Work local

The Internet takes us everywhere including enabling us to find customers for what we write. But don't neglect your own backyard. Your local library or libraries may have a notice-board or place for pamphlets. Ask first of course but why not a notice or flyer advertising your services. You could help with family-history or ghost write a book about someone's life. You could even create a poem for someone's birthday. Make yourself known, Your next customer may live next door.
