Three Ways To Find New Clients That You Won’t Have Thought Of

by | Feb 2, 2024 | The Freelancer's Teabreak Podcast

Looking for new freelance clients? I’ve got three ways to find new clients that you might not have thought of.


  1. LinkedIn. Sure, you can post on there. But did you know you can search the jobs section for freelance gigs? And if you see a job that’s otherwise perfect, why not pitch them your freelance skills while they’re recruiting, to bridge the gap.
  2. Creativepool. Creativepool often lists jobs for the biggest creative businesses in the uk, and sometimes they have freelance ones too!
  3. Your own Facebook profile. So often, freelancers feel weird about posting about their work on their own Facebook profile. But you’ve got a whole network there of people who love you and want to support you, so share what you do so they can! If you’re looking for more ways to find clients, I’ve got just the thing. Check out my freebie, ’30+ Ways to Find Your Next Client.’ It’s packed with tips and tricks for finding new clients as a freelancer. And for those who want to dive deeper, my course, ‘Finding Clients Quickly and Easily,’ is waiting for you.
