On a recent post I made, I saw comments about a general struggle: getting clients on the platform.
The answer is probably less exciting than people expect:
There's not a magic formula on how to get clients, I struggled as well. However I did post consistently, asked previous clients for reviews on my profile and set up several case studies showcasing my favorite work.
I stay active even when I'm not looking for work.
I don't really think that clients come from one viral post but from months of showing up.
What's been your biggest source of clients lately?

The point about case studies is underrated โ€” clients want proof, not promises. Staying active even when you're not actively looking keeps the pipeline warm without feeling transactional. Consistent presence really does compound over time.
