Let me give you a bit of advice. It's almost 2011, so honestly, I wouldn't worry about trying to be a freelancer anymore. Either get a 9-5 office job, or start a small software company offering an exceptional product that people want. Globalization has taken its effect, plus the recession, so not many people are going to contract out to an unknown developer at say $80/hour these days. Many are going for $15/hour Filipinos these days.
Don't look for clients in this fashion. Build a wanted product and small software company / site, push the product out, provide exceptional customer service, and build your customer base from there. If you can accomplish this, and do it well, you'll have more high-end clients than you can handle. It's an uphill battle to come in as a nobody, and say, "Hey, I'm the best, and I'm here! Give me work!".
You're best off to establish a company, product, and reputation. Otherwise, people will be expecting to pay 20% of what you're worth (if you're actually as good as you say you are).
