Online vs Offline Trade Shows Compared

Where do SOHO traders find first clients? Referrals from former colleagues, LinkedIn targeting, small orders on Alibaba, and industry exhibitions. Develop multiple sources simultaneously.

Income fluctuation is part of SOHO life. Diversify across markets and products. Maintain repeat-order clients as your base. Continuously develop new clients. Never rely on one client or market.

When to hire? When you're turning away orders and leads go cold. Start with a part-time assistant. Build to a full team gradually. Hire slowly and invest in training.
