I have two pieces of advice:

- Avoid middlemen to the extent possible. Some (not Upwork) can be a good place to fill some hours, but in general they're not a sustainable source of good clients

- Freelancing in my experience was mostly about saying yes to many tech stack choices. I worked with a great number of technologies I never would've chosen for a personal project. I'm sure there are some people being paid to write Rust/Haskell on a freelance basis, but I doubt it's very common.

I've only experimented with Upwork (with mixed results), what are some of the better "middlemen" in your experience?
