The scriptures don't really get in depth as far as how he first approached people everytime he preached. However it does state people thought he was a harsh preacher so he was no Joel Osteen. He did approach individual people & healed them but as far a how he attracted people to him initially doesn't specifically say.
Based on the mini series the Bible. John the baptist knew who Jesus was the moment their eyes met.
I do not recall reading anywhere in Scripture where Jesus had to perform miracles or convince John who he was.
The Samaritan woman at the well had a quiet talk with Jesus as he told her of her many ex husbands in her life's history.
She was amazed and told the towns people of this. Then many came out to see Jesus.

That is when we go you His Word, which He promised would never fade by the way, and make sure you are lining up with His word. His Spirit leads us to all truth, and I have to add it's a bit strange for a Christian to ask "How do you know it it's the Holy Spirit or just you", do you not understand this? Is it not something you deal with every day since salvation. I say how can you NOT know it's the Holy Spirit? Not that I'm saying we can figure out everything without looking into it, but if it's His Spirit it WILL lead you to all truth.
When John was in prison, he sent disciples to ask Jesus if He was Messiah:
Matthew 11:
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
