Asking about how to find tons of clients

Hello DPers

I am a writer with no less than 7 years experience. Writing is my hobby and so far, my main income comes from writing. Almost all of my clients come from this forum and a number of freelance sites. Well, what I want to ask is " can I get clients outside of this forum and other similar forums? Can I search for clients by contacting website owners directly?

Thanks for your answer

 

Obviously, you can try, but I doubt that it will be effective though. Most of them are writing their own stuff and if they aren't they will offer you pennies for your work. You need to create "a need". If there's no need, there's no demand and no real pay for your work.

Did you try Facebook groups/Reddit/Digg/Twitter?

 

If would try freelancer sites instead of contacting website owners directly. The website owners may consider your offer spam, while the buyers on the freelancer websites will find your offer at the moment they need your service.

 

Thanks for your answer. I have tried Facebook Groups but so far, I got nothing. Maybe I should try Twitter, Reddit and Digg

 

Okay, noted, Could you suggest sites like iWriter? Some of them require only US citizens, closing my chances to join.

 

I used to hire article writer many years ago at RentACoder. This freelancer marketplace was acquired by Freelancer.com so you can give it a try

 

thanks for your advice

 

Yeah Right, You can contact website owners directly and create your own service website to make more familiar in organic search engine result pages.
