Utilize everyone you know, give them x% commission if they refer you a client. From family, friends, exisiting clients, everyone can be your sales person that way. A combination of Facebook Ads with Offline print out vouchers can do wonders. (make an ad where when they click on the ad they get a print out voucher for locals and a digital coupon for out of town people...)
Till things run smoothly try freelance places, there is always need for talented web designers, even if there is fierce competition, many prefer a guy from the same country for many reasons...
good luck...
