10 Real and Detailed Strategies to Get Clients Without Spending on Advertising

Getting clients is the foundation for any business to grow. The common belief is that this requires a big investment in advertising, but in reality, there are much smarter and cheaper—even free—methods to achieve it.

In this extremely detailed guide, I will explain 10 proven ways to capture clients without spending on advertising, with step-by-step examples and a special focus on how to use KorpDeck, our ethical scraping tool, to automate, scale, and personalize your prospecting campaigns.

1. Ethical Instagram Scraping to Find Potential Clients

Instagram is a goldmine for businesses, but few know how to extract really effective and qualified leads without breaking rules.

What is ethical scraping?

It is the automated extraction of public data (names, bios, visible emails, locations) without invading privacy or using bots that generate spam.

How to do it with KorpDeck

  • Define your niche: For example, if you sell services for restaurants, look for profiles with keywords like “chef,” “restaurant,” or “foodie” in their bio.
  • Filter by location or size: Use filters to target only businesses in your city or with over 5,000 followers.
  • Extract visible emails and other public data.
  • Export a clean Excel with name, profile, email, and followers.

Detailed example

Maria runs a design agency for local restaurants in Madrid. She uses KorpDeck to search profiles with bios containing “restaurant Madrid.” She extracts 500 profiles, reviews visible emails, and creates a list to send personalized emails offering custom design services.

Expected results

  • High open rates because the email is segmented and personalized.
  • Real potential clients because only active and relevant profiles were extracted.

2. Extracting WhatsApp Numbers from Public Groups for Direct Contact

WhatsApp remains the most used messaging platform, and public groups are a valuable channel to capture prospects.

How does it work?

Many groups have public links shared on forums, blogs, or social media. KorpDeck can track those links and extract visible numbers inside the groups to create a database for direct contact.

Step-by-step example

  • Find public WhatsApp groups about “business coaching.”
  • Use KorpDeck to extract visible numbers and names.
  • Import that list into a mass messaging tool (always respecting legality and ethical use).
  • Send an introductory message offering a free webinar or a short consultation.

Result

  • More direct and personal contact than a cold email.
  • High response rates if the message is valuable and not intrusive.

3. LinkedIn for Strategic Polls and High-Value Contact

LinkedIn is the most powerful professional social network. Here, it’s not just about connecting, but generating conversations and trust.

Detailed strategy

  • Create a poll about a hot topic in your niche, for example, “What is your biggest challenge in online sales?”
  • Share the poll on your profile and in relevant groups.
  • Analyze the results and comment on each vote to start a dialogue.
  • Add the most active voters and start private conversations offering help or exclusive content.

Real example

John, who offers financial consulting, creates a poll asking “Do you prefer saving or investing in 2025?” He receives 200 votes. He comments and thanks each voter. From those, 30 start a conversation and 5 become clients.

Advantage

  • You don’t sell directly.
  • You build authority and trust.
  • People feel heard and valued.

4. Google Maps: Smart Extraction of Local Businesses

Google Maps isn’t just for finding directions but for scraping business data with public profiles and relevant info.

How to leverage it

  • Use tools like PhantomBuster or Apify to extract business data in your city or target area.
  • Extract name, phone, address, email, and reviews.
  • Import this data into KorpDeck to organize personalized campaigns.

Practical example

Sara wants to get clients for professional cleaning in Valencia. She extracts 1,000 businesses from Google Maps with high customer volume, then sends personalized messages with offers to clean offices.

5. Automated Email Outreach Sequences That Humanize

Sending a single cold email is often ignored, but a well-structured email sequence generates conversation.

Example of a 3-email sequence

  1. First email: Introduction + value (e.g., “I’m offering you a free website audit”).
  2. Second email: Testimonial or success story.
  3. Third email: Call to action with urgency (e.g., “Last spots for free consulting”).

How KorpDeck helps

  • Automates sending based on segmented lists.
  • Personalizes each email with extracted data (name, company, etc.).
  • Tracks opens and clicks to focus follow-up.

6. Collaborate with Micro-Influencers to Multiply Reach

Micro-influencers have specific audiences and a high level of trust with their followers.

Effective strategy

  • Identify relevant micro-influencers using KorpDeck to extract their public profiles.
  • Propose win-win collaboration: they recommend your service in exchange for value (content, training, tools).
  • Automate contact and follow-up.

7. Create Interactive Lead Magnets That Capture Quality Emails

Lead magnets must be useful and attractive. Use quizzes, tests, or checklists to grab attention.

Example with an interactive test

Create a test like: “Is your Instagram profile ready to convert?” and at the end ask for the email to send detailed results.

Connection with KorpDeck

  • Automatically import captured emails.
  • Segment according to responses to send personalized emails.
  • Increase conversion rate with segmented messaging.

8. Advanced SEO with Useful, Extensive Content (Like This Article)
