Ask How do people go from zero to getting their first digital marketing client?

[Newman]

Most people get their first digital marketing client by offering to help someone they already know, like a small local business, a friend with a side project, or a community group. The goal is not to make money right away but to get real work to show. Once you have done something that produced results, even a small one, you can use that as proof when talking to the next person. Getting that first client is about building trust, and trust starts with showing what you can do. So do you think offering free work at the start is a reasonable way to get the first client?
