Start with your network
List 30 people you know who run a business or work in one. Tell them clearly what you now do and ask who might need it.
Targeted outreach
Build a list of 20 businesses that match your target. Study each for two minutes and write a message with one specific observation and one clear offer.
Use proof
Share a short before-and-after or a sample made for a similar business. Concrete examples get more replies than descriptions.
Follow up politely
Most replies come after a second or third message. Space them by a few days, add something useful each time and stop after three.
Example
A first message
"Hi Karim, I saw your restaurant has great ratings but many reviews without replies. I reply to reviews for restaurants within 48 hours in the guest's language. I can show you three sample replies for your latest reviews, free. Interested?"

Write a first outreach message and two follow-ups for [service] to [type of business]. Use this observation: [observation]. Keep each under 80 words, friendly and specific, with one clear question.
