I've done part time contract gigs on nights and weekends over the years. Latest rate was $95 / hr, did ~15 hrs / week. I don't really have too much advice since I got lucky and found some great people to work with who provided a chill stream of work when I needed it. But what I did was: - Contact a lot of small tech companies who had open roles - Make a pitch that I could help them out part time on a trial basis - When I got a chance, I made sure to exceed expectations by delivering good work with excellent communication (this led to them giving me more work) I did try out the Upwork route and really didn't like the kinds of jobs or the level of competition. But now that I have kids I think that time for contracting is behind me -- I tried doing ~15 hrs a week this year and it was just too much for the family. Fortunately I was able to leverage those contract contacts to get a decent primary job in fintech.
