Ask HN: Best place to find web gigs?

4 pointsby whitepaintover 1 year ago
I am working full-time from home but I still have quite a lot of free time. I would say I am a pretty good web developer with lots of experience. What is the best place to find some web gigs? fiverr, upwork or ...?

&gt; fiverr, upwork<p>It&#x27;s not worth it, people from developing countries basically dominate on those platforms, so you have to go cheaper than them, especially if you have no reviews<p>On Fiverr it&#x27;s hard to get discovered<p>On Upwork you&#x27;d have to apply to tons of jobs, each application uses up one of the &quot;credits&quot;, when you run out you have to buy more for IRL money. You might use up all of the free ones and still not get a single job.

It&#x27;s a crapshoot. I really think there&#x27;s room for a new, smaller platform for software gigs that doesn&#x27;t become a race to the bottom.

The best place is with people you know.<p>The more people you know the more likely you are to find work.<p>Finding good clients is hard work, so anyone with good clients works hard to keep them.<p>Therefore, any easy way of finding gigs is mostly swimming in an ocean of not-good clients.<p>Good luck.

Currently? Nowhere. Besides social media. Create a huge audience around being a great developer and you will get an infinite stream of gigs. Going the normal route? Not working anymore, maybe it won&#x27;t ever again.
