Do you guys know who would hire with these hours? I have zero preference about cargo/pax, or type of plane. I just wanna fly a decent amount of hours per month and of course get paid haha.
Online application is enough or knocking on their doors is the way to go.
Thanks for your help!.

Until you get 500 hrs, there aren't a lot of opportunities. Part 135 VFR mins require 500 hrs. to be PIC. There are some operators that use SICs in Caravans, but the pay will barely buy lunch. Get that 500 hrs and you'll get on flying a 207 somewhere. I did 5 yrs flying in AK and loved it.
February is when everybody starts posting job openings. Watch Craigslist too. Many post there in the transportation area.
Good luck.
