How do you find clients?

Question

Design

I want to ask local designers, how do you find clients, besides exchanges? What is needed for this?

Answer 1

And why are you not satisfied with 100,000 customers on the exchanges?
And so usually contracts with studios, your website and portfolio.

Answer 2

Scraping by the bottom of the barrel

Answer 3

First of all, you should be puzzled by the fact that you are not looking for clients, but they are looking for you.
This is facilitated by well-designed portfolios on Dribbble and Behance, guest posts on design topics on popular blogs, the development of various free useful things, etc.
