I got my first freelance gig about six months ago. It was nice but made me hungry for more.

How do you get started in freelance? I work at the airplane giant and only normally talk with other engineers that work at the same place I do.

What techniques are good to get freelance / contract / moonlight gigs? Right now I am employing Craigslist but it is taking way too long and the return is too small.

contacts are very important in getting freelance work. If you have good contacts in your field then better for you. I am talking not only about real contacts. In fact virtual contacts (online contacts) are more beneficial.

If you dont have, then try to identify on social networking sites and follow them.
