7 months in solid foundation, but feeling stuck. Need honest advice.

Hi everyone, I've been in AI automation for 7 months now. Here's where I'm at honestly:

What I've built:

- Upwork profile with 100% JSS, Rising Talent badge and n8n Verified Creator

- $400+ earned on Upwork

- One fixed client who pays $500/month for voice agent work

Real client deliverables voice agents, n8n workflows, Google Sheets automations, post call notification systems

The problem:

Since March I haven't landed a single new client outside my fixed retainer. Upwork feels saturated and my proposals aren't converting. Skool communities have been quiet too.

For people who are past this stage how did you break through? What actually worked for getting clients consistently at my level? Was it a specific channel, a specific offer, or something else entirely?

Any honest advice appreciated. I don't want sugar coating, I want what actually worked for you.

Seven months in I know how to build. I just need to figure out how to sell consistently.
