| recommended by 1 user | 2012 | 139 points by protoweek | freelance & consulting | original thread | | ||
Hello HN. I am a highly experienced developer who has recently taken to freelancing. I looked at several freelancing websites only to be outbid by outsourcing companies with ridiculous rates. Are there other avenues, forums or resources that would help me get work? Please do share any advice you've got, thanks a million. | ||

While you're specifically asking about finding your first few clients, this previous thread has some great overall advice for finding clients in general as a freelancer: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4585435
Also, we recently launched the beta of matchist (http://matchist.com) to help freelance developers like yourself find quality clients and get paid on time, every time.
