Recently I changed my strategy regarding my work, and decided to stop taking projects (while I can survive this way ;) ) and focus more on my sites/products. In the meanwhile I got some requests for small projects (eg. script modifications) which looks like a very good prospect while I am trying to finish my products and promote them enough to make a living from them.
The good thing is that when you get a small project, you work no more for 1 day and get enough money for a week maybe. But how do you find such clients?
Untill now I was working with full projects, which is a totally different thing, as the target group now is people who allready have sites, and in general they know what they want from them.
Do you have any idea, or do you know any good marketplace for things like that?

there are a lot of them, but for all of them the prices for projects are very low because there are people working for only 10 or 15 bucks an hour.
I get this kind of smaller jobs via my website, because they are using my scripts or just because they find me related to php.
You should have a profile on all freelancer sites, because there are also people looking for local programmers...(zend.com is good one btw)

I have never used a site of that kind before, and I don't have a clue which of them are cool :)
