Getting clients for freelance work

Look among your friends and family or former employer
Post in social media
Local businesses
Don’t use a premade template, see what the potential client is about and propose a contribution to them ( new website, social media ) - specific proposal
Websites and job portals - Traversy media 70+ job find websites - add stuff to portfolio and apply for jobs
- Good clients don’t look for the cheapest developer so that’s a bonus
Network with other freelancers, learn from them
Discord servers, LinkedIn, etc.
Content creation - blog!
- Write not only about programming, business stuff works too, it’s even good. How to start online business for example.
Referrals, testimonials
Don’t be too aggressive, don’t spam them and nag them
Have a portfolio - website with projects and stuff
Do your absolute best
Find a niche (not in the beginning though, you take what you get in the start), but then go into some specific field
Add other services - SEO, Social media, Hosting, Graphic design etc.
