I am a Freelancer. The topic I am interested in is how to get clientele. Do you cold email or do you build a network? I am not sure which works best.

Hi Shernell, thanks for reaching out! It depends somewhat on the niche/type of freelancing you do, but today’s post covers some ways you can go about finding clients in general. If you let me know what freelancing niche you’re passionate about, I may be able to find some additional tips for you!

Also, I wrote another post about finding and signing with your dream clients. There may be some overlap but I think it will help you too! Here it is:

Let me think on this and see if I can come up with any additional ideas for client searching to what’s listed above. Off the top of my head, medical/health related events and networking events would be great - you can find them in just about any area of medicine that you’re interested in.
