All you need to do is go to elance.com or guru.com. People are looking for graphic designers there. All you have to do is sign up and pay $20 and you can bid on a number of jobs. Payment is handled through an escrow account. This means the customer pays Elance and they hold the money for you. This way you know the money is there and you don't have to worry about being ripped off. When the job is done, Elance will wire you the money or deposit it into your PayPal account. It's very simple. As long as you have a portfolio, you should get jobs. You may have to do a few jobs for little money in the beginning to build your account rating (like Ebay), but once you get going you're good to go
