First 90 days as an agent

I am a fairly new agent and am struggling to find sellers. I am the only agent at my brokerage so the marketing is obviously not as heavy as bigger brokerages. So far I have dealt with nothing but buyers and a lot of tire kickers. I know this is a long shot but what are some strategies everyone uses to find leads?

At a bigger brokerage all you really get is bigger institutional pressure to "go out and generate leads".  I don't have the contact network a brokerage typically expects an agent to have coming into the business, so my plan is to get a day job, save up some money for advertising, and then rather than personally deal with the leads that come in through the advertising, will refer all of them out and just collect referral fees.
