Hmmm, maybe get a lawyer and set up some maint contracts. Will you specialize in SW or FW or both. Find out what the others do and do it better, add extra perqs, be available more often. I imagine most folks have a full time or part time job and only can work with their customers on weekends (at least that what my friends do). Talk to customers in your LFS or see if you can set up something with your LFS to at least get you started...
