A great point - it's important to do that ahead of the moment when you'll ready need to have clients (and it takes time for sure).
For consultants working with a single client, the right moment to do that kind of marketing is right now, while you're busy with your gig.
I've found that giving talks and weekly writing blog posts (https://www.robustperception.io/blog/) are great for acquiring customers. Beware though it's often at least 6-9 months before any of it directly bears fruit.
