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.

    Bullshit. Fake it till you make it. Your new clients don’t know how many current ones you have, regardless of the network you’ve built (mostly).

    In business, the cardinal rule is if you want business, look like you don’t need it.
