I personally don't freelance any more, but rather have many, many websites which make money. Most of these websites could only be created because of my expertise in programming. Such as grouping projects together under a single library, and that library then holds all the responsibility for acquiring data, and distributing it to the individual websites.

Perhaps the best place to pick up PHP jobs would be Sitepoint. I used to pick up quite a few PHP jobs there. I think you're more than capable of freelancing now!
