elance, odesk, etc are fine, it's just that the signal to noise ratio is very bad. Filter through the projects until you find reasonable projects with reasonable budgets.
Post on the seeking freelancer thread. I posted on there for the first time this month and have received a few contacts but unfortunately took on a large job right after doing so, so I haven't been able to take advantage.
Put together a portfolio if you don't have one already.
Network. Go to local events if you can, developer meetups but also things like chamber of commerce meetings. Keep in touch with your clients. Eventually, the bulk of your work should come from your network.
- ajaxguy 13y ago+1 for things elance, odesk and pointing about the noise in them. HN Freelancer thread is great for this stuff, but I guess that works only when you have an established portfolio and handful of stuff done outside of your regular job. I did get some contacts from this thread, ultimately to zero leads. The possible way is to have good portfolio so these contacts can be turned to some leads.
