Check out freelancer websites first off. If you don't have any contacts in a company you're going to find it tricky.
I'd suggest sending an email to some local small companies which explain who you are, what you can do, the benefits to them of having a website, the benefits to their customers and a link to your site as an example of what you can do.
Also, I couldn't resist...

Yo dawg, I heard you like websites so we went on a website to ask for a website.
Firstly, if you want any business I'd suggest:
1. Make your site validate properly.
2. Add your own content and not rip text from other peoples.
3. Don't advertise what you can't do, otherwise provide proof.
Sorry if I'm being harsh, but from a 5 minute search in google, I wouldn't use you.

ha ha. hate those xzibit pics but that made me laugh.
op: have you not got a load of family members that know friends who'd like a website? once you get this portfolio what do you plan to do with it? if you can't find free customers why would you find paying ones once you have a portfolio?
the best thing to do (imo) would be to look around on the internet to find sites you think could be improved, e.g. any of these, and then make a new site for them, but keep it to yourself and then put it on your portfolio. this will mean any ideas you have you can quickly do it so you get a nice big portfolio, and not have to keep making the client happy (which i hate, the client always ruins the site).
if it's good enough you can then contact the site owner and say you made this template for your own portfolio but thought they may be interested, for a small fee etc. if they say no oh well no loss but at least you have quickly been able to make a portfolio with no hassle
On every page in the footer you say xhtml and css is offered, yet none of you page are even xhtml 1.0 transitional valid and your css does not pass validation according w3c.
I aslo found it weird how the contact form doesn't even provide any feedback at all when:
- I pressed the send button
- pressed the send button when all fields were blank
- enetered garbage in fields you should really validating (like my email)
I'm also not a fan of how i need to scroll to submit the form.
Also, looks like you nicked some content from http://www.edg3.co.uk/services/
