Don't go to meetups. Don't go to conferences until you have some leverage. Take the network you have now and find one or two clients that you can provide tremendous value for. Spend a lot of time with them and hone what you have to offer into a very compelling service. Once you do that, then focus on a slightly larger client or network that is connected to your accounts. It's a grind. There's no shortcut.
