However am having difficulty finding clients? Any tips?

I have found a WordPress.org blog quite useful for climbing up the rankings and pulling in a bit of organic trade.

 

Start Local - ask friends and family of anyone they know who may want a new website or redesign, basically network.

Have a portfolio website - clients need to be impressed by previous work.

Fishing - look for local business websites that could do with a make-over and contact them to offer your services. (I did this to start and after 5 letters I had my first client).

Consider regular freelance work - offer your services to computer/web design companies for an hourly fee. you'll probably need more than one income stream to start with.

 

my opinion

you should know your company's advantage and your client's need,them try your best to make them fit with!
you can go to the websitemytino,i think it's useful!
take it easy and good luck!
