Are you a member of the Association of Illustrators? I guess that's first port of call. Also consider taking an entry in the Creative Handbook, I use it all the time at work, it's my bible!
However, both of the above aren't particularly 'proactive'. If you want to be commissioned by publishers of books / magazines etc etc then you could identify targets eg Penguin, call them to find out who is responsible for buying art and either send them a sample or and email with a link to your site (you might need a new illustration only site to avoid any confusion about what you are offering). Don't just stop at the big publishers of novels I have an illustrator friend who is always doing work for New Scientist magazine.
Helpful?
