> Hunt for the work.

Easier said than done. This part seems to be the hardest, from reading comments of other freelancers and contractors in several forums, not just HN.

Any concrete tips, "hacks" that work, that you can share in this context? The fact that software engineers are generally bad at marketing and selling themselves ("Imposter syndrome" much?) makes this part of contracting, freelancing that much harder.
