If you're looking for platforms to get clients, you've got several options. While online freelancing platforms like Behance, Fiverr, Upwork, and Dribbble are popular, don't forget the power of social media platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.

If you buy some space from a decent serious website I think you can do good business.
As long as you know what the audience wants. Or is this about letting websites or platforms pay to you for your designs?

 The competition for Web designers is very high currently but people value you mostly when they know your worth, therefore how good or skillful you're determines the demand for your services, so you need to be a very skilled designer to get better clients because people would always watch out for the best.

 You can offer free designs to companies to showcase your skills and refer you their clients that are in need of designers, you mustn't necessarily need an online freelancing platform to get better clients, social media platforms like whatsApp, Instagram and Facebook can sever as well, create a page on any of this platform showcasing your works and promoting your services.

 But there are still platforms like behance,fiverr,upwork inc,dribble, and many more, these are freelancing platforms where designers can offer their services and bid for projects they'll like to work on. Most of these listed platforms offers good opportunities whereby Instead of clients posting gigs, freelancers can post their services and rates.

 There also members in this forum that are In desire for good designers for their various businesses so this is also a means of advertisement to those people if the OP offers good services and is skillful.

The cost of purchasing a course related to IT proffession is quite on a high side in our world today, still lots of competition out there, a lot of people searching for clients using different advertising methods making it harder to find clients.
you are right the competition in todays world is very high specially in these days. i think a web designer should also have little bit of digital marketing and communication skills. these are 2 important skills you would need if you really want to stand out and compete with others in your field.. and the best platforms are linkedin twitter and facebook in my opinion. these are the platforms where you can really showcase your designing skills and get clients if you know litle bit about digital marketing and communication..

If you are good at web design then you can write all the information about your experience in the service section offered in this forum. At first it might take time and a lot of trouble to find your client. That's why you can do some of your design work for free in the first instance. After that if you can attract clients by working with your good skills then you will not have to find any more clients in future. Clients will find you. Also you can showcase your skills on Facebook, LinkedIn all social media this medium will help you find your clients.

Web designing work are in high demand these days. Web design has now become a competitive platform.If you want to find a good website for designing and webdevoloper i will suggest you One of the  platforms is fiber upwork freelancing.com.Those with good skills can earn a lot of money from these platforms. I have many friends who earn good amount of money from fiver. But for the newbies to get work on these platforms has to get a lot of speed. Because clients always select experienced people for their work. If newbies work patiently on these platforms they can earn good money at one time.No matter what type of web designer you are, you will find all kinds of work on these platforms.
The reason that web designers are in high demand, the niche has become too saturated and the competition margin is too high that a newbie or someone with no past experience really finds it difficult to get clients only because most clients look for professionals who can get their work done quickly and with perfection while a new designer will lack one of the two qualities.

People tend to choose niches that have less competition so that they can have a better hiring ratio since there will be less people providing those services and they can easily get clients to work with, that is mainly what happens on Fiverr.

In order to succeed in the competitive marketplace for online freelancing, oneself must provide top-notch services at a fair price, consistently develop one's abilities, and keep up with technological advancements. New freelancers can still thrive by developing a good profile and placing bids on assignments, but more seasoned freelancers have a better chance of obtaining clients. Finding clients might also be aided by joining pertinent Facebook groups. Success depends on offering high-quality services, developing trusting connections, and keeping up with industry developments.

the competition will continue to exist, you have to be prepared for that but only those who have added value will survive and dominate the hearts of consumers.

before AI, competition only happened between humans but now it's different, with AI amateur web designers look professional but is the (purely human) web designer market threatened? the answer is no -- you must be ready to compete with millions of other web designers, show your clients that they have chosen the right person to handle their web design and give discounts or other services that can attract potential customers to choose you.

and when you have got consumers, then take care of them so they can continue to order (you handle updating their site design continuously) and even ask your client for help to market it to friends (companies) they might know.
The fact you mentioned about AI is quite accurate actually. Nowadays, a beginner in web designing can easily curate a stunning web design utilizing an AI model such as ChatGPT, all they need is to have a basic understanding of the coding syntaxes that are used in web designing only to rectify things that AI might have missed.

In such times, a web designer who is serious about their work will surely need to keep themselves updated with all new and old programming, designing and scripting languages so that he can stay ahead of the competition.

What type of web designer you want. There are different skill wise web designer you will find according to their experience. some are top class experience web designer and you have to pay big. if you need a client for sample work then don't look for high professional but intermediate level designer will also be suitable for your work and you have not to pay big.

