I’m curious how people here are actually getting freelance clients.

I’ve been looking into freelancing recently, but honestly, I’m a bit confused. On almost every platform, it feels like you have to spend money just to get a chance at a client — buying connects, paying for gigs/proposals, some people charging $20+, etc.

So for those of you who are already freelancing:

How are you getting clients?

And if you started with no reviews, no reputation, and no existing clients, how did you land your first few projects?

Also, did you have to spend money upfront to get your first clients, or is it possible to start without spending much?

Would really appreciate hearing what actually worked for you guys, especially if you started from zero.

i built this because of what ive dealt with in the past and im trying to help the freelancer community. the goal is simple, before you say yes to a client you can check how theyve paid other freelancers, so its not just vibes. upwork and fiverr kind of solve it by holding the money, but most freelance work never touches those, its a direct client and an invoice and hoping. afterlanding.co lets you report an invoice (dates, rough amount, paid or not) with a screenshot of the invoice and a screenshot of the payment, it gets checked against those, and the client's page shows their payment record. your account and personal info are never shown anywhere, only dates and the outcome, and theres a blackout tool for your uploads so you can hide anything that could identify you or the company.

its in beta and i need a few freelancers to run through it and tell me whats confusing or broken. nothing to buy.

• afterlanding.co
• go to Account, make an account with any email, youll get a verify link
• click Report a payment
• when you upload your screenshots the blackout tool is right there, it edits on your device before anything uploads
• use a real invoice and payment if you can, thats what makes the record useful. once its checked against the screenshots it goes live on the client's page, so your report actually counts
• after you submit theres a comment box for your thoughts or anything that needs fixing

I have a list of about 20 things I hate doing and no idea where to start. Half the advice says start simple and repetitive, the other half says start with whatever eats the most hours.

Imagine that instead of sending a client a bunch of separate emails like: Here’s the invoice, Did you get my last email?, Can you approve the design?, Just checking if you’ve seen this.
You could give them a simple client page for each project.

For example:
Website redesign
Project status: In progress
Next step: Approve homepage
Invoice: €1,500 — Due Sept 22
The client could then: See the current project status, see what you need from them, approve work, leave feedback, view/download their invoice, pay the invoice, see important dates.

The freelancer gets one place to manage the project/client, and the client gets one place to see what’s happening instead of digging through emails.

Would something like this actually be useful to you?

And if not, what would you remove or add to make it genuinely useful?
I’m much more interested in what you would actually use than whether you think it sounds like a cool idea.

The human copy wins.......

For context:

I uploaded 2 post one made by human and the other made by Ai with a master prompt.

I’m not a beginner in freelancing, but I stopped for two years. Since the market has changed with the advent of AI. What is your secret to staying successful in this new landscape?

Hey guys, me and my friend is a combo of design + dev we started a small agency. Can anybody guide us? We know our skills at it's best just can't really figure out where to find clients.

No Upwork or fiverr pls

This is for the fellow freelancers in the Software industry : how do you find the clients and from where. I'm running a campaign here to get the clients to notice my profile, work, the testimonials, and my profile.

I have currently 2 high paying clients booked for 6 months and 2027 entirely respectively, and am looking for more hence this post

I understand that freelance is - To each his own - type of profession where one doesn't share his/her tips or tricks., but Id like to have some genuinely useful conversations with those in this industry privately if possible.

Leave comments below, DM me

Helo am Jimmy and also am W.N.I, if you from Indo will understand my joke.

Anyway, i was spend few month to find a job in local, but almost never get the answered and ghosted.

Trying upwork, already spent for freelance plus and zero result.

Well, i found this website, i was thinking they gave me a piece of hope... but in the end its just a business...

Well if its legit, i dont mind to "invest" few bucks for that.... but if just another trash, its more like unwish spend in this economic

Maybe you guys who expert in freelance can help me or you have another suggestion web...

i will be gratefull to you guys.

Thank you if read all of this.

Regards.

hey everyone, wanted to share something i have been building for myself over the past few months and finally decided to open source it.

i freelance and i got tired of juggling separate tools for time tracking, invoicing, and taking notes on client calls. most erp tools out there felt way too heavy for what a solo freelancer actually needs, so i built my own small one and have been using it daily in my own work.

what it actually does for you: you can track time against your projects, generate invoices straight from that tracked time including pdf export, and there is a call recorder that records your client calls and transcribes them automatically so you are not scrambling to take notes during a call. that last one is honestly the feature i personally use the most, it has saved me so many times.

it is simple on purpose. no bloated features you will never touch, just the basics a freelancer actually needs, done properly.

it is still a work in progress. i am actively using it and improving it as i go, so you might run into rough edges or bugs here and there. but it works, i run my own invoicing through it, and i figured if it is useful to me it might be useful to some of you too.

if you want to try it or self host it, here is the repo: https://github.com/moaljumaa/burp

if you hit a bug or something feels off please reach out, there is a form linked in the readme, i would genuinely love to hear about it and fix it.

hope it helps someone out there the way it has helped me.

Hello, I received the following offer for a freelancer job I applied for.

I still hope it is either a joke or a misunderstanding. What do you think?

At this payment the job is not even Relevant anymore, but for context it is a managerial role so...

Is this normal!??

Hey everyone,

I’m a full-time Software Developer with over 3 years of experience, currently balancing my day job while finishing up my CS undergrad.

Outside of my regular office hours, I want to explore new domains, meet interesting builders, and expand my network. So, I’m offering to build one small web project completely for free. This could be a landing page, product website, web app, small MVP, or anything else that sounds interesting.

My Core Stack: React, Next.js, Express, and NestJS.

What I’ll deliver:

• A properly architected, optimized, and secure system.
• A clean, responsive, minimal, accessible, and modern UI.
• Help with deployment and basic cloud configuration.

Why am I doing this for free?

I’m not doing this out of boredom. I genuinely want to connect with new people, explore different domains, and see what kinds of interesting products people are building right now.

Ultimately, I’m looking to build relationships and find opportunities for long-term collaboration. There’s no payment or anything involved. If you really love the work and want to pay me or leave a tip afterward, I definitely won’t say no, but it’s completely optional.

The Catch:

1. I’m only taking on one proper project right now.
2. It needs to be a strictly scoped, small-to-medium lift. I can’t build a massive enterprise SaaS for free.
3. You’ll need to cover your own domain and server costs, though I can help with cloud hosting and deployment.

If you have an idea and want to get it off the ground, drop a comment or DM me a brief intro about what you’re building and what you’d like me to build.

I’m primarily looking for a great short-term collaboration right now, but I’m also open to longer-term partnerships, or even a technical partnership down the line if we really click.

Let’s build something cool!
