Suzie, if you're anywhere near a large city, consider shopping there. Also, consider shopping in a wider area. I habitually shop 65 miles out from my house, and sometimes 125 miles out depending on what I can find.
Most of my work is done more than 30 miles from home. I consistently work 65 miles out, and sometimes 125 miles depending on what I can put together. You will have to put together several shops to make this work, and often that will involve jobs from two or more companies done the same day.
Keep signing up. You can't have too many contacts. These companies don't hire strangers.
