How'd you get your first client?

Or maybe I should ask, do you think there’s a market for professionally-built websites for under $1k USD?

We’re based in the US and company management gave me the go-ahead to offer web dev for insanely low prices, but have seen almost no interest and I think it is actually the pricing that is killing interest.

I’d like to show what is possible with Wappler even on a small budget, but so far paid ads aren’t working and I had hoped to avoid the job-listing type sites.

Any advice, encouragement, or direction welcome! Thanks.
