FWIW Being a marketing guy myself I found it hard to sale my skills ( how ironic ) as a freelancer. The main reason is that many young entrepreneur think that marketing is simple and they will just "do it themselves" ( And fail ). They don't understand marketing is a skill on its own, like writing code for example. So the first thing you should do is educate them on that and then sale your service to them :)
