  Better yet, find a niche market that needs your talents the most. If you stay in a niche, word gets around a lot faster than trying to focus on everybody. If you do good work, eventually the business will come to you instead of you having to hustle for it. Once you own your niche market, rinse and repeat as necessary.

    Very much this. Many, many, many years ago when I made my living doing freelance tech support/AV for hire, I lucked into a well known recording artist as a client who needed some help with the computer equipment in his studio. My rate was already $80/hr before working with this client but word quickly got around and I had more clients than I could manage. I upped my rate to $160/hr and coasted on this for a couple of years.
