Well same here, I built a mere 1500 honest hours in ten years of trying. You just keep looking for skydiver pilot, CFI, aerial surveys, jobs like that. I did all those jobs. A lot of people find a steady full time job instructing or pipeline inspection or what have you, and knock it out in a few years. If you find one of these jobs, make sure you are getting the quantities of flight time you need to fulfill ATP or Part 135 requirements, a ton of daytime local vfr is not enough. If you have bills babies and loans, flying full time might not be feasible for you since these entry level jobs pay nothing and you are paid in flight time rather than money. But keep going, you'll get there.
