I’m considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I’m not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.

What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.

Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I’ve heard that they’re a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.

    What industry do you work in? I would focus on that. The truth is that programing is somewhat of a commodity, and a lot of your value is going to come from industry knowledge.
