Ask Is it true that freelancers connected to their professional community find better clients than those working in isolation?

There is something to be said about being part of a community when you work for yourself. Freelancers who stay connected with others in their field seem to hear about opportunities earlier and get referrals more often. Working alone can sometimes mean missing out on conversations that lead to real work. Community does not have to mean attending events either, it can be as simple as staying active in online spaces where your peers gather. Do you think being part of a community has made a real difference in the quality of clients you attract?
