Apart from offering freelancing services through freelance markets, online communities and social sites, I also sell through my own personal website. I have been running websites for almost 10 years and I can actually count how many times I sold my services through my website. It is not easy to get freelancing contracts through your website.

I think it's very essential to have a personal website as it can be a powerful tool for freelancers, but it’s very challenging to attract clients directly through it. The most important thing is to focus on SEO and content marketing to attract audience. Through that, it's possible to win clients over.
