Well, I have been camped in a tent for 4.5 years. I openly self identify as "homeless" online, but it isn't a good way to get real respect from most people and Hacker News is a professional forum and a place some people manage to get work. (That link (above) is my website.)
On the first of the month here, they do a thing where you can post that you are a freelancer or an employer seeking a freelancer. That is coming up in a few days. You might check that out.
You should also look for gig work. By 2020, 40% of US workers are expected to be doing gig work of some kind. Regular jobs are becoming less common. I have been doing gig work and my income is trending up while on the street. I do freelance writing, part time and intermittently (due to health issues). That is gradually leading to better things for me.
Best.
- amagnasco 10y agoThat's incredible, I don't even know what to say. I'm looking at your website and it really is very useful, thanks for putting it up. I'll spread the word around about it when I get to the city. I've done some grant-writing work on Upwork, and I'm trying to get into other writing opportunities for gigs. Is there anywhere you recommend for that, in particular that doesn't scam people? I will definitively come back Aug 1st and check out that thread, thanks. That reddit definitively is interesting... I remember when Amazon started Mturk and all of a sudden, the gig economy hit the internet. Visionary, really.
