Expand Your Network
If you're not interested in venturing out on your own, you need to become comfortable reaching out to people you don't know.
Make a list of your friends, family, and acquaintances that work in your industry and offer your help. If you run out of people you know, reach out to unfamiliar companies too. If you do enough outreach, some of these people will engage with you. Soon, you can add a portfolio of clients that can speak to the value you're able to bring to them.
