Build a portfolio by contacting local stores and doing it for free or a highly discounted price. You need to get your foot in first and prove that you're able to deliver.

Currently have one client and charging min cost from him so that he can refer more people. Great strategy thanks

One client is not enough. Do some research to find who in your area has no website or has a really old one. I'm sure you'll find a lot of them. You need a website where you can demonstrate what you have done for others. Also make sure that you're able to use them as a reference on your website.

Word of mouth is the best when you are a no-name
Also, offer free services to influencers or local "authorities"

The first "method" I found here on BHW involved going on Yellowpages and finding businesses with horrible websites, then mass email them (sort by industry) with web design services etc.
Got 3 clients with the first 200 emails. Took about a day or two.
This was in 2017 though.
You can also try the "free website but make them sign up on $100 CPA affiliate offers", but I had worse luck with that one to be honest.

Solid advice. One of the unfortunate things about this type of service is that it tends to attract a demographic of people that aren't what most would consider typically social. One thing I've learned in my journey is that it's less about how good your service is (athough that does matter) and more about how you network and market yourself.

Also, don't forget that pricing is incredibly important. I had better luck with $799 vs $299 pricing for example, not sure why. So split test that, and don't be afraid to charge more.

Do not offer any free service, belive me you will get only trouble from this kind of clients longterm.
One of the best ways to get attention of local clients is to make a tutorial video "how to xxxx" put on the end of the video "Would you like a professional solution? call me for a 30% discount" and setup FB ads for your video, target local business in your city.

Exactly I REALLY CAN'T STAND GOLF but I'm part of the local golfing club and took lessons in it just for the networking. Like whats the fucking point in trying to put a tiny ball in a whole... least with shooting and fishing you can eat it. With golfers you find a lot of them are middle management types, whereas with shooting its estate owners and a class of people above the golfing types.

I outreach to businesses in my area after doing research on their sites, etc.
Also, It's nice when your wife has her own business and can help me find potential people that are looking for services like that (deals with a lot of other people/businesses)
You need a portfolio though, if you don't have a lot of clients, build a portfolio website with each "page" being a different layout/website so you can showcase what you can do.

If you are having a fresh start, may be it's time to call you friends and ask if you can provide any services. Give them big discount or provide them some review copies. Get the reviews done. It should help you to gain some trust with the new customers. Remember, first sale is the hardest. gooood luck!
