Network. Not virtually either, I did it all in person. A lot of my work comes in from personal connections, conferences, and social meet ups. I am selective about the work, as I love my full-time job, and I want the balance in my life (plus the extra money like yourself).

I started originally by reaching out to people starting a small business, and others from my (physical) social network reached out to me in turn. Put yourself out there.

Good point, but hard to pull off.

On one hand for me, personally (I suck at selling, myself included) and on another hand it's a bad time for that (just relocated to a new country, don't speak the language yet, left most of my 'network' behind).

You're making sense, I just fail to see a way to follow your advice right now.
