Getting a first client still feels like the hardest part of freelancing, maybe even harder now than before. There are more freelancers signing up daily, so clients have too many profiles to choose from. Some new freelancers say cold pitching still works if done properly, while others feel platforms favor people with existing reviews already. What was your experience like when you tried to land your very first client?
