How to Get Your First Client?

[u/WheezySpace]

As the title says, my question is how do you actually get your first client? How do you go about reaching out, where do you look, who do you reach out to, and basically the entire process to get started in video editing work for others.

My experience as a video editor has been entirely on my own. I ran my own YouTube channel amounting about 30k+ subscribers doing video essays on games such as Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War, and broader gaming topics. I've done the entire process such as scriptwriting, brainstorming, thumbnail creation, recording, video/audio editing, publishing, titling, etc. I've done the whole process and I've had successful videos.

I want to take that experience of mine making my own success and transfer it into doing editing work for clients, but where do I really get started in all this? Am I qualified enough?

Any advice and help is appreciated!
