For me, it’s LinkedIn.
To give your context: I have been using LinkedIn for 3 years.
Fully inbound. 0 cold outreach
Crossed 25K followers.
I sell B2B services (I help tech startups with marketing, growth, and go-to-market) + sell digital products (The Customer Research Report).
And you?

For me, it completely depends on the customer and industry. It's all about understanding where they are.
Currently, product and co-marketing partnerships are driving the bulk of the referrals. LinkedIn is also a solid channel (organic, not paid).
At my last company, Google Ads and organic search were the main drivers of converted leads.

Personally, it's LinkedIn for me too.
And for my ecommerce clients, email marketing channel works the best. I have found email marketing to be a much higher conversion channel because we target right audience with right copy and right value prop.

Why LinkedIn? Clients and network or? I'm biased as I've decided 10+ years ago to build my presence on LinkedIn. I don't have time for 2 platforms.

For me, it's LinkedIn too. But I'm exploring X revently

@swapratim_roy how does it compare for you right now?

@swapratim_roy same, even if my audience is small, I'm getting zero clients, but to be honest I need to build an audience to expect something in return. The other upside is that X pays you for being a creator :)
@franksondors I agree - it'll take substantial time to create a true audience and then perhaps clients reaching out will be possible. Since my business is b2b - it's little more tricky too. I'll keep experimenting to see the results.

@franksondors getting a good response from people around, but not much clients from X
LinkedIn by far, followed by Discord as a close second.

Never did any marketing, people come to me on their own . There are many people who have 1000 times more followers than me and they follow me . Every month I get a new clients and they keep on returning. Sometimes I feel it is god or my mindset that keeps them flowing. Whenever I tried to force anything for example cold emailing , Google adds or working on marketing channels it never worked. But when I leave things to flow, it really starts flowing like magic. Some angels are there who are protecting me for sure ❣️. I am actually blessed in this sense. Yeah I get most clients from LinkedIn I do not even have to look for anyone, they come to me on their own. Every week I have a new challenge and a new client with totally different from my niche 😅🙌.

@gauravdoodles why would you say the come to you?

@franksondors Because of my experience in the startup industry, because of referrals which they do on their own. I never asked for referrals. I am also scarce and not readily available for everyone at any price. One reason is this lots of people visit my my profile and find me on the search list. Also I feel at peace most of the time. I believe I can help anyone 🙌

@franksondors I can get any client but I m not in right location . Indian clients never go for subscriptions more than $1100 per month but US clients readily give $4000+ per month . It will easier for me if I m in the United states

@franksondors Also there are some followers who are passive who does not react to your post or buy your products but only few of them will buy it or engage in your posts . For example if you have 10,000 followers and even 7000 engage on your posts or try your products , u are at better place but suppose you have 300,000 followers and only 7000 is engaging or trying your product . These many followers are only active rest are passive . Bascially 10,000 is still a better bet than 300,000 followers on linkedin or any social media

@franksondors Don't remove them keep them. It will be a time-consuming process to remove passive once. Just let it be as they are.

In short clients seek me, I do not seek clients that too without any huge following on social media. I think huge followers do not mean you are more reliable or something special but the quality of work in your portfolio and the people you work with speak a lot 🙌 that is real branding 😊
Twitter is crazy good too!
I saw a stat somewhere that said Twitter has higher quality audience than other social media platforms hence the spending power of Twitter users is far higher!
LinkedIn + SEO finally is starting to work ;)

For us, as a B2B tech small firm, is LinkedIn. We had the most success with it.

Launching soon!
For me, it's Social media marketing and SEO.
I think every answer here says LinkedIn. For me it turned out to be Reddit.

@olenabomko tbh I don't, I just try to find and target the right subreddits.
Before it was a word of mouth. After the relocation the situation has changed. Do not know exactly now
You have great experience in using it! Would love to hear more insights

My best marketing channel has been building relationships with other creatives, bloggers, and influencers in the industry.
By connecting with people who share similar interests and passions, I can discuss our craft, learn from each other's experiences, and ultimately grow our collective followings through mutual support and collaboration.
