Question

I am freelance video producer, I do weddings, fashion shows and events, how can i get new clients?

Answer 1

advertise. go out and advertise your skills to people who might want to hire your. also, you should build up a good portfolio to show potential clients so that they'll more likely pick you than the others.

Answer 2

While newspaper is slowly dwindling in readership people still like to see certain things in print. One of these is wedding announcements.

I'd contact the local paper and see if you buy an ad to be placed EXACTLY on that page. The readership that would see it are your clients.

I'd also contact some churches in the area and see if they had newsletters... most do... that I could advertise in.

Contact the local bridal boutiques and make sure you name is known. While your talking to them see if there are any bridal shows in your area.

Look up some other freelancers in other cities and contact them. See what ideas they have done to get business. A freelancer in New York doesn't compete with you if you were in California for example.

Answer 3

The best free advertising site is http://craigslist.org  Click on your city, state, or country and find what is most local for your geographic location.  The ads are free and I always get good results when I use it.

Answer 4

attend bridal shows.

Answer 5

You have to constantly look for new business and then you have to wait until they call.  It's hard surviving while you're going from zero to the point where you're making some decent money.  It might be better working for a company with an established customer base.
