I mean, it depends.

If you join a bunch of the freelance marketplaces it's really not hard. I literally receive offers for jobs every day or so, most aren't that good, but probably once every month or two it is as described.

The problem is, I have no idea going in if a code review is going to be easy, or if the bugs are easy to fix. That's somewhat just luck.

What freelance marketplaces do you use? I'm always looking for people who are consistently good, but I'm wary of Elance/Upwork.

Hmm I've always heard the exact opposite. I haven't seen a freelance type of marketplace that isn't a huge race to the bottom. Whenever I've done consulting it's always been through contacts that I know; I've never found a way to actually make decent money through other means.

You do a few jobs on the cheapish, and quite often they will recommend you. Like I said, most of my jobs are through people finding me through various other projects. Contacts, like you said.
