Get yourself a niche that currently no one else does and make that your mission--sensory-motor social skills--not fun and friends and talk nicely but actually maneuvering social and task situation confidently while acknowledging your inner reactions and knowing and hearing your won inner voice.

Try to offer try out package and low price at first with quality work or product! I know it's tough for all new businesses and owners! Attack social media and internet ads constantly and consistently with good contents --- also don't forget to collaborate with locals.
Another important method is research and learn from other vendors offer the same services with you -- you call them your competitors! Every business has their strength and if you can learn all the good things from them and eliminate the things that they did bad then you will eventually separate yourself from them and paid off.
It worked for me and hope it will work for others!
What I would say Yves is though this business is yet still in it's infancy fundamentals to it would be. Learning patience and to exercise it regularly. Dropping one's ego is essential. Gather and learn from all resources available and not to be afraid to ask questions. An understanding of what Forex, Crypto Currency, MLMs and Network Marketing is and how to operate in those arenas successfully. And above all an eagerness to learn and advance in an area you enjoy and perhaps meet other partners that are able to fill in some of the areas one is not the best at to build an effective team.
Understand what it is you're offering. You cannot offer a solution to someone's pain if you don't understand what it is.
I don't offer bookkeeping, social media, web support and content creation. I offer small business owners & solopreneurs their time back to focus on the passion that made them go into business in the first place.
I see what your "key words" are and I read over your profile content. I hope you also offer a lead follow-up support system. Over the last 40 years we've found that one of the weakest links in the marketing systems of micro-enterprise owners (solopreneurs and 1 -10 employee businesses that constitute 95% of all operating companies in the US) is their follow-up process. Few have one. Most people are so busy when they have work in-house they end up dropping the ball on marketing and follow-up. Then, they finish the projects they have and find themselves scrambling to fill their work basket again. This creates a cyclical pattern we call "Frantic Marketing". Creating a functional system to keep leads engaged and interested until they are ready to actually fund and start a project is an important element in smoothing out the ups and downs most of us experience. Some food for thought. Good luck and godspeed.
My best advice is to ask these questions. I use this with newbie independent content creators all the time....
Content production and creation is extremely competitive. Every schmo with a laptop and a camera can call themself an editor and producer.
How do you differentiate yourself from the massive crew out there?
How do you stand out yourself from the crowd? Will you pick of the phone at 4:55pm on Friday and work hard over the weekend if necessary?
Can you offer ancillary services many clients will want; help with social, maybe website development, logo design, etc?
How well are you going to handle those weeks/months when the phone doesn't ring and you're sweating a paycheck? As an independent that happens sometimes no matter how good you are...
As a starting point that usually sobers the newbies up....or makes them want to drink
Spend more time thinking than spending! To elaborate.... starting a business is risky. The top 2 reasons business fail are: lack of funds/capitalization and lack of experience. Spend the time to put together a really well thought out plan that includes reimbursing yourself for time and money invested. Look at your first year in business as a transition period, the second year as a ramp up and possibly break-even and then by the 3rd year you'll be able to succinctly explain what you do, who's your best customer/client type and what your actual return on investment is. It's very doable with a plan for action and a means to measure success.