The Best platform i suggest will be Fiver which is most used for finding client. You have to see the gigs and review of each client. Nowadays These clients buying fake reviews and increasing gigs with fake method. You have to be careful with this. i generally use Facebook freelance group for finding client and still work for me. You can also check this and this is I think fastest way to get more clients in less time. There are other platform suggested by other members but i have not used these platform. you can check these , may be other platform better than i suggested.

As a web designer, there are many opportunities for you to find decent jobs both within and outside of this forum. There are many websites that offer such opportunities, and they pay good money. All you need is a portfolio and good skills to showcase your work before you start applying for jobs. Once you do that, I'm confident that you'll get clients in your DMs asking for designs. Just be creative in your work, and everything will work out great.

Can new users write here?  I am a new users I want to know a lot from the form I hope everyone will help me
and yeah, new members can post here and in different sections of the forum. Just make sure to stick to the topic and try to write constructive posts, so that you can rank up and improve your account.
The thing is, these things are not as easy when one is doing them as they sound when they are said. One might be able to create some sample work only to show their capabilities, but most clients ask for real projects that an individual has worked on and if you are fresh and have no past works, you will have trouble finding clients initially.

Though one can surely find clients eventually if they dedicate their time and put some efforts in, it might be discouraging at the beginning when your hard work doesn't seem to pay off, but one needs to be patient and keep trying.

Well, before looking for useful freelance platforms, you have to build a professional and creative portfolio, It could be the most effective tool to attract clients. Plus, try to improve your communication skills, it is really essential to make negotiations go smooth. Moreover, there is a plenty a platforms and marketplace. The most famous ones are:
- Fiverr
- Upwork
- Freelancer
For me, I would avoid them due to quanitiy of freelancers in these platfrom is extremely large, It takes months to start gaining acceptable amounts of money depending on your skills and plans. In addition to that, I have checked some crypto platforms before unfortunately the majority of them are dead. In fact, I advise you to offer your services in this forum. Good luck and hope all goes well with you.

I would suggest you go offline and speak directly with business owners. The face-to-face contact matters a lot.
Where easy ways are already available why are you needlessly suggesting to take the hard way. Face-to-face meetings may work for other businesses, but for these jobs, I don't think face-to-face meetings matter much. And I don't think any company now sit for web designers like this to build their website because they can go to good platforms like Allready Fiber, upwork and hire highly professional or budget friendly web designers for them.
You are right that things have changed, it's not like the old times when developers or programmers needed to visit so many places only in search of a job, and they would give a lot of interviews every day at different places and offices. But today, the world has revolutionized, and you don't need to do those things anymore. From interviews to hiring or attending meetings, everything can be done online these days.

It would also not be wrong to mention that the competition has increased as well over the course, so as there are more facilities available for people to find and land jobs, there is also tough competition for jobs.

How can you find clients offline when most businesses today that are looking for a web designer can easily be found on the web. It's true that F2F contract do really count and it matters a lot but with today's phasing and digital age, it's easier to find clients that are on this specific niche online. When you go offline and try to look for them personally, you'll walk and go through each establishment to ask them if they need a web designer? I don't think that's a good strategy and you'll be exerting a lot of effort from it and that's why it's better to use the resources that you've got and be online and look for them at many job marketplaces which both of you can meet online and have conferences and sign contracts online.
Well, sometimes it does work when you walk up to a software house or a company and drop your CV letting them know that you are looking for a job and what position you are willing to work in, but as you said, it's not really required since almost all the companies even the smallest ones are available online or at least have their social media handles where they can be reached out.

I believe having interviews on-site is much better than having them online if you are interviewing for a job within the same city that you're living in because you may face problems in online interviews sometimes with an internet connection or any other issue can disturb your interview and you may lose the opportunity.

The best platform to get clients as a web designer is an online listing/profile on sites like Designhill, Upwork, Freelancer and others. Theoretically, these platforms help you manage your workload easier by selecting several clients at once and completing their projects together (instead of doing each one individually). Plus they provide a structured way to track how much money you make from these projects, which will help you measure how much time it takes to build your reputation.

Advertising platforms usually prioritize those who pay the most. You will only get low ad visibility if you choose the lowest plan.

