I have been doing a similar kind of job. I really recommend this group for finding contracts: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/data-vis-jobs https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/data-vis-jobs The easy part is: - if you have a few projects, it is easy to show that you are competent and for them to decide if it's style they want (I was luring with this one: http://p.migdal.pl/tagoverflow/ http://p.migdal.pl/tagoverflow/ and a few other things on my GitHub page), - people are happy as they receive something visual (appeal of a good project is obvious) and, often, cooler that they expected. The bad part is that many projects were short - 1-2 days of work. Even if charged at a high rate, still a lot of time is spent on switching before projects, communication, etc. ...and some links for learning: http://p.migdal.pl/2016/02/09/d3js-icm-kfnrd.html http://p.migdal.pl/2016/02/09/d3js-icm-kfnrd.html
