Thanks for the advice! One question I still have- I'm sure that the tips you've shared will work in the long-term and pay off far more than making a quick buck, but any ideas how I could find good projects/jobs from people outside of my personal network?

My advice would be to drastically grow your personal network by getting yourself out there and engaging with the broader community.

You could start by identifying a business segment which has a common 'pain'. Then devise a solution to that pain and market to that segment.
