Ok so I started an instagram page for my professional work and cold outreaching, it's been 2 days so reach is OBVIOUSLY low and I got 20 followers in 2 days ..idk I'm lowkey feeling disappointed and demotivated and burnout is this normal? .. and about cold outreaching , I didn't text many brands and business owners because I want to build a good profile and posts and followers first then approach , however I was following a strategy to analyse their page and product and point out 1 mistake they've been doing and tell the solution to it , so they don't end up wasting their time reading a cold pitch. However I'm being ignored 😭😭 should I stop giving advices and do normal pitches? Or my strategy is good I just need to apply it with many people

I've been trying multiple platforms and I'm honestly getting pretty discouraged.

Indeed: way too much competition. I've applied to a lot of relevant social media/content roles, and despite having relevant skills, experience and measurable results, I haven't gotten a single response.

Upwork: seems promising, but having to spend money on Connects just to apply makes it difficult when you're still trying to get your first few clients.

Contra: there are some insanely talented SMMs/content creators with amazing portfolios, and I feel like it's really difficult to stand out.

LinkedIn: I've tried networking and looking for opportunities there, but I rarely come across actual clients.

Reddit: I've found opportunities here, but I've either been ghosted or come across people who seem suspicious/scammy.

For context, I'm not completely new to this. I've worked with a healthcare SaaS startup, a digital marketing company and a small business, and I handle much more than just posting — strategy, content calendars, copywriting, graphic design, reel editing, basic SEO, analytics/reporting, etc.

I've also had some measurable results, including 100K+ reach on a personal Pinterest project, 10K reach for a new social account within 30 days, and contributing to 2 leads within a month for a company.

I'm currently building my portfolio as well.

So for those of you who are actually getting clients consistently: where are you finding them, and more importantly, HOW are you approaching them?

Cold email? Instagram DMs? LinkedIn outreach? Local businesses? Referrals? Freelance platforms?

I'd genuinely appreciate any advice, especially from people who started with little/no network and managed to land their first few clients.

I've been trying multiple platforms and honestly getting discouraged 😭

Indeed has insane competition and I've gotten no replies despite having relevant experience and results. Upwork requires Connects to apply, Contra feels extremely competitive, LinkedIn hasn't brought much, and on Reddit I've mostly been ghosted or encountered scams.

I'm not completely new—I’ve worked with a healthcare SaaS startup, digital marketing company and small businesses, handling strategy, content, copywriting, graphic design, reels, SEO and analytics. I've also had results like 100K+ Pinterest reach, 10K reach in 30 days, and 2 leads in a month.

So where are you guys actually finding clients, and how are you approaching them? Cold DMs, email, LinkedIn, local businesses, referrals, freelance platforms? Any advice would be appreciated!

Where do you guys actually find your clients?

I have actual SMM experience + results, so I'm genuinely confused about where I'm supposed to find clients 😭
