Advertise in CADD Related Forums
A fast and easy way to introduce your CADD services is by posting on the Autodesk Classifieds Forum.
Companies looking to hire CAD drawing freelancers also frequent these forums and sometimes post up help wanted threads.
Be sure to read the board rules before posting.
Create a CAD Website An excellent way to present your services, portfolio, and much more… is to create a website that displays your CAD drafting services.
Although as many have found, this is not an easy task and involves much more work than simply putting up a flashy website.
For the process to work properly, you have to create a website that draws in traffic… no traffic = no sales.
You can have the best looking website on the net, but if nobody visits it… then what is the point of putting up a site aimed at bringing in CAD drafting jobs?
Most new sites don’t receive much traffic until they have been around for a while and contain some good quality content.
In the meantime, one way for a new site to bring in fresh traffic is to use Google Adwords.
When you advertise your CAD services using Google Adwords, your ads will appear on Google.com as well as across publisher sites.
In our next article we will get into the nitty gritty of creating a content-rich website that drives free traffic to your CAD service provider website.
