What is the best way to give development service to startups

Please share your ideas about what is the best way to offer web development services to startups.I can suggest to build Wordpress Websites from scratch and I would like to get the idea of how to let startups know about services I deliver?

Just post on freelancing websites. Make sure you have a portfolio and past project rates. You can also set up a package-type offer and market it as a benefit on F6S or for members co-working workspaces (like WeWork), but it would mostly be marketing then (i.e. loss-leader). And if I may suggest how NOT to market your services to startups: by looking up the Whois of recently registered domains and SPAMing their owners.

1 . First select who is your audience ? ( Funded startups or Unfunded startups )

2 . Select the kind of services that startups are hunting for .
(Technical , Market research , Data accumulation , Clients acquisition )

3 . Can you provide services single handedly or with a team ?

4 . If single handedly ? Then start selling yourself from joining local startup community , listen to their technical requirement etc .

  1. If you suffice their requirement approach them confidently , If not then learn something on their requirement .

6 . Build projects by yourself or team and add it to github or other famous portal . So that your project will be included in the search results (Google).

All the best .
