Fiverr account got banned 2 times and upwork 1 time, opened fiverr acc again but it's algorithm sucks, It shadows gigs out of no where. When my profiles got banned I also created ig, x, profile, But even after it, I only get work from past clients which are in my contact.

How do I get clients aside freelancing platforms?

Yeah, you could try cold emailing too if that fits with your service
 
Knocking in has to be the best responses I've gotten

"see your pals over there in X?", "they've got this set up... what are you doing with your lives"

"give me a 50 and I'll get it done"

"nice one bredda, be back saturday".

If you've got no badness in you, tattooedbuddha from here proved to me with my responses that cold calling can have good results if you're looking for the right person off the bat
 
Depends on what you provide
you leave in a place that have many business around, go out and offer your service to them
don't talk about how great your service is but about how it will help them make more money
 
I see people lurking around in sub-reddits and facebook groups getting freelance gigs all the time.

You could create a business website and try to attract clients through search engines and social media. Have you ever tried that?
 
Instagram and TikTok are killer for showcasing your skills, post your work consistently, and DM potential leads directly
 
If you upgrade your account, BHW is also a good place to find customers
 
Build a personal brand on social media, create a portfolio site, cold DM/email prospects, join niche communities, and ask past clients for referrals.
 
LinkedIn is currently trending as a platform for job opportunities. Create a professional account and expand your network.

Do not get disheartened by problems. You should look for solution to these issues instead of looking for other ways to get clients. There are thousands of freelancers earning good money on fiverr, may be take a course from them.
 
Approach buyers directly. For example, if you do video editing, then directly approach owners of Youtube channels offering your service as a video editor. If you are smart enough and your service is high quality and want to beat the competition, offer your service for free initially (if possible).
 
You can get clients using platform like BHW. When you get a client on BHW, you get their contact details also and he can be your long term client. This will ensure that you get repeat business from them.

I need ideas to find clients for SaaS development fiverr gig.
 
Buy traffic using paid ads if you don't find a solution with organic traffic
 
Theres a lot of groups on social media, especially Facebook, try looking for those. Have you seen the freelancer forum here? You might find something for you there as well.
 
This is especially difficult if you are providing services that violate the rules of freelancer platforms. Social media accounts do not yield results in a short time.
