I found all my clients either on freelance sites (3) or on the forums (a majority of them on just 1 forum). There's no general rule, but forums seem to give you more personal contact and you can learn more about the person you are dealing with.

Have fun!

Doing great spec work on various contest forums (namepros, webmaster-talk, sitepoint) really helps drive traffic to your website. You'd be surprised at how many clients browse contest forums looking for designers or developers. If they like your work, they WILL follow your link and give you a second look.
Also, I've found that sites like cssremix and cssreboot are also popular resources for potential clients and submitting your site to those resources can really help.

I dont think you can only rely of the job offers from the net as a designer. all true designers work for another company, so as in my case.. they take the web challenge as a hobby.

Some interesting information here..
I have been interested in finding work online, most of the projects that I've done came from people that have seen my work and contacted me
