Freelance flight instruction

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to go about being a freelance flight instructor. I'm currently working in the Vancouver area flying a mid-sized turboprop. The schedule allows some free time for a second job and, like most pilots, I could use the extra cash. My instructor rating is still valid and I have experience teaching PPL, CPL, multi and IFR. I'm just not sure where to advertise or to get the word out. Anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate any suggestions

Take an add out in COPA, get word out by word of mouth.

There's also that BC based aviation magazine; can't remember the name of it, put an ad in it.

Aviation News and Journal?

Go around and post a few flyers in the CZBB, CYPK, and CYNJ area might just get lucky

those training places may be looking for summer help with a few flights here and there
