A tax invoice and a client with bad payment morale has left me in a pinch to earn a couple thousand EUR ASAP. What can a experienced Freelance Developer do to make some money quick?<p>Usually I would get another project but the only projects I was offered would start next month with earliest payment EOM. Which is too late.<p>The last couple of years I worked as fullstack developer with Rails/Ruby, Spring/Java, Kubernetes and associated technologies for German companies. In the past I also worked with C# & PHP and probably could get back to speed.<p>I would be able to live and breathe a project for the next couple of weeks the issue is how to find such a project quickly? Do you guys know clever alternatives like writing technical articles for blogs or something?<p>Thanks for your time and effort!

Companies can add bounties to github issues, developers can earn money for solving them.
It’s been quite a long while but I used to make use of codementor.io for some quick jobs. My strategy was to keep rates low until I had enough ratings to slowly raise rates. You might look into that site. I don’t know if they’re setup for non-US though.
I am looking for someone to help me get started on a project (preferably in Rails or C#) that I have been procrastinating on. I don't see any way to contact you in your profile but you can email me if you are interested - my username @ gmail
You could also work with the Finanzamt to rearrange the payment schedule, giving you more time to sort things out. You can also reduce the size of your tax prepayments as needed.<p>You might also have access to ALG I if you were an employee for 12 of the last 30 months.
