confused about how to move up in this industry

i have had my license for about a year now i work in a chain salon so all my clients are walk-ins. i make pretty good money doing this and it gives me lots practice and experience but my dream has always been to work in an independent salon and have a clientele that comes to me regularly. i am aware that it takes time to build your clientele up but i wouldn’t even know where to begin on something like that. i dont know many people in my area and i don’t post on social media which i know is a sin in the hairstylist community but i do not like the idea of having to become a part time influencer to build clientele. any tips and tricks from anyone who’s built a clientele without bringing in people you already know or posting lots on socials?

is my rook pierced too deep?

i got this done five months ago (all they had was black jewelry) and it’s been painful to bend my ear in any way near the piercing, let alone change the jewelry. i’ve been to this piercer before for all my piercings and they’ve done well, so i’m wondering if the rook needs more time to settle in or if it truly was incorrectly pierced? for reference i do keep up with saline spraying it every day and clean off the crusties but other than that i leave it completely alone.
