Ask How do you get clients to come to you instead of the other way around?

[Edward22]

Chasing clients takes a lot of energy, and many freelancers spend more time searching for work than actually doing it. Some people say that once your profile is strong enough or your reputation grows, clients start reaching out on their own. But getting to that point seems to take time and effort that not everyone talks about honestly. What have you done that actually made clients start coming to you, and how long did it take before you noticed the change?
