Where does everyone get their leads for freelance work? I'm looking to land a couple projects to last me a few weeks until our startup finishes the fundraising process. I'm a fullstack dev as well as a UI/UX designer. Any leads would be awesome, thanks!

I started the platform Searchfreelancejobs.com to search projects over the top freelancing sites in one platform. It's helped me as a freelancer.

I personally never found the freelance sites all that useful. Not saying people haven't done well, but I never liked them because it always seemed like a race to the lowest cost over value.

For us it has been all about networking and meeting people as while we are building our own products we are paying the bills by also building other peoples. Of course, the advantage is that gives you a foot in the door so you can hopefully sell your own product either to them or someone they know too.

You say full stack dev, what technologies specifically?

Lately I've been doing mostly Rails, JS, CSS, CoffeeScript, and Ruby stuff. I do have experience w/ PHP though
