Question Freelancing? The way ahead?

I've been trying to find permanent work in the onshore side of things by doing all of good advice in previous posts, including meeting face-to-face and continuously updating CVs etc, but so far, no luck. I'm at the "top of the list" when recruiting starts again, but that won't feed the family now.
I'm ex-mil, with 2100 hours twin turbine on BH, so low level, mountains, NVG etc and a current TR and IR on the AS355, but the only people seeming to get work are the freelancers. I do have a lack of corporate experience, unless you can count VIPTAX around several theatres!
How easy is it to become a freelancer, since that seems the only option open to me at the moment?
