LinkedIn, various slack groups based on technology, reddit/r/forhire, CraigsList (if it is popular in your geography).

But especially LinkedIn. Connect with people and let people know you are available my making posts!

For Craigslist list, if it isn't popular in your area, you can use it to search larger cities as well.
reddit/r/forhire has incredibily low pay for freelance jobs (employment being different). 25-30$ per hour for development work is incredibly low
Sure, but this that is a function of what you can negotiate. There are solid gigs posted there. I see a lot of single-developers just looking for some help on their side hustle. That is interesting because you get paid to be in the passenger seat in someone’s entrepreneurial journey. Lots of learning beyond code.

I agree there might be better paid gigs elsewhere.

Oh i didn't negotiate, I was just looking around and was shocked.

I live in a costly place and that amount would be way too low to justify working, unfortunately.

I get that it could be interesting for learning purposes, but I prefer doing it for free and not being bound by a contract than being on a low pay
