To start this out, last year in July I finished school and started to try making some money online. I started on yt and thought I'd easily earn thousands with affiliate sales, lol. It didn't take long until I realized that it's not that easy and tried a few different things afterwards.
In the beginning I struggled with connecting a domain to a website and other basic things but somehow landed my first client using email spam. I built him a site using a divi template and he was happy with it. In the meantime my skills have evolved quite a bit and I have redone his website twice already to make it look good. He has referred me to my second client.
The winter I spent in New Zealand (I'm from Europe) working and enjoying life while learning Seo & Webdesign in the evening. Through lockdown i sold another two websites from another referal and asking if someone needs a website in a facebook group. After lockdown ended here I travelled around using the money from the last two sites, I went skydiving & made some other fun things. It really struck me doing this that through the summer I should focus on finding a way to get clients.
If i can do this I'll have a much nicer & fully indepent time at university from my parents.
Note: Its not my goal to start a webdesign agency or get rich doing that it should just be a side hustle and that's how I sold it to my few clients aswell: I'm a one man show who does every part of the project and they can always call me if they need something done
So to come to the question: how do I best go about finding new clients?
The money lays in referals in sellings websites imo but what are some good ways to find completely "new" clients in your opinion? I don't want to walk in to businesses and straight up ask them and also don't want to do email spamming anymore. Any good "secret" tips
Sorry about the long rant and apologies if this is not the correct place to post it in...
