"I think most businesses have a very particular need that I could help meet as a consultant..."
Why do you think this?
Do you know of the companies that have this need? If so, they're the first on your list for you to network into.
Promote yourself: @corin_29 is right. Get LinkedIn endorsements but more than that, consider starting a blog and putting advice on there others can use. If people find and read it and think it's useful, you have a new vehicle to tell people you're available.
- justajoe 16y agoTrue, that is a good place to start. Every company I've had serious contact with has this problem, but the list of companies where I have a good high level contact to pitch this idea is somewhat small. But I agree, people I know is the place to start.
- kevin_morrill 16y agoTo extend on the idea of starting a blog, you might actually try a minimum viable product type approach to this. Don't just build a blog, build a product page for it, put a price on it, and have a buy button. The buy button just says "This product is still in beta, but if you'd like to be on our beta list click here."
