If you can't find clients, you can always try and have clients find you. Recruiters are all over LinkedIn looking for candidates. Update your profile to say you are seeking contract assignments, and give some detail on what you are qualified for / interested in/ locations, etc. This might be a bit more difficult as a moonlighter if you don't want your current employer to know you are moonlighting, but recruiters and agencies will find you. Once you get a few projects under your belt, you should start making connections to get work referred to you - other contractors who aren't available will refer people to you if they know you do good work. I know lots of contractors who pass off work to others and rarely (if ever) have to approach people to find work. They turn down more work than they can handle.
