Reaching out to potential businesses should not merely take place on the internet. Networking groups can also be used to connect with employers. Many of these groups are specifically oriented toward young professionals, and will group together some of the most passionate and successful people in your respective city. Many are young CEOs interested in expanding their businesses, or are professionals working for companies who may need your services. For example, in my current town (Tallahassee, FL), one of the popular groups is the Network of Young Professionals (www.networkyp.org). I highly recommend dropping by a meeting held by your local group to check it all out and make some connections. Oh, and make sure to bring plenty of business cards. While the opportunities you may make there might not materialize immediately, I've heard of many instances of the relationships becoming very influential over time.
