There is no one way to answer this....and really no easy way either. I think before I can really give any educated suggestions for you I would need to know more about your art, art training, and what exactly you are giving to the galleries.
First off if you do not have one....you need an artist statement. If you have one please post it here so we can see exactly what the galleries see. If you don't.....well start working on it.
I am not personally a gallery artist....for a variety of reasons....but I am in a circle of friends who are. I am going down to Chicago next weekend to see an opening for one of them.
Whichever road you take... being an artist is very (emotionally) difficult. I freelanced for a while but the market is flooded with freelancers. Galleries are hard to get into......a lot of stuff doesn't sell....and if it does.... the gallery takes a huge chunk of it.
Be prepared to hit some walls.
