Hi everyone, I’m an SEO specialist and recently started learning and running ads. I don’t have clients yet, so I’m focused on outreach to get my first one. I spend all day learning but still feel like I’m not doing enough. Besides outreach, what else should I do at the start? I thought about building a personal brand but feel I need results first. Any advice would help!

Do you have your own website, or just socials? Domain names are easy to come by and hosting for a personal site is cheap, and a necessary business investment. If you aren't a web developer you can get a Wix site set up from scratch and get a domain name and SSL cert in an afternoon.

Don't be the shoemaker who wears crappy shoes - if you're an SEO specialist, have a site for your business and get it to rank. Or if you just want to try things out, do an individual page or section on a hobby or topic you enjoy, and get that to rank, and use it for your site metrics. And PS, this shouldn't stop once you land some clients - set aside some time every week to work on your site content, use new methods, experiment with things you're seeing in the market.
