There is no good freelancing websites. Really, the only way to go about it is to market yourself to local businesses and companies. Freelancing is a business and you must market yourself.

>>10462 Adding to, >>10469 Start small if you get tired working in a corporate setting, and assuming you've made a number of good contacts, those contacts of yours will start referring you for any programming jobs whatsoever.

Can we all agree starting as a freelancer without any experiences in a company is suicidal?

>>10462 https://www.sevendays.co/ Really neat concept. I don't know how well it works from personal experience, but I've heard good things from others.

>>11000 I mean, it depends really. Giving John's Gun Shop a new static site that doesn't look like a GEO cities site is just fine. But yeah, working on soykaf that isn't a static site is a good way to never want to do it again.

>>11000 Depends on the area you want to start in. Webdev is actually possible. On the other hand everyone does so you have quite the competition.
