If you want to attract ideal new clients for your business I highly recommend you test using a special report.
A special report is a 'how to' booklet that has valuable ideas that an ideal client for your business would find useful.
Here's how to create an effective special report
1: Give it an interesting title that will make potential clients keen to read it.

2: Include valuable and useful ideas and tips in your special report.
• Explain the steps involved in buying and using your product or service.
• Show customers the potential problems that can happen and how to avoid them.
• Tell customers the common mistakes that people make when buying your product or service and give them the most important questions they should always ask.
• Make sure your customers know what to look for and what to avoid when buying your type of product or service.
• Give customers insider tips.
• Include information that will help your customers to more effectively solve their problems or reach their goals.
• And do all this in a way that is simple and easy to understand.
3: Market your special report.
There are dozens of ways to get potential clients ordering or reading your special report.
You can offer it on your website, advertise it with display ads, send out personal letters or emails inviting people to order it and so on.
Best of all, once a person reads your special report you will have instant credibility and this makes it very easy for them to choose your business to spend their money with.
