You need contacts/referrals to start. If you don't have those, you're going to end up getting very low-paid shit work for shit people.
Nearly half of my contracts have been former employers, or companies where a former manager/coworker was and got me an interview. The rest have been referrals from those companies. Cold outreach or inbound is a small minority (<10% for sure).
