It's largely a matter of luck. What works for one role-play won't necessarily work for somebody else - which in turn ends up making threads like this slightly controversial. My advice - which is best taken with a pinch of salt - is to throw yourself out there and be reasonably aggressive in terms of finding role-play.
You'll struggle to find it from time to time. Some people may even let you down or brush you aside - but don't let that put you off. Once you succeed at carving a successful niche for yourself you can focus on gradually building up a reliable network of contacts to work with.
Don't just throw yourself at random events either - in my experience a lot of them are open to the public but end up revolving around the creator's inner circle or are far too bloated with participants to leave much of a lasting impression with one's character.
