Word of mouth is the most powerful: it will allow you to have news client organically. I'm getting 40% of my turnover from word of mouth. When I started up my consulting I was scraping job offer website and making some lead scoring based on the job description. Then outreach those companies to ask if they considered hiring freelancer instead of full time employee. Now I'm also getting some inbound request from my blogging on medium but it took more than a year for this channel to power up.

Word of mouth for sure. I've learned that if you do an awesome job, you will not need another way to find clients, they will find you.
