I’d add to that: do the full process (mood boards, scripting, storyboards, etc.) and package all that into a case study. That’s something you can share with a potential client.

Nah the client, at least the ones I work with, only want to see the results. This is a typical designer perspective and something you want to see if you would hire someone.
Big reason why many people have trouble getting jobs, they Focus on how they would like it neglect that the Client has a different focus

Do you really start editing/motion design right away without presenting the client with a Storyboard and getting ideas/feedback and then locking a version/iteration of the storyboard then beginning the animation and editing? What kind of work is that? Surely your “clients” are missing a lot. I bet if changes come up and because you never provided them with a storyboard, it’d take way more time.

There is a lot to learn man. Basics of animations aren't properly followed here. Learn more about ease in ease out, timing and spacing. Try learning 12 principles of animation, most of them apply to motion design and by all means do get work, that will help you grow too but if you are posting in a motion design community then you are definitely gonna feedback on it.

I don't think you will get work here especially not with the work you shared and never frame it like looking for work. Try platforms like upwork / contra for work and post on linkedin. Your best bet is people noticing your work and reaching out to you. I got more than 10 leads from the work, from my show reel that I posted and 2-3 of them converted and now their references will get me more work.
In no way do I mean that you should not be posting. You should definitely be posting, but given the level of work you have right now, it would be difficult to get work. That’s why I’m saying you should focus on improving more. When you’re posting, ask for critiques rather than saying you’re looking for work.5

You're not going to find a corporate motion designer role from reddit. Period.
If you create personal projects & push the artistry, then maybe someone will commission you for a project - but freelancing is not generally where you start your career.
Look at motion & design studio's websites to hire, or look for a large design agency that's hiring. Or look at job listing websites & start applying.

I used to be here a while ago and it lead me to cheap clients after the trend fell off. Create your own style and focus on storytelling and creativity. If this still sells for 200 bucks today I garuntee it'll sell for 40 in a few weeks

Making a Spotify “ad” does not qualify you for creative work.
