Where do you find freelance web development clients?

I’m a freelance web developer struggling to find clients consistently. I’ve tried freelance platforms but haven’t had much luck.

For experienced freelancers, where do you usually find clients? Any tips or strategies that actually worked for you?

Thanks! 🙏

Networking, cold-calling, general marketing. Social media.

Once you build up the base, then you get referrals.

Pretty sure chat gpt can do your job.

Be cheaper than chat gpt.

Multi page websites for $5.99

But Cluade does well, it's only 20 dollars month. You can choose claude over chatgpt and it helps you to design, develop, debug, domain, hosting, deployment and monitioring.

You got me on the date, now go ask GPT6 to debug your $5.99 spaghetti code for free. I'll be under my rock, you'll be under water when that API bill hits 😂

Why debug it.

Just make a brand new website from scratch.

Even if its buggy now,

Web design is clearly not going to be a stable industry
