30 years in the biz. I've always relied on the basics. Show up on time. Express your passion for the work. Go beyond your clients expectations. Shoot allot of free stuff for non-profits and creative projects. Build a reputation. Be patient

Get your name out there via social and more importantly word of mouth. Tell everyone what you do. Join organizations that has possible clients as members. I'm a commercial shooter so my niche' may be different from some.
