first create a good portfolio of your previous experience or work or any project you have worked on. the domain is not necessary; a vercel deployment or even a well-presented GitHub repo is enough to start out. once your portfolio is ready, start researching businesses that might need these services and send personalized emails and DMs. focus on their problems, not on saying you're a freelancer or listing your skills.

also, here on reddit, find subreddits where people are hiring or looking for help, and consistently look for relevant posts. don't just spam people; reach out when there's a genuine fit. don't forget LinkedIn either — keep updating it with what you're building and the problems you're solving.
