**The answer is personal referrals. When a client sends a friend or family member your way, that's the clearest sign they're actually satisfied.**

Marketing tools like social media, ad spend, or a shop fan page can bring in new faces, but none of them actually prove anyone liked the work. A referral only happens because a real client was happy enough to put their own name behind you.
