So I am a professional web developer and looking to get some contract work (preferably charging clients on monthly or bi-weekly basis) and offer my services.

My main services are landing page, 5 page static websites and MVPs. My rates differ for each of the service, having fixed one time fee for landing page and 5 page static websites, and monthly fee for building MVPs and maintaining them.

I have done work for clients in past that I got referred from friends or colleagues but now I struggle to find more of them.

I was thinking to run ads but I found out running ads would demand a huge budget, and as I am not great at it I'll better need to hire someone for that as well.

I can start working on my SEO but that will take some time as well, so any suggestion on how to proceed?

If you seek to target people outside of your country, your basic option is doing any form of outreach to those businesses. It sounds as if you have a portfolio created and you know your industry, so pitching a call with them is your hardest aspect.

Another option for you would be to find a way to get in front of these international businesses in ways other than cold outreach. It could be ads, networking events, or asking existing clients if they could refer you to international clients.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Landon
