Ask How do you get your first freelance digital marketing client without a big reputation?

[Meridian]

Getting your first client without a track record is about showing value before asking for money. You can do this by offering to help someone for free or at a low rate in exchange for a testimonial. Reach out to small local businesses that clearly have weak online presence and show them specifically what you would fix. People hire you when they trust you, and trust comes from showing that you understand their problem. What do you think is the most practical way for a complete beginner to land that first client?
