Tips on getting serious clients as a Freelancer

[Achieve_Bay]

I'm a Mobile App freelancer and I have been one for the better chunk of 2019. Business is pretty good, but it could be better and I'm really serious on growing my business so I can branch out and get more out there. I was wondering if anybody here had any experience as a freelancer and had tips on how to gain serious clients as a freelancer. When I say serious what I mean is a client who is as motivated in getting the project done as you are.

Things I've done:
- I created a website and used google Ads so I can reach more people (achievebay.com)
- I go to networking events with more business cards in my pockets than Batman has batarangs in his utility belt
- I reach out to people on websites such as Upwork and Fiverr where clients are actively looking for freelancers for such jobs

Does anybody have any other ideas I can implement?
