If you want to get hired by a traditional company, you need to get into a stable position with a fixed address. If that's not possible right now, you can try doing project-based work on Upwork or similar services. It's quick to get started. It might be a great way to bring in some money immediately and build up a portfolio without the commitment of a full-time role and with a lot of flexibility. You might be able to do some quick 1-day projects and get some quick success going.

If that isn't possible, do whatever you can to build some stability in your life and then worry about the tech work after that. It's a lot easier to focus on software projects when the core parts of your life are stable. Don't feel bad about not being able to accomplish software projects if you have bigger, more immediate life needs to work on first. Wishing you the best!

i got a few gigs and i have an upwork and fiverr profile. but ive only gotten 1 in 5 months on both platforms and that was my uncle. I only really use fiverr because the connects are too expensive. i thought i would get more, but i guess my gig isnt appealing enough.
