Summary

## Client Acquisition / Marketing Specialist – New Online Coaching Business I'm looking for an experienced **client acquisition / marketing specialist** to help me get my **first 10 paying clients** for a brand-new online coaching business. ### About me I'm a qualified and experienced **Mind-Body / Mental Wellbeing Coach** with a background in coaching, fitness, wellbeing and personal development. I'm targeting primarily **men in their 30s and 40s**, particularly those dealing with: * High stress / feeling "wired but tired" * Low energy * Poor work-life balance * Difficulty switching off * Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in unhealthy routines I've recently moved to Spain and am targeting **online clients, particularly in the UK and Ireland**. ### Where I'm currently at This is genuinely a **new business from a marketing/client acquisition perspective**. I have: * A recently created landing page * Instagram * LinkedIn * Existing content * A defined coaching offer * Relevant qualifications and experience I've tried posting on Instagram and LinkedIn and some boosted posts, but with **limited success**. I don't have an established audience, email list or referral network. I'm essentially starting from **zero clients** online. ### What I need I need someone who can help me build the **foundations and strategy to get the first 10 clients**. I'm open to whatever you believe will work best, including: * Instagram/content * LinkedIn/outreach * Email marketing * Lead magnets * Facebook/Meta advertising * Partnerships * Other proven acquisition strategies I need someone who can tell me **what to focus on, why, and help implement it**. The goal isn't followers or likes. **The goal is paying clients.** Once we find what works, I'd like to build on it and continue working with the right person to maintain/grow the system. ### Who I'm looking for Please **only apply if you have experience generating clients for coaches, wellness, fitness, consultants or similar service businesses.** I'm particularly interested in someone who has experience taking a business from **zero/very few clients → first 5–10 clients**. I'm **not looking for someone whose main experience is scaling established businesses with existing audiences**, and I'm not looking for a generic social media manager. ### Please include: 1. Your relevant experience 2. 1–2 examples of similar businesses you've helped 3. Actual results if possible (leads/clients/revenue) 4. What you'd recommend I focus on first 5. Your monthly fee / proposed initial project cost ### Budget **€300–€500/month initially** I'm open to increasing the budget if we prove the strategy works and the business grows. I'm also open to a **long-term partnership with the right person**, but I want to prove the approach first. Please send me a proposal/message with your relevant experience and results rather than a generic marketing pitch.
