    How about just sending emails around to studios/clients you'd want to work with? mention your site, availability, rate range, rate is open to negation depending on length of booking etc. Simples. Just their main contact address usually work, but if you've got spare time linked in can get you the names of people you need to speak to.

    I used to spam 30 or so companies when I'd hit a dry spell and within an hour be on a call with a studio and in working the following day.

    Plus those recruiters typically stick a minimal £50 on top of the rate you get per day.. so for studios, if you email them directly and just bump up your rate given to recruiters a bit, not only do you get paid more, but you're more attractive to studios as you're cheaper than a freelancer from a recruitment agency.
