What kind of Meetups would you recommend going to (Tech vs Career/Bussiness Networking)? I started doing this last week and have had few leads but nothing concrete yet

Business, industry-specific, etc.

You're looking for people with costly problems who need a developer to solve it. Meeting up with developers is pretty much the opposite of that.

Also: It can take a long time (months, years!) before the inflow of work has any sort of steadiness. And it will be steady only due to how good you are at turning back the bad contracts. Don't fret about a week.

Thanks for the great advice, already making changes to my Meetups schedule!
