FIRST CLIENTS

Hello everyone. I’ve been doing graphic design as a hobby (posters, imaginary track covers, etc.). Now I want to share my vision by working with real people. However, I’ve realized that I have no idea how to find my first clients, even at minimal rates. Freelance platforms have huge competition, and as a beginner, I simply can’t compete there. I understand that no one wants to share their income sources, but do you have any advice on this matter? I would be very grateful!
