    I never know where work is going to come from. A surprising amount of it comes from these meetings of a local marketing group that I attend, where everyone is allowed to introduce themselves at the end. But sometimes the phone rings from someone I've met through golf, sometimes people I've met through tennis, sometimes a friend of a client. Anywhere you can meet people from the business world, and make a good impression on them, is a place where you can make a client.

    Plus, if there are businesses you deal with regularly, (like the local coffee shop, or the place you get your cleaning done) after they've become familiar with you, introduce yourself and tell them what you do. Anywhere you're dealing with people, and not coming across as a total oaf, is a place to let people know what you do.

    Also, keep in touch with people you went to school with. Especially if you went to art school. Some of the people you went to school with move up the ladder in the creative fields, and its nice if they remember you when they do.
