Get in the know with your local, regional and state market statistics. This will help you better understand niche markets in your area and establish yourself as a local expert.
3. Don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through
A great way to stay in touch with current clients and virtually meet new clients is to create content that lets your personality set you apart from your competitors.