By the way, what methods have you done so far?
Getting clients is not always through advertising, you can offer your services directly by contacting potential clients on social media. Maybe it's because you're only targeting big clients/companies making it difficult for you. I only suggest starting small to add to the collection of experiences on your portfolio page. You can also sell web templates on design marketplace sites like 99designs, dribble, or others and place your personal contacts so they will contact you for design changes or adjustments.

Even I think that web designing jobs are more and more in demand these days. Now retail businesses are starting to have their own websites to serve their customers.

So, that's right, there are many means for creators to sell their services via the internet, some via freelancer websites like Fiver but there the pieces are quite large and compete with seniors who are old and trusted, or through social media by way of marketing through their portfolios. or by contacting via Email by looking for an art director or similar.

Fiverr and Upwork are the two most popular freelancing platform in my region. The only downside is that those two platforms are now overcrowded with sellers than the number of active buyers. So to stand out amidst the competition you need to be able to pitch your skill better than the average sellers in your niche.
The biggest challenge a new seller faces on such platforms is not having enough reviews or a rating to be able to stand out among the crowd, and buyers mostly see the most experienced and reliable sellers for their work. So unless you are very lucky or have optimized your gigs or services so well that they appear in a lot of searches, you stand no chance at all.

Those who manage to get some ratings and attract some buyers initially will have an advantage that can provide them with more opportunities, but those who fail to do that will have to face a lot of struggle to get a single client.

The cost of purchasing a course related to IT professions can be high, but it's essential to consider the potential return on investment.
It's critical to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the industry, as this can help you remain competitive and attract clients looking for expertise in specific areas.
Though what you are saying is correct that a developer will need to have knowledge about all the latest technologies, programming languages, scripting languages, and everything important if they want to stay on top of the competition, he would also require a platform to showcase those skills to get clients who will hire him to work for them.

I think once a person has the skills required, they should turn to freelance platforms available online, create gigs and offer their services on different platforms, and keep improving their reach as well. Sharing on social media can also help with the cause.

Facebook's orientation has slowly changed to a business platform rather than social since the marketplace feature was created. I read several reviews of FB ads users on Quora, especially those from countries with the most Facebook users, saying that FB ads are very effective. In my country (Indonesia), FB ads have started to be promoted a lot by several advertising mentors since the Covid season.
Since web design is a (in my opinion) generalist product, I'm more convinced that the OP is better with this method.
It is true that Facebook has now developed a good business platform for its users along with social media. But I think a web designer should keep a portfolio as well as gigs on various freelance websites. Because most of the buyers go to these places to find people for their work. I would direct the OP to consider these websites as the main source or platform for getting work as a web designer. Then you can use various social media as a side promotion.

I honestly think Instagram is the best platform for younger or older clients to be reached as you can expand the reach through multiple hashtags. It is also a platform that blew up not so long ago and has alot of improvements coming our way.
Yes, if someone has a budget and willing to run ads, then there can be no better place than Facebook and Instagram targeted ads. You can select your desired regions, target audience with interests related to what you are selling and other metrics. You can get good results if you know how to set up your ads.

Other than that, joining telegram groups and posting your skills also might get you better results as per what I have been observing in most exchange's telegram groups (but it might become as a violation of terms and conditions hence checking that well before might save you from getting banned).

Like you obviously said, "a lot of people are searching for clients using different advertising methods", thereby making it hard for others like you to find clients to patronize you for your service. That means your lack of client is not that there ain't clients in the market but that you (OP) lack advertising method to use in magneting these clients to yourself, so why don't you start by offering freelancing as your own method not until when clients must have seen how good you are at what you do, then you can start demanding for payment for your services which they (clients) will definitely agree to pay cause they have seen your work and how good you are at it. They can also introduce you to their other colleagues.

You almost sound as though, your scared of competition and is most likely not to survive in a highly competitive market as we've got in our world today. I might not be able to point you to any specifics that could help you meet with clients but, I can tell you,clients are everywhere on the net and it's there job to find you and not the other way round. The lamest you could do is to be visible and that means, advertising yourself, joining communities and owning pages on social media platforms to display your works.

Note, work done properly for one client is enough to earn you sme referrers and then, a trend develops. It become of increasing importance that, anytime you've got a job, you deliver an excellent service and go about some positive advertising. The Internet has made a lot of things easier for those that are good at what they do. Be best, better than good!

we must have sufficient knowledge and experience will have a greater chance of finding clients compared to those who have just entered this competitive market, and to be more competitive it is better to try to ask for lower rates from your competitors because surely from that you will get more and more clients, social media can be an option to find clients and can try to find clients manually.

