Make it easy for prospective clients to see the awesome work you do with a public display of your best projects on a free site such as Dribbble or Contently. Set a reminder to update your portfolio each time you finish something new.

Increase social proof on your site by including testimonials (which should be real, fake ones are very easily identified)

Introduce yourself to agencies. Many freelancers mistakenly assume that agencies are the competition, the reality is that they can be a great source of work! Make relationships with larger service providers in your area so that you can possibly take on their overflow work during busy seasons.

It is recommended to consider getting a content delivery network (CDN) for hosting your images. It helps speed up your website.
