What would be a good way to get the very first client if I’m a nobody outside of my tiny friend and colleagues circles?

First, you are somebody. You have more skills in your area of expertise than anyone else you will meet.

My first clients came from volunteering at the local football club. As others have said, connections matter.

Do what doesn't scale. But don't do it for free.
