Creating a social site is not easy.

It's hard to attract jobs without candidates and even harder to attract candidates without having open jobs. Worst of all in your case is that you content(job post) has a short lifespan.

It's possible but don't do it unless you're passionate about it.

Try these for PT work. http://gun.io http://codementor.io http://meetup.com

Assuming you live in a major city, there are lots of Meetups hosted at co-working offices. These spaces are brilliant for someone like you looking for work because they are flush with bootstrapped companies who only need a little bit of work. They have a little bit of cash, motivated, and potentially right on the verge of launching/reaching scale.

Once you're in the office space, find out how to get invited to whatever messageboard they use for internal communication. You will use it to advertise your services. After you get signed up into their chat system, just walk around the meetup and start introducing yourself.

I'm a codementor mentor. I enjoy the work, but don't really get enough that I don't need to look for other work.

Also it's frustrating that many of the "mentees" are students who are desperate to turn in a homework assignment the very next day after they post for codementor.

I enjoy teaching the younguns, but please don't leave it until the very last minute.
