What are the best sites for finding consulting gigs?

I am a programmer looking for programming consulting gigs to support myself while I develop my product.

I tried Craigslist's gig section but many of the posts there are of poor quality or irrelevant. What are the best sources online (or offline) for find part-time consulting gigs?


  1. 1

    You could try indietask.com - freelance gigs for makers.

  2. 1

    These aren't software consulting specific but there are a lot of programming jobs on these sites.

    weworkremotely.com

    remoteok.io

    remoteyear.com

    outsourcely.com/remoteworker

    jobspresso.co

    workingnomads.co/jobs

    skipthedrive.com

    Hi Yiman,

    Maybe you could give Toptal (there's a process to get in) or Gigster a try.

    Good luck!

    Here are a few suggestions:

    • Facebook groups

    • Reddit

    • Cold emails (probably low ROI)

    Of course you have the usual Upwork, etc., but you will be spending an enormous amount of time trying to get the client vs actually working.

    You can also email some agencies to see if they have overflow work to pass onto you.
