How do you find clients and stay in work?
About 75% of my work is local for the main reason is communication is easily done.
Most of the time I have people screw me and my precious time around when freelancing some one in another country, so I like to keep it local. What I tend to do is send out a bunch of proposals to companies in my area, you'd be suprised how many you hear back from.

Do your clients come to you? do you employ a business representative? do you cold call? do you send letters?
I have a lot of people in my area that do come to me. Not only do I like to keep it local, a lot of the clients do because of the communication issue. Nothing worse when you have a question and you client forgot to tell you hes going on vacation.
Don't expect to have a million clients off the bat, build your reputation up and sooner or later you'll be turning people down.
Offer them attention, be patient, and get 50% payment before you start working
