Word of mouth is very powerful if you aren't in a city centre.
I live in rural Ontario, Canada and any success, locally and/or abroad I can directly attribute to word of mouth.
Does "spec" work pay the bills?
Short term... No.
Long term?
Maybe!
...but, Maybe not.
The key is to determine your own personal wants and needs.
IF your needs is a list filled with material things, then work as an advertiser for McDonalds, Starbucks, Etc. the rest of your life and be content.
IF your needs is a list filled with such things as "personal fulfilment", "humility", etc. than take a few "spec" projects on; personally I've had some equate to nothing and others result in a solid pay cheque.
Patience is key.
