Where and how would you find clients if you were to start again?

by TaToTen

Hello freelancers,
What would you recommend for freelancers that are just starting out?

I would be especially interested in hearing about the unusual ways and places you have used and would use again.

Looking forward to your ideas
Thanks in advance

    Consider what's your product and who might need it.

    For example, are you offering a video editing service? Then why not start looking at gaming communities and finding those who are active (or trying to get active) on YouTube.

      Thank you for your recommendation. Do you have any go-to communities you personally use?

    I have a free course on this here, but my biggest piece of advice is to market where it's not competitive.

    My close rate is above 90%, but mostly because I get clients almost exclusively through channels others aren't using.

    I don't use freelance sites like UpWork, I don't use ads, and I don't really blog.