Asking for more lower rates will just kill the industry and to many skilled workers will get affected on it since this might not good in the long run because for sure if many clients will find out that there are people willing to work at cheapest price for sure this will lead to more bad pay cuts to other to. So know your worth and better work on your skills so that you can get plenty of clients and can get decent pays with it for sure the referral of your past clients will help you on freelancing industry.

If you're a designer looking for a platform to offer your services, I would suggest Fiverr and Upwork, both have huge audiences of people in need of design services and also share your fiver and Upwork account links to your social media accounts and also on LinkedIn..

Yes, these two must be the most popular ones, although lately, I've been hearing it's getting more and more difficult to find a project on Upwork. Good tip for LinkedIn!

If you're a designer looking for a platform to offer your services, I would suggest Fiverr and Upwork, both have huge audiences of people in need of design services and also share your fiver and Upwork account links to your social media accounts and also on LinkedIn..

The cost of purchasing a course related to IT proffession is quite on a high side in our world today, still lots of competition out there, a lot of people searching for clients using different advertising methods making it harder to find clients.

If you searching here for client I will say that I will be very difficult to find client in this forum . Some how if you find someone and if you can prove  your work with your skill, I don't think you have to look back. But it is very difficult to find work here . Even then there are many Freelancer Marketplaces in internet .Below here I mention the names of some of them:
The best is Fiverr, I have been working there for past 2 years.
The payment method is excellent there is no security deposit - but people like upwork too. I am not sure about it.

Fiverr is a platform for hiring graphics designer. There are people's that are offering different services on Fiverr with their price. So, we can hire a person and avail their services. It's a best place for finding clients and service provider.
To add to this, you can maybe try Upwork too. They both are the top freelancing platforms in my opinion. Them being the top freelancing platforms means there will definitely be a lot of competition, so you do have to offer services that standout amongst the rest.

If you are really good with what you do, trust me, those platforms are going to earn you a fortune.

Upwork is so saturated with well experience and skilled people so I most provably it will be so hard for new applicants to get a job their so maybe since he's now into crypto why not try to seek for a job here since for sure there are so many clients which is seeking for web designing works. This forum is known to be the largest crypto forum in the world so best to open up a thread that can help them boost his presence and place a portfolio since experience is a big deal upon hunting for clients.
I guess the OP is not active after he made a post. So there is no use of making comments.
The thread should be locked by now. So that more active thread takes the place.

I think that wherever you post your work/services, you might need to initially build a pretty large user base or following. That might be the first step, since an unknown or new user might just get looked over, or lost in the large amount of activity. Some people mentioned Fiverr and it is a good option since it is a competitive area, and people can find you easily, instead of the other way around.
Offering work for free is one of the few methods that some users have done previously. They might offer it for free on first order and then charge form the next order onward. It takes time to build your own userbase and nothing in this world comes without toil and hardwork. In the meantime one can keep improving and learning new skills in their field, in this case web designing.

Freelancing sites are one of the few places where every user gets a chance but it is a tough market to get into and building a reputation there will take time. Instead starting on a forum might give better chances because not everyone here is a designer, but there are many lurking.

To many competition are in that platform with high quality experience and feedbacks to their clients so before you can compete then for sure you need take a lot of effort just to get a client. Maybe from there you can start but expect to take a lot of effort on promoting your works and also yourself since once you get a client and you do a good job for sure those clients will hire you again and refer you to their friends.

Be keen. In these forums, I have seen people mostly critic instead of providing actual solutions or answers that could help. Best believe you can get design jobs on platforms like fivver, freelance, oDesk etc.
Fiverr is the best one. It is easy to use both for the seller and the buyer. If we comapere it with other platform this is the best I worked on.
Fiverr support team is very active and they are very responsive, but the bad thing is that there is so much saturation on the freelance websites that is it hard to find the authentic worker. Keep a look on review and last delivery to check if the worker is authentic.

I second you. Fiverr is the finest place to get clients and sell your services also the Customer support is very quick and responsive. It’s the most secure both for the seller and buyer.  Most importantly the interface is user friendly.I got my first order with in week after creation of my gig. Hope it helps.
But the down side is that they deduct 20% from your order money. Try finding clients here at bitcointalk.org and get paid in crypto with zero cuts.

The race is global, and therefore you can focus on the platforms available in your country, and if you do not find enough, social media is considered good if you better manage the marketing of your products.

