Ask HN: Ideas on making money?

1 pointsby cookerwareover 11 years ago
So my last freelancer job ended up with me working for free. I put up some contact forms on my freelance website to get clients but don&#x27;t know where to advertise my services, and don&#x27;t have any money to do so.<p>I go on craigslist but my area doesn&#x27;t seem to have a whole lot of jobs or contract jobs.<p>Job interviews I went to for software were hiring seniors only. I&#x27;m at junior&#x2F;intermediate level.<p>Any ideas? I&#x27;ve been trying to make money for the past few months and coming up dry again and again and I&#x27;m losing all hope.

You need a website if you don&#x27;t have one already... If you have one, set it on your profile, &#x27;cause this message on HN could have been a good &quot;ad&quot; for your talent :-)

&gt; I go on craigslist but my area doesn&#x27;t seem to have a whole lot of jobs or contract jobs.<p>Some advice that should be obvious -- move to where the jobs are.

Try finding something online, i.e. odesk.com, elance.com, etc.
