Today's newsletter is short and sweet. I want to share a fantastic tip with you! If you're just getting started and aiming to keep costs low, using a Google Form is a brilliant way to give potential clients a way to work with you.  

Here's why Google Forms are a game-changer:  

1. It can act as your first website: Google Forms allows clients to share their contact details and make a connection.  
2. Cost-effective: Google Forms is free to use, perfect if you are starting out on a budget.  
3. Easy setup: creating a form is quick and straightforward. You can customise it to ask precisely the information you need from your clients. It is also a great way to screen whether you are a good fit with people who express interest in working with you. 
4. Professional look: Google Forms looks good, and you can customise it further by adding a banner from Canva (similar to what you may have as your Facebook or LinkedIn banner) and information about yourself and your offering.  
5. Organised responses: Google Forms neatly compiles responses into a Google Sheet, making it easy to manage and analyse the data.  

Here is an example of a form I was able to create in 5 minutes using my Facebook and Linked In cover photo as the header: 

Whether you're looking to schedule consultations, gather feedback, or capture leads, Google Forms can streamline the process effortlessly. Be sure to check your form settings, test the link and form, and then share the form link as widely as possible across your social media, email and other communication methods.  

Give it a try, and let me know how it works for you!
