My client list went from full to three names in about six months.
I had a steady stream of referrals and repeat work until I stopped posting my portfolio updates online. The drop started slow, then got bad fast. A regular told me flat out, 'I forgot you were still doing this.' Anyone else seen their work dry up when they got quiet online?

Honestly, sounds like @the_rowan has the right idea.

That line about your regular saying they forgot you were still doing it really hits home. I went through the same quiet phase and my calls just stopped. What turned it around for me was setting a simple rule to post one finished piece every single week, even if it felt small. It's not about being flashy, it's just a constant reminder you're open for business. After a few months, the old clients started checking in again, like they just needed to see my name pop up.
