For me, the best way is to keep doing FreeBSD consulting, and for instance
building dial on demand ppp boxes with good size squid caches and a web
server and mail server on them to serve as small office net connections.
These things sell like hot cakes. There cheap, they dont fail, and people
are stunned that FreeBSD is powering these boxes when 95 and NT cant even
stay up for 24 hours with a SINGLE user and yet these little dinky 486's
are serving the entire LAN.

Already been done, see www.persiankitty.com
Massive porn site (or so ive been told) that runs FreeBSD.
Talk to them about slapping a FreeBSD logo on the front.
