Freelancers, how do you successfully expand to new markets?

Question

As a freelancer, I've worked on 100+ projects, including some for billion dollar US companies through an agency. Those clients were very impressed with my work.I'm now looking to build my own client base in the US market. I have the skills and expertise, as evidenced by my track record.What strategies have worked for you to land new clients in a different market, leveraging past successful projects? I'm interested in tips for marketing, lead generation, networking, or any other approaches that could help freelancers make this transition effectively.

Not to take your candies off - wish you very best and hope you make it.
"through an agency" - is completely different situation than on your own from buyer perspective.
> Those clients were very impressed with my work.
Ask them to hire you directly as freelancer or ask them to refer (you can also optionally compensate for referral) you some work. Easy to make and effective.
Good luck
