I learned to program for a startup that I founded about 8 years ago. Once people saw what I could do, they asked me to help on their projects. It's all been word of mouth. I don't advertise, or even have a website for my consulting business. I'm generous with my time and volunteer to teach classes, give talks, meet with anyone who's learning and wants to chat, etc. So, I'm sure that helped.
