Best place for small remote gigs?

I'm doing solo dev, building and shipping several products, trying markets etc. I have some passive income here and there, but looking to up it a bit. I'll also visit SF for a while late June, so I can meet up to do in-person vibe check, discuss stuff and build my network

just wondering how are you guys earning on the side, I'm willing to go on the lower end of pay as I'm looking for fully remote async contract (b2b), low-intensity work (or at least not full 40h weeks). have 13y of exp as a generalist swe, started as a gamedev then expanded into devops, ai/ml, trading

What do you think of as “the lower end of pay”?

Fully remote, fully async, low intensity work is a global market, right? I’d be careful about taking the lower end of global pay.

Exactly, lower end of global pay is on fiverr and the competiton is people from low Income countries.

Its not a good thing to aim for

I doubt there is a singular answer other than to hussle. Try Upwork; Reddit; who's hiring; jobs sites with part time roles or "fractional" as they call it; exemployers and excolleagues; blogging; linked in; etc.

Isn't it "hustle"? But since it's a hassle to hustle it kinda makes sense too.

Half hustle half hassle yes!
