Do I have to have a big audience online to attract clients

You don't need a massive following to get clients. Selling services like writing or consulting gets you paid faster than digital products because you can charge more per customer and need fewer sales.
There's all these different paths you can take to monetizing your craft, any craft. We'll use writing as the example. The fastest path though, is not selling a product, it is selling a service. Because if you think, and everyone in the creator world talks about selling digital products, right? Selling ebook, sell a course, you sell cohort based experience, whatever it is, right? But that's not actually the fastest path because most of those products, if not all of them, are priced in a couple hundred bucks or less. Or if you're selling an ebook, it's like 10 or $20, right? So the lower the price point, the more volume you need. So it sounds really easy to go, okay, well I can make, you know, five or ten grand selling a $200 course, for example, but you have to play that out and go, okay, well how many of those do I need to sell every month in order to sustain 5, 10, 20k a month? So your fastest path to replacing your full time income is not selling products, because products take longer, because you need to build an audience in order to sell them, and you need to sell them in volume. It's much easier to go find one client that is willing to pay you three grand, four grand, five grand to do something for them. So it's actually monetizing through a service.
