One company had a site that was down. I called them up, said I knew how to fix it (there was some extra characters after the php closing tag), and so I fixed it, and they had me do more work. Another client called me when I was looking for a job and had my resume on a job board. Another client was through networking. Another client was through a fellow freelancer who was overworked.

To get clients there are two main paths: 1. Hang out where clients hang out (networking events, business luncheons, etc), and talk to them about their problems. 2. Talk with other techies and see if they have work they can't or don't want to do.
