Most people find that consulting is like a ladder; you start at the bottom (or jump up as high as you can to grab a higher step) and as you build up experience, you'll be able to a) get better jobs w/better clients and b) charge more. Putting in time up front is pretty crucial. This isn't to say that you can't try to be uber-ballsy and charge a high rate without testimonials - you just might find it harder.<p>Personally, I get most of my consulting work through other people that I've worked with before. LinkedIn has been valuable to me, as has Twitter.<p>You can look to the plethora of freelancing sites; oDesk comes to mind as a well set up for both 'buyers' and 'sellers'.<p><a href="http://www.odesk.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.odesk.com</a>
