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
Fully remote, fully async, low intensity work is a global market, right? I’d be careful about taking the lower end of global pay.
Its not a good thing to aim for
There is no easy button for good part time work.
Because why wouldn’t a business prefer someone who does what they need as a primary commitment?
From your client’s perspective, your schedule is their risk. So trust matters and a more committed contractor looks lower risk than a “hobbyist” who might abandon contracting for regular employment.
If you want clients you need extreme luck or the hard work of sales. Good luck.
