Being an International student at University of Louisville, I need to earn $9k in a month else I am out of my courses. I tried all the assistantships but nothing fits me. Good side is I am an excellent web designer and developer, but I don't know how to get a high paying client. I tried calling few people(local businesses), bidding on freelancer site, coming up with business ideas, nothing seems to work for me.
I desperately need a job that can pay my tuition.
Thank you for going through this question.

$9K a month is very high pay for free lancers in any field.
Unless you have an excellent resume, you will not be able to land the really high paying clients. They have their pick of the top people, and will always choose free-lancers who are well known to the people already working at the firm.
So you may have to build up to that level by getting all of the smaller company jobs you can, and making yourself and your work known to everyone you know who is working for a major company or a start up with cash to burn.
You can start at your university, as a large proportion of graduate students and junior faculty members are starting up small firms and need web exposure. The clients are right at hand, and word of mouth will work to increase your client base. Many of these individuals may also have contacts at major firms and can help you network.
Finally, I would be prepared to do more than develop HTML. Start up people will also want to know how to get web exposure. If you can help with that as well as with designnig the site, you will be much more valuable to them.
