You need to get your name out there.
The best way to do that is to network, and the way I found best to do it was through participation in community groups and youth sports. People get to know you, learn what you do, maybe try you out at their house and think of you when there is work to be done at their business, factory or rental property.
Join the local Chamber of Commerce. It will help to get your name out there.
I ran a small word ad under "Business Services" in the local newspaper every Friday. It was cheap and effective.
Hand out a business card to everyone you talk to.
