Post-Production : Constructive networking as a Editor by Pierré Steven Buys

Im Interested in Constructive networking as a Editor, even if it means editing something at a reduced rate or helping someone, I can talk. Im an extremely committed individual who wants to start the ground work of getting set up as a very connected professional remote editor here in South africa. People who beg for work are seen as very lazy - I have a lot of work from permanent and freelance sources already. I just want more and want to be exposed to more people and work in post production. Anybody experienced with staffmeup.com and other sources?
