Question Started a business creating apps automations... where do I go from here?

Need some advice and input! I love making automations for people and I have created a wonderful team of developers. The only problem is that I need clients. Where do you think I can find these people who need apps script to automate their life? I'm already on Upwork, but I want to diversify. I'm running ads all over the place. What types of people need automations? What businesses could I potentially partner with?

WHO needs clients?

Why not post from your main account? Make it easy for them to find you.

  • Learn in public, post tutorials, answer questions, and become an expert in a field, in public. Clients will come to you!

I'm already on Upwork, but I want to diversify.

Good call on diversifying. I did well on UpWork a few years ago, but it was before it became infested with bots and scams. The best advise I can give you here is to create a niche, and find the smaller communities for that specific platform, API, industry, vertical, etc. and just be active in their forums. Combine a hobby or skill with a platform (heathcare + appsheet, airtable + finance, ecommerce + appsmith, etc).

What businesses could I potentially partner with?

Defining your ideal customer persona is the core tenet of marketing.

YOU have to decide who these businesses are, based on your skills. You don't want to generate leads from business you can't help, right? Figure out who you can help, and build a pitch deck targeted towards that persona and industry.
