1. Have impressive branding ex website, business cards, etc
2. To build clientele, don't be strict on pricing, you don't have to completely give in, but it will help to be considerate of your client's budget.
3. Networking should be very important to you, and you should treat it like a second job. Give business cards out like crazy.
4. Look at local companies websites and send them emails or call offering an opportunity to improve.

I think it would be great to set up a site with your portfolio, to show off.
