Freelancers, where and how do you find clients?

And how's the whole freelancing thing working out?

realistically no one would tell you. Anyone answering this honestly is just increasing competition for themselves.

I expect more jokes than reasonable responses here. I'll start with one.

Start an onlyfans account.

Hire a marketing department ;P

@SidTheITGuy What's the joke? I'm on there and on chaturbate. Look up "ostream69"

I got some ideas but I never did them because I thankfully got ok from crypto

ideas:
- old co workers
- old bosses
- old companies
- go to new companies and bait and switch them during interview and tell them on contract only. sell it up. they only have to pay you per project. means you don't have to be paid when they don't have work or use for you. they'll love that

you can also specialize for a specific target audience and just service them. go to events or like go to their business and show off your great demo and show metrics of prior clients

you'll have to get good at sussing people out naturally. I found lots of people just drop off from the earth after contacting you even, but I heard that this was far far worse with another programmer in my country so it might be the country I'm in

not that I freelanced but I got PTSD from a job because they treated me like their personal life-slave and instead I contemplated suicide for a long time. it was my first job ever and my mom was unemployed my whole life and I had no dad so literally I'm just fucked in regards to whatever a "job" is supposed to be like. cuz if it's like that I rather be dead

I did explore freelancing as an idea though
def not gonna compete with the indians
