Replying to Getting into "freelancing"...

I have always enjoyed videography and was thinking that this summer it would be cool if i could score a few gigs to make a little cash. I'm not looking to have this be a part time job or anything now, but i'd be stoked to some experience (and cash) in the near future.

Do any of you guys who are already doing this have any tips for me?
anything is greatly appreciated, but i am most interested in tips on getting gigs as that is a completely new concept to me.

thanks!
