I'd like to add that marketing is key. But it doesn't have to be the hard sell. I've found that keeping yourself 'visible' by social media, email and simply talking to people keeps you in their frame. So when they have a job that needs doing you'll get contacted. Also don't be afraid to say that you're too busy. A busy freelancer is a good freelancer and many clients I work with are prepared to wait because they know that they'll get good service and good results. Great points.
