What is the best way to find freelance clients (Step 1)

One of the most common questions I get in my Facebook group for freelance writers is, "how do I get new clients?"

There are several ways to land new clients, but one of the best ways is to build meaningful relationships with other freelance writers and then refer work to each other.

Don't believe it? Stats show that 66% of freelance writers find their clients through other freelance writers. It's true for a majority of freelance writers and it's certainly true for me.

But, how do you actually meet other writers?

Today, it's more difficult to go grab a cup of coffee with a freelance friend, but it's not impossible to connect via social media.

In an effort to help you grow your freelance relationships, here are some of my favorite places to connect with other freelancers online.
