How Can I Find Web Development Clients Without Paid Ads?

In my experience, I’ve found some clients on Reddit, but it feels like those opportunities are drying up. Have you thought about trying other platforms like Instagram? It might be worthwhile to explore.

It's tough these days, especially since you need to know how to market yourself. I've been going door-to-door to local businesses trying to sell my services, but so far, it's been a bit of a struggle. Many small businesses are content with their basic template websites, while bigger companies tend to hire agencies. I've been thinking about trying Facebook ads as another option.
