How do you find clients/cutomers?

[fredgsanford]

I am a web designer that offers hosting as well on my website, but I find it hard to find customers when there is so much competittion out there these days. I know my prices are on the low side, and I don't mind that because I enjoy the work .. but still I can find very few customers. I know there are so many business's starting up everyday that could use a website that there should be enough work for all of us, yet some of us starve like myself, while others prosper. How do they find all of theit customers?

Any tips, ideas for successful ways to find potential customers on the web without spamming everybody & everything that moves?

alot of people are into neiche markets - i.e. due to them taking part in an activity like martial arts they get to know alot of people and end up creating 30 martial art club sites and tournaments.

Another thing would be to create a community site and then promote your business on it.
