(How to) Build THAT Trust? - Web Design Outreach

[UnderdogStrategy]

Hello guys,

I've been trying to land some clients for a while now, but with no success (something small on Upwork, but that's not the direction i want to take).

I tried cold emailing people but it has been a disaster (insults, harsh replies that turned me down for weeks).
Some guy told me he was getting tons of work simply outreaching people on instagram/facebook and directly asking if they needed a website.
I've tried that as well but didn't work out for me.

I realized i wasn't providing any value.
I was just a random anonymous stranger trying desperately to sell something. Like a beggar.
Didn't like that feeling.

And i realized it's all about TRUST.
People buy if they trust.

Shifting my mindset towards the importance of trust, i'm trying to find a strategy for outreaching that makes sense.
I don't have real case studies yet, nor any big proof or results to show off.

Had two ideas so far:
1. Video introduction on my site - maybe some "let's build a website together" content on youtube too.
I don't like cameras, i'm not a good communicator but i guess this can level up the Trust.

2. Upfront value, creating a report with all is below

• analysis of the demand of their services(keyword research with geo modifiers basically "service+location" or "problem+location")
• picking the top 3 players online and show how much are they getting investing in a digital marketing strategy
• put together 3 mock ups, all within the industry's standards but each with a difference style/feel (one mock up will lead to a binary decision, with 3 the probability to really feel one like "theirs" is much higher)

Then just making a list of people with a not well positioned/designed website or people who don't have a site at all and try to open a conversation based on the data above.

I don't really know what to do more than that.
I know usually people start leveraging their network, which i tried, but with 0 results.

Have you tried something similar? What did work out for you?

Thanks!
