I'm a freelance mobile app developer and have been one for some time. I just found this forum and really like the mind set a lot of users have, so I figured I might as well ask for some advice.
What do you guys think is a good way to get clients as a mobile/web app dev.?

So far I've tried:
  • posting ads on craigslist in all major cities in the US (LA, NYC, CHI, MIA, etc.)
  • reached out to other freelancers and asked them if they ever get over booked with work they can refer me and I'll give them a cut
  • Bumble Bizznes (stupid I know, but I actually got a client from there lol)
  • attended seminars and networking events to meet people looking for this service
I've heard about an idea of cold emailing businesses but it seems like such a trivial task since every time I do this I can't ever reach who I need to talk to. If this works for anyone, can someone please let me know what they think is the best type of business to emphasize on?