The problem lies in the case of different countries, trust and payment via bank transfers causes a lot of headaches, which makes many resort to using digital currencies, but its market is still very small and limited.

So it is your payment method, your experience and your marketing skills that determine the number of clients and not the platform you use.

you can try to buy some udemy with good discount (or free) because of black Friday season.

You can try also it here in the forum, try to create a thread and find someone to work with you, and pay them with Bitcoin.
It's good to find here because they are already aware of cryptocurrency or about Bitcoin.

You can try on this section: Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Services
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Ask for their portfolio or previous works, beware of scammers.

Hey, I want to tell you something about your question. I just ask someone about your question and they tell me social media is the best platform from where you
can get clients. Especially Instagram is good for you.

I don't about that thing on instagram but actually you can get those jobs on upwork,fiverr and even here. But also if we discuss about social media then Linked is one of the best platform to choose with but to maximize all maybe its good to place our experiences on our timeline on which social media platform we are active on since for sure there are clients out there would provably here us if we have experience for the job they are seeking for.

Upwork is a fine place but the fees are outrageous. If you can establish a good relationship with the employer, you can find him/her outside of upwork and continue from there. It is usually the best route for the freelancer and the employer both. Be careful though, upwork shouldn't know what you are up to or they may ban your account. Upwork is a good platform but only till you find your decent employer, then you continue to build your network from there. Don't depend on upwork too much.

Why not posting your service offered here? For sure you can get some clients knowing that many are seeking for something they need to learn or get some workers who can work for them so  better try to post your creative thread for people to see also try to seek it on linked since mostly big time clients are there posting their wants regarding on technical and other type of jobs that they required.

Better to post on multiple platform so that you can get a better result.

Yes OP should post about his services and portfolio in the services section. There are many emerging crypto and gambling companies who may need the services of the web designers. Since not many people offer such service here, the competition will be less as compare to the freelancing platforms like fiverr.

If you're a designer looking for a platform to offer your services on I would say Fiverr and/or Upwork are your best bet. Both have large audiences of people in need of design services, and you won't have to worry about getting scammed or anything because they use an in-house escrow type of system.

Although the cost of online available paid courses are high, but there are many free courses available. People learn from these free courses and then offer their services on freelancing platforms. This increases the competition and in return the buyer of these services get better product on cheap rates.

As other say the competition is so high everywhere so you need to do something more interesting things to market your skills and to became more competitive better try to ask more lower rate than your competitors since for sure from that you will get more client even here. Maybe you can start to post your portfolio and see if you can convince clients to get your service to them so make sure you finish the job according to the set deadline and you finish it without complain since for sure your existing clients will recommend you to his friends and other near them.

Just be active in most of the marketplaces including the forum and other social media platforms. I see the big demand for web designer and developers and I think you'll be better if you're also a developer since most companies hire someone that does both.

It helps them save time looking for another person to work at that portion but don't get low balled and know your worth and skill. Aside from those places, in freelancing sites too, be active there and just do the related search for your skillset to look for your clients.

The competition will always be high in terms of efficiency and price. You won't get an easy work or job on the online freelancing platforms.
For sure, those who have learnt and have knowledge & experience will have more chances of finding a client as compare to the one who have recently entered in this competitive market. However you can try your luck on different Facebook relevant groups and try to find clients manually.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
Advertising platforms usually prioritize those who pay the most. You will only get low ad visibility if you choose the lowest plan.

By the way, what methods have you done so far?
Getting clients is not always through advertising, you can offer your services directly by contacting potential clients on social media. Maybe it's because you're only targeting big clients/companies making it difficult for you. I only suggest starting small to add to the collection of experiences on your portfolio page. You can also sell web templates on design marketplace sites like 99designs, dribble, or others and place your personal contacts so they will contact you for design changes or adjustments.

Even I think that web designing jobs are more and more in demand these days. Now retail businesses are starting to have their own websites to serve their customers.

Well if you are in the profession and you know this then you need to learn how to market your skills properly, in other words, what you bring to the table that other cannot bring froth right away.

If you are looking to work in web designing you can find some jobs on this forum too, paying in bitcoin. My suggestion is to give some free designs to well known users as a vouch and use that to improve your portfolio to some extent and gain popularity here - that will help you get future jobs and launch your career.

But it is indeed tough for a new user to get recognized here, if that is what you are aiming for.

In real life this is more or less same, use your contacts to seek out potential clients and give them some free work or some discounted services.
