I enjoy designing and developing website. I would like to get paid for it. My plan is to get paid $1,000/website. How to get my first client today?

Note: No Fiverr or something similar.

I started by reaching out by reaching out to everyone I knew who does freelance. I managed to get my first client that way because I was at the top of mind of one my friends when their friend needed a dev very quickly.

The first way to get clients is to call up friends. Also, $1000 for a website is very low depending on what it is you're doing.
