Pretty nice niche. How did you get started and acquire a customer?

I started using GAS at my day job to make a lot of my work easier. Thought it was fun and answered a few questions on /r/GoogleAppsScript/.

Got a PM from a guy in my city who saw my posts. He asked if I could help on a project he had. He's ended up giving me steady work for the past couple of years. The money's nice but it's a really good project and I'm more proud that it helps him run his business and that it makes life a lot easier for hundreds of people every day.

Did a few other small things for other people but all through referral from friends. I haven't really ever actively looked for work. Between day job, hobbies, etc. I don't want to take on a lot.
