Well now, that's quite the question.

Well now, that's quite the question.
It is true that you have to be internet savvy, just as if you were cold calling a potential client, but here is what I do to cover both approaches. Now take into consideration that I am a website developer and that I try and work locally or within a 20-mile radius.
In many cases, I will do a search for local businesses without an internet presence, or very small footprint in regards to networking sites or social media.
Then I would go and visit a particular store or business, take a look around and maybe make a purchase. I will be very friendly and courteous.
Then when I get back to the office I will write a letter explaining my visit and what I purchased and how I was treated and send it to the store or business I just came from.
70% (based on experience) will call me or send a letter in return thanking me for bringing my experience to their attention.
When I receive that letter or call, I will then ask them why they do not have a website. I will listen to their concerns and offer an alternative that may interest them. If I meet or exceed their concerns, we'll plan a face to face meeting when we can sit down and talk.
If after our meeting they are not interested, I will make a request that if they know of someone who may be interested in our services to please pass our information along.
This may seem like a lot of work, but it has worked very well for me.
Thanks a lot for allowing me to ramble.
Tim

Based on my industry huh? Since I'm a programmer I'll say this:
How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb? None – It’s a hardware problem
Thanks

Dear Marlene,
As much as I agree with Howard you could also ask members in your network here on Alignable to view your video and either subscribe, like or share your video.

And send a note to your email list (if you have one, and you should) asking to review your video, then maybe offer them a product or service or what you offer at a discount for doing so.

Dear Amber,
I don't think that you ever become an expert so to speak, because there is always room to grow and learn about a particular field.

Dear Amber,
I don't think that you ever become an expert so to speak, because there is always room to grow and learn about a particular field.
In my profession of website design, though I've been doing this for almost 20 years, there is a constant learning curve. New methods, languages, and techniques that you can learn to broaden your horizons.
If you leave yourself open to new things then you will always learn about how to be better at your job or profession.

WordPress development is easy, free, or "no big deal."
Just as we've found misconceptions in what WordPress is capable of as a platform, we also see a lot of misconceptions about what Wordpress development actually involves. It's kind of a paradox.
Clients have an image of building a WordPress site being as simple as choosing and installing a theme. And it can be that simple. But that solution can feel impersonal and often ill-fitting.
So clients want custom design and development, but then are surprised to find that those custom features require time/money to build. After all, it's WordPress! That's supposed to be easy, right?
A wonderful feature of WordPress is how many options you're given in development. You can find plugins others have built, you can write your own plugin, you can write your own hard-coded solution. But any of those options will take time and care to implement.
Again, WordPress is a tool. An amazingly powerful tool. It can be used to build simple solutions, or pretty complex ones. The cost of those solutions depends more on what problem you're trying to solve than the choice of tool.
If you need help in this area, please don't hesitate to ask.

Without sounding like I'm touting my own horn, I believe it would be the years of experience and the versatility that I bring to the table.

Without sounding like I'm touting my own horn, I believe it would be the years of experience and the versatility that I bring to the table.
I've been doing website design for almost 20 years, the last 10 years alone with wordpress and other various content management systems.
I guess you could say I'm a bit of a dinosaur. I've worked with Fortran and Cobol befor Basic was cool.
I hope this helps.
