This sounds a lot like gloating. I'm sure a lot of us would like to find consulting work but don't really have an inkling as to where to find it. It feels like more of a matter of knowledge / networking rather than how hard one tries.

I did C/C++ tutoring, and did freelance work on both OpenCV and Qt projects. I get offers from the people I tutored, being active on forums, multiple freelance networks, and having an active github.

It wasn't supposed to be gloating, it was more - it's not as hard as you think.
