Using Software To Create Flyers
When it comes to promoting businesses, you ought to present your business in an attractive manner, to do so you have to create a flyer using any design software you may have. During the lockdown, I learned graphics designs from a YouTube channel with my PC and after some months I reached the level of a standard graphics designer.
So for me to reach out to future clients, I had to advertise my business. So I designed some flyers identifying my business and the services I provide. Since I was already a graphic designer, it was easy for me to make it and reduce costs of hiring a graphics designer.
After designing the flyer, I printed it out and shared it to my family and friends to help spread awareness of my business.

In addition to this, I once used Instagram to promote my graphics design business during the valentine festive season. Here's how it looked like...
After posting the image, some days after I got calls from new clients wanting me to create a design for them. Social media has helped people a lot in this time.
