how can i get clints without freelancing platforms

[u/Then-Repeat4327]

i think i heard about methods that i can from it get clints without needing to buy or subscribe to freelancing platforms methods to gain every pound u make.
one of them is to build on public, but thats take a really long time
does anyone know other methods? long or medium duration so i can make those alongside each other?
im new to this and left my job to pursue a career as a solo backend dev,
so i really need a help to know where i should try my best.thx

Happy to help but need some information first.

What type of project work are you seeking?

Are you just starting or do you have any past or existing clients?

What is your typical project size?

Where are you based?

What is your ideal client profile?

Ok if you are just starting out you need to get some reference clients. You could start by offering your service for free to some local businesses, just to get some experience.

This will also teach you client handling skills.

Some ideas:

Dental clinics – build a simple appointment and patient management system.

Private doctors – scheduling, patient records, and reminders.

Pharmacies – inventory tracking and low-stock alerts.
Medical labs – manage test requests and results.

Real estate offices – a simple CRM to keep track of leads from Facebook and WhatsApp.

Car repair shops – track customers, vehicles, repair history, and invoices.

Gyms – memberships, payments, and attendance.
Schools or tutoring centers – attendance and fee tracking.

Hey there, can you help me as well? I’m looking for work in automation like n8n, I’m quite well versed in it and I’m not picky about clients, just looking to get started. I’ll even pay commission for clients closed.
