offer your service for free at first. People will pay you anyway (without asking) if you do a great job. Then you get one client, then another one, then another. Increase your price along the way while building your portfolio. How do you get your first lead even for free? Craigslist or find ways of going to events where people aren't technical at all. It'll come. There's no magic trick you can't make big money without a network in life.
