How should I go on as a “bedroom” producer/mix engineer?

Hey guys, so I know my question is very vague so I’m trying to specify what I mean.

I’m trying to get more producing/mixing jobs, got no studio or even home studio, because lack of money and space.
I work basically in my bedroom right now with some minor acoustic treatment. Because of that I mostly work on headphones.

I have a low-medium income day job right now. So I don’t relay on the audio thing.
But I am trying to do more work in audio. Mostly metal mixing/producing.
Also I have a couple of live jobs from time to time, but mostly small venues, some music school live events, and stuff like that, nothing major.

But I would love to do more, more “studio” work, but I have the feeling most people in that particular genre of music do either everything on their own or go to bigger, well established studios. I’ve basically so far only have a couple records for another bands and they were happy with my work and also recommended my work.
Also when I do live stuff the bands all were happy with my work.
But I seem to get no studio jobs and/or very few live jobs.

I’ve also got a Website where I have all my credits on there and also work to listen to that I’ve done already.

I’ve also tried doing more social media content to get myself out there, but right now I don’t feel that comfortable basically sharing my bedroom with the internet.

Is the problem the space I work in?
Is it my portfolio?
Is it my social media presence or lack there of?
Is it my website?

Do you guys have any advice on how I should go on?

Got some new mixing headphones. Why do I feel like I can’t judge my mix on them?

So my old mixing headphones (Avantone Mixphones) broke on Wednesday, so I ordered new ones which thanks to Thomann came yesterday in the mail (Beyerdynamics DT 900 Pro X) and those are wayyyyy flatter in response, especially in the low end, but way more detailed and focused.
And I feel more comfortable with them though I feel like I can’t judge the bass adjustments right.
It’s always to cloudy or too huge.
Is that just an adjustment thing of my ears/brain?
Do I need to get comfortable with them and that just takes time and a lot of listening sessions, with mixes from myself and others that I like a lot, to get to know them better?
I mostly listen and produce/mix extrem Metal Genres and some EDM and Hip Hop.
I feel like the bass sounds kinda dull.. but yeah maybe it’s just an adjustment thing?

Hey guys, ihope my question is not dumb or anything, but i would like to deinstall some third party plugins I've got, but never use, to free up some space on my C: Drive.
For some like Waves, UAD, Ugritone, etc i can just use the dedicated Plugin Manager like Waves Central etc.
But for Plugin Alliance plugins, there is no dedicated deinstall menu in the PA-Manager.
I could delete the fills all manualy, but I have a fear of corrupting some install data and that the deleted plugin isn't really wiped from my drive?
Would be great if u guy could help or got some tips.
