Any minute now the clients are going to start piling in, because you have a killer site. You wait some more. You go back to the forums, and see other people posting site review requests, complaints, and brags about clients. And you wait. You will wait forever.
Luck plays no part in it.
The most important thing I've learned on the path to becoming a freelance web designer is that the clients are not going to flock to you - you have to find them. I mean, people don't usually walk down the street muttering about how they need a web designer. The secret to finding many clients is convincing people that they need a website, and that they just don't know it yet. You must think of everyone you meet as a potential client. While doing your laundry, strike up a conversation with the guy next to you.
