   I wonder if reflecting on how you gained your existing clients and then really pouring your effort into those actions that helped you get started. For example, if word of mouth was impactful then perhaps you ask your existing clients to help you with networking or provide you with testimonials. If you don't have an online presence, perhaps investing some effort into optimizing that space. I'll try and think on this more but just some top of mind thoughts based on watching my sister grow her own business from the ground up, one where she too is personally the "product" such as yourself.

   Hi! Are you with the Time Saver Services I found on LI? If so, I recommend updating the company profile page with a logo and more of a story about the company, and start posting helpful tips and reasons why people should outsource their administrative needs to you. Both of these will build awareness and credibility.

   If you don't have a LinkedIn presence, you might consider that. And then begin getting notice by little posts everyday (you need to build up contacts, so it's good to connect with people in your industry, or who might appreciate your services). By posting something every day, it shows you are serious and know your business--and I don't mean necessarily advertising your service outright. Put what you do in your profile--don't just write your title, but write something such as: experienced and motivated administrative assistant who has developed a unique and enterprising business designed to help the over-worked executive save time and money....or something like that. You get the idea. I'm not sure what your business consists of, but if it's an upstart business and it's a creative idea, you have to let people know. Good luck!
