Hi Ben,

You can do it on upwork, freelancer etc. there is a lot of competitions and highly skilled folks there ( on anywhere on INTERNET ;-) ) but i think you can learn how to differentiate yourself with this ( i assume that are able to deliver a serious work, as a developer):

I have tried to find projects from the internet but not successful. Most of my freelance projects are referred by my friends. Actually, I want to find project myself.

The fact is that we all start somewhere !!

Since you already have a few clients (even recommended one) just try to do you best to satisfy them (first) and when you finish a project stay in contact with them by sending mails about how they should use you solution, the updates, try to educate you client on the solution, etc...

The goal there is to stay in their mind. So They could think about you or recommend you to their friend, SO THE BIG GOAL IS TO CREATE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE (like salesforce).
