elance.com rentacoder.com Find projects you want to bid on, and bid on them. The fact that you have commercial software in the market is a huge win for your bid. The people that will low bid the same projects you bid on will not have that experience.
In my experience with outsourcers, I've found that the further their culture is from the US, the more difficult it is to get what I want versus what I specify. People far away from the US culture give me exactly what I ask for, which frequently does not do what I need because I could not specify every last detail. People closer to the US culture come back with "I don't think you want it to do that, I think you want this, and here's why" kinds of responses that help get the end result to what I wanted versus what I asked for. If you were bidding a project for me, I'd give you bonus points for being able to give me a reg code to your existing software so that I could see your work. (confirms you do good work, confirms you ship product.) I'd give you bonus points for finding holes or flaws in my spec (confirms you really do know the problem space). Explain your situation that you are taking on just one project to tide you over during this period of low sales. Emphasize your existing software business. You are a limited availability commodity and someone who wants to make sure their project is successful is going to consider your fees very reasonable IF they know they will end up with shippable software.
