Answer

Although word-of-mouth and networking might help you gain access to good clients, not everyone has such possibilities at any given point in their career.

Answer

One method is to create a portfolio of your work. Past projects, case studies, or even blog pieces regarding the development process might be included. This allows potential clients to see what you're capable of and what your style is.
Networking is another strategy to gain visibility. Attending business events and networking with other experts might help you uncover new prospects. You may also join freelancing-related online communities or organizations.

Grant Ely · Answer

Participate in any relevant local tech communities/scenes/meetups (Python, Drupal, Rails, etc.) to meet developers who are already working at the companies/agencies you want to work for.

Answer

Gaining visibility as a freelance developer necessitates the creation of a strong internet presence, which is undoubtedly time-consuming and difficult.
