Paid $35 for a 6 month meetup subscription and it paid off

I thought meetups were just networking fluff but there's one near me in Austin that does skill shares every other Friday. After 3 sessions I picked up 2 recurring clients from other freelancers who overheard my pitch. Anyone else found a good group that actually leads to work or am I just lucky?

The one that worked for me was a small design meetup that capped attendance at like 15 people. We did live portfolio reviews and someone there passed my name to their old boss. Took about 4 months of showing up regularly before I saw real work from it. Sounds like you found the right kind of group, not all of them have that mix of freelancers and people who actually hire.
