I have been doing graphic design and freelancing for so long and everytime the question comes to my mind that why is it so difficult to find clients in this niche.
I mean there are so many freelancing sites but all they have is
Some fake projects that are made to waste your time
Some cheap projects where people want Ultra ultra ultra real:D:D:D 3d model under $5
Some projects where the project posters responses the messages a week after
And there are also some percentage of real projects but you end up not placing bit cuase you have lost your bids or you have became frustrated

So Where can we go to find clients when we have skills???:(:(:(:(

Freelancing is a never-ending hustle.
If it's too hard for you. Better to look for Full-time secured job in reputed companies.

If it was so easy everybody with some skills would do that. If competing on one of these sites you need stellar feedback and lots of it to get some higher paying jobs. As someone else said try to find them locally where you don't compete with the whole world, and users can charge much less than you depending on their cost of living.

Log off those sites and find your own clients. You won’t be in front of thousands of people, but the ones you do find on your own will pay more.

Well its a good idea but for people living in a city where their is a need of graphic design work as well as the people should not think about graphic design work as something that can be done by a button.

Graphic Design is now popular in the world for income. I think some people miss behave with you. Nothing to worried. UP Work and freelancer site have different company's post for graphic Design. They collecting their order in their local market or people and finish this design to heir freelancer from upwork or freelance site. So don't worry try again will reach your goal.
 
Try to find clients on your own and build connections. People bring People you know! If you get enough clients on your own, you will decide to leave the freelancing websites, because probably you will not have time to waste on cheap projects there. People still prefer to pay someone they know, or just someone they have met rather than paying someone behind the screen they do not know who they are.

Have a site for your own service and direct customers to it. Think of it as a business, not just freelancing jobs. If you keep pushing it, it will work at some point :)

And you do not have another email ?
 
Because is a saturated market and clients won't come to you giving easy money.
You have to find them and offer your services.
So yeah either start your design company/website or go search for clients.
 
That's true due to fake projects and fake people we are expecting much which comes with no results except wasting our time. But in BHW its mention somewhere i read that judge the people while talking with them if they are real and feel your profile as real then no one hesitate to pay you upfront while asking you or without saying any words. So you have to make that much of judging power while talking with them whether they are real or fake. Through this way you feel free and stress free with no frustration.

Change "why" to "how". Build the personal brand, join FB group where people sell t-shirts, canvas and etc.
 
If I am allowed to add my grain of salt, I would say finding clients is the key to any business success, the main key. You can take care of all other things needed to run a business, but if you do not know how to find clients, the business can't thrive. The best people are so good at finding new clients, they constantly grow the business, and that growth is due to sales. Imo this is the number skill to have.
 
Target marketing is the best. I tend to not have problems finding the people in the niche chosen.... its monetizing them lol. I have resold plenty of seller services here at an up cost, just by personal experience and people run around saying "hes a secret computer nerd".

Just have to think as the customer and reverse your role. I struggle not finding the customers, but not being focused enough to supply them a landing page/product/service. I have other journeys where I do this successfully using multiple online selling marketplaces, but again it's the focus thing.

Are you aware the people on social media are breeding grounds for confusion... on how to do anything we do or how to get there?
 
i think jobs are very easy to find, there thousands of free and paid freelance job forum blogs and boards to get work.

just use google and there hundreds of posted jobs advertised to freelancers.

you can also post in all the free papers and online blogs and forums and socail websites

you can use local shop windows with cards and libbary and collages and uni .

there hundreds of places to get out there .

it all about how much you want the jobs leg work getting out there .

you xan do businees leflet drops .

paid advertising .

local seo in your area or frelance niche.
