"How do you normally go about generating leads?"
– Right now, I don't. I'm too busy these days, working weekends just to meet deadlines. I know that's a dangerous position. I'm working toward changing the agreement with my biggest client to actually do more work for them, which will allow me to carve off chunks of that work, give it to other freelancers, and focus more time on developing my business.
Before that, the only effective lead generation I did was through friends and friends of friends who work in various industries. I know this is the direct cause of my current lack of new business on the horizon. That and biting off more than I can chew for one single client.
When I redesign my website, I'll link it to email newsletters that I'll send out 1x or 2x/month. I've heard of some people who generate at least a couple new projects every month based on response from such emails.
And also, I think boobs's idea is simple but sound.
