Stop looking for clients.
Start looking for people asking for help.
The best leads aren’t hidden—they’re posted publicly every day on:
• X
• Reddit
• LinkedIn
• Discord
• Telegram
• Facebook Groups
• GitHub Discussions
• Indie Hackers
• Product Hunt
• Hacker News
Search for phrases like:
“Need a developer”
“Looking for a designer”
“Any recommendations?”
“Our app is broken”
“Website is too slow”
Don’t send a generic DM.
Instead:
Find the problem.
Record a 30-second Loom showing how you’d fix it.
Send the video with one sentence:
“I noticed this issue and made a quick video with a possible solution.”
You’ll stand out because almost everyone else sends copy-paste messages.
The fastest way to get clients is to become the first person who solves a problem—not the hundredth person asking for work.
