How to Get Your First Client Without Spending a Rufiyaa

You’ve started your business—but no clients yet? Don’t worry. You don’t need fancy ads or big marketing budgets to get going.

Here are 3 simple, free ways to land that all-important first client:

Word of Mouth Works Wonders: Tell everyone—family, friends, neighbors, old coworkers. You’d be surprised how many people are willing to help spread the word, especially in tight-knit Maldivian communities.

Join Facebook & Telegram Groups: Search for local groups like “Freelancers Maldives,” “Graphic Designers Maldives,” or even resort job groups. Many of them post service requests regularly. Be active, helpful—not spammy.

Use WhatsApp Creatively: Post a professional-looking status about your service with contact info. Sometimes, your first client is someone who already has your number saved.

Once you get one client, ask for feedback or a review—and use it to attract the next. It’s a chain reaction.

Knoyds helps startups and freelancers get their digital presence sorted quickly and affordably. But even without spending, you can start smart.
