First create a few tasks (suggest 3-5), describe them as much as possible, then identify what skills would it take to do these tasks, then reach out to you network with request, for example, “I have a task to build user registration API, do you know anyone with Django/Python experience who might be interest in taking this on.” IME, having been on both sides of similar situations, such “specific” approach works much better than “part time, inexpensive help” to take on tasks whenever I need. One shows you are proactive, prepared and in need, other shows you are just exploring, fishing to see if you find a resource, and don’t want to spend any time identifying needs until you have a resource committed already.
