Been sending out proposals and DMs for weeks now and getting almost no replies. Have a decent portfolio and rates that seem fair. What actually works for getting that first client without spending hours on applications that go nowhere? Would love to hear real strategies from people who have been through this.

One approach that works is gently reminding prospects that your time has value and that your availability or quoted rate might change if they take too long to respond. That usually forces a decision. But if you are sending out proposal after proposal and getting nothing back, the problem is likely your pitch, not the platform. A generic application will never stand out. Learning how to maghanap ng freelance clients effectively means crafting a specific, personalized message that directly addresses a client’s problem, not just listing your skills.
