My first thought is that you have already done one of the best things you could.
You say you are 'new here', so welcome, and congratulations.
Make sure you start making a name for yourself where your potential clients are hanging out. (If you would like my recommendations of networks where the more 'busy-solo' hangs out, do PM me).

Use the networks to make friends. Not clients, friends. In order to trust a VA with a part of my business, I need to trust them (as I do my US VA that will be handling my US mailshot for me). This trust isn't won by 'pitches' and 'prices' (I'm not suggesting that this is what you are doing), but by developing a good reputation as a PERSON.
There are always many more people reading these boards than actually comment, and then many more that may read via the search engines (if network is public).

By putting energy into networking, you will eventually start noticing that clients start coming to you.

Best.
