The key to paying bills is not to get a constant flow of work, which will take a while, it's to live off of a portion of your income and save the rest. IMO you should have at least 6 months of expenses in the bank before you start freelancing. This also ameliorates a lot of the stress related to finding work, and means you won't feel pressured to accept or pursue bad work. I got my first freelance gig by posting on the HN whoishiring thread, which I do recommend doing.
