    1 - Identify what you are good at.
    2 - Find companies who operate in that space.
    3 - Approach them politely and professionally with your proposal.
    4 - Take it from there.

    It also depends on whether you want a contract (i.e. 3-6 months+) or whether you want an associate type relationship, where they can call you with shorter pieces of work.

    I did the latter and with multiple customers, it does generate enough turnover to be a viable proposition.
