The trick for me is just to be willing/able to work for Bangalore wages, go on odesk or whatever and find gigs that have actual specifications (they are relatively rare but there are enough if you keep paging through). Find one that you can get a good start on in a day or two and just do as much of it as you can before you have to move on. Then send them a link to the prototype you started. Usually after doing that a few times someone is smart enough to take advantage of my cheap labor.

Once I did something similar with a prototype, but it was on reddit instead of odesk, and turned into a great high-paying gig.

Of course, it would be better if you networked.
