> I live in a tiny town in the US and have rarely met my clients in person This is awesome. I feel like it's more of the exception than the rule though. Just out of curiosity, I assume you primarily work off of referrals now, but how did you get your first few clients? Or I guess a better way of asking is how did you get enough clients to where you had enough referrals coming in? |

1. Premium job boards. AuthenticJobs used to carry much more freelance work, but basically I'd find places where people had paid to post a job, and I'd do my darndest to impress them with my opening email.
2. My professional network. A couple of old contacts referred me to excellent agencies. Those connections still pay dividends today.
Hope that helps. These comments are giving me ideas for "Everything I know, part 2".
