that if you are interested in offline advertising, then word of mouth is the most effective and cheapest way to go.

Business cards are a great tool to assist in this approach, and are inexpensive if you do them yourself.

Flyers can also be effective if you are in the right niche.

post card marketing can be effective but

it will cost if you don't know what you are doing.

Postcard marketing can be very effective because

most people dont do it

Word of mouth relies on reputation and networking. Sounds great. But can you share how you go about using word of mouth in your business? Examples?

Hi

I find word of mouth marketing not as good as you can get off track while tring to explain how everything works and put people off. I think the best way to do word of mouth advertising, is to be excited about your product, (so you need to have had real results) and just point them to the site, where it should sell itself if it's a good program.

I also like putting flyers with ripoff URLs in busy malls, supermarket noticeboards etc, with the economy the way it is more people are looking to make a few extra bucks.

Sorry I'm rambling. Hope this helps.
Good luck
Cheers
Shel
