Try getting some clients in your area where you live first. If that doesn't work just post in forums like these...

I would say not as effective as say, IMing people. Although you are actually speaking to them, you can't explain it as easily as examples always help for both of you to understand.

Ok thanks.
When mailing people, what sort of things should I include?
I'm guessing.. a covering letter, brochure, business card?

Get your parent/guardian(s) to sign up for a paypal account, that way you can do business online.
