More Promotion Ideas Than You Can Shake a Fist At



For many freelancers the Dec/Jan/Feb months can get a bit quieter than the rest of the year and it’s a good idea to use this time productively. One great use of your free time is working on your marketing and promotions. You might either do some right away or get it all ready so that later when you’re a lot busier you can easily fit them into your schedule.

Today I found a list of 120 Free (or Almost Free) Self Promotion Ideas for Freelancers over at AllGraphicDesign.com which is a great complement to one of our own posts on a similar topic: 101 ideas to get more freelance work and generate new client leads.

Some of the ideas in both lists are easy, some are pretty hard, but with that many options, there’s bound to be something to fill up your quiet months. Of course you could spend that time with your family or conquering that new playstation instead…

    recently lost my job as a graphic designer (i swear i left it on the kitchen table, but thats missing too), so i decided to do some freelance in between. so this is great, i will try all 120 techniques and if it doesn’t work, oh you’ll know (because i’ll probably tell you).

    PEACE!

    I don’t think I’ll “shave my logo into my hair or get a logo tattoo”.
    Didn’t do it when I was younger, so why now?

    But I can understand the poet thought… :)
