How to find local clients if I have an online business?

I think there are several ways that I can think of. The first and most important thing is to use Facebook. There is this advertisement part which you can budget and pay a certain amount of cash to pay for adverts which are targeted to the different customers that are around your area which can really boost sales. Open a Facebook account which carries your brand and make as much friends as you can and then advertise there as you want but have to do it without spamming the walls of those clients. Add also your whatsapp number so people can contact you more easily.
Just get out there and pass some fliers. Put it in every mail box you can find and make sure to put an offer in so people will take action. This is somewhat of a cold calling which you need some guts to do and it won't be easy. Unless you got enough man power and not afraid of humility.
Use we chat and create groups and ask your friends to join in those groups. I have many friends who do that in their we chat group and are doing quite well at the moment. Many people you add on the group would usually know that you would do some adverts.
If your doing e-commerce, maybe can go and use Amazon eBay Craigslist and so on. It depends on what you plan to sell. It can be useful to sell from there. The work would be less.
The next thing is to write blog post and advert it out. Use Google adsense to advertise your products or service which can help but I find this to be one of the more expensive methods to do it. I have done it and the total expenses went to usd 700 with no real leads to any clients.
I think Facebook is one of the best. Tribe power is useful these days to promote services or goods. It can grow fast when there is more word of mouth.
