> If you join a bunch of the freelance marketplaces it's really not hard

Hmm I've always heard the exact opposite. I haven't seen a freelance type of marketplace that isn't a huge race to the bottom. Whenever I've done consulting it's always been through contacts that I know; I've never found a way to actually make decent money through other means.

You do a few jobs on the cheapish, and quite often they will recommend you. Like I said, most of my jobs are through people finding me through various other projects. Contacts, like you said.
