Ask How do you find freelance clients who have real budgets and not just low offers?

One of the most common complaints in freelancing communities is that so many potential clients come with budgets that do not match the work they are asking for. Finding clients who understand the value of good work and are willing to pay for it requires a different approach than just applying to every job you see. Some freelancers say it comes down to where you look, while others say it is about how you position yourself so that budget conscious clients filter themselves out. How do you go about finding clients who actually have the budget for quality work, and what has worked best for you?
