This is my game plan. I freelance my rates have been edging up.. started at $30/hr now at $50. Hoping to get them to $90 by next year. I'm in the same boat sort my game plan is: 1. Schedule bots to post on reddit in all the forhire subreddits w/ alternating message templates. This gets me new leads and sometimes people find me from stuff I posted a few months ago. 2. Write 2-3 blog posts per week on medium, w/ a blurb about who I am and how to hire me. These should be VERY technical and thorough. Some of these posts have made me a could hundred $$ just from media partner program so it's definitely not wasted time. 3. Write a book. This is something I'm wanting to do when I get the time, haven't yet. Something targeting your target market (for me that's just SaaS entrepreneurs, so I might do a book on building and scaling a SaaS business eventually.) 4. Keep your resume and public github active and maintained. The better your online presence the more likely you are to get hired. 5. Eventually word of mouth should be your #1 source of new gigs if freelancing, so build the warm market as you can. I also feel stuck quite often, and I don't always meet my goals for self-marketing. But I have seen things grow a bit, and am hoping it continues. I think the key is just consistency. Some other things be sure to post to all the HN who's hiring/looking-for-work/freelancer-seeking-freelancer. If you want a remote gig there are plenty out there, and if you can land one with a big company like gitlab then name recognition could lift you up. Also places like toptal can get you decent pay but I'm reluctant to go through their lengthy on-boarding so haven't tested them myself.
