Network anywhere and everywhere. I've landed a decent little yearly freelance job from my cousin's boss at the beer sellar and the dude who manages my son's little league uses me and he has many connections. Like I said anywhere and everywhere. Don't push, just keep your eyes open and let people know what you can do. Hope this helps!

If you've been working at an agency for 5 years, then you probably already have a bunch of connections right there, and if not, then you have the right people to recommend you. Most large cities have some sort of organization for creatives and I'd start looking there first. If not, take a look at the small or private business organizations in your area, maybe even chambers of commerce and such. I'd say go ahead and create your own identity, build your own site, and then get rolling. I've been freelancing since graduation and it's been alright, though I've been too busy to actually turn around and properly do all of my identity since I've been handling everyone else's work. Go figure.
