Overview
When I first started offering web design services, I had zero clients and no idea where to begin. So, I kept it simple: I asked my family and friends for help. I didn’t try to sell them on anything. Instead, I explained that web design was something I was working on and asked if they knew anyone who might need a website. I let them know how much it would mean if they could connect me with someone.

That approach worked like magic. My uncle introduced me to a basketball academy, and just like that, I landed my first client—for $500!
Here’s a pro tip: as you go through this journey, document it on social media. Share your wins, challenges, and progress. It’s a great way to build credibility and attract even more clients.
If you’re looking for your first paying client, start with your network—it’s closer than you think.
