    I found when I was trying this it was a third of my time looking, a third selling, a third actual paid work so you'd need to increase ur rate by three until you can get employees onboard.

      There's more to DevOps than just going to conferences. Do you know what it is and have you planned your experience, training and learning around it?

      I'm not sure that you're going to find much part-time remote work there (I wouldn't be interested in such contractors).

      You need to list out the benefits to potential clients of working the way you want (and be prepared to sell it), because they'll be as skeptical as I am.

          Nah i'm fine, for the type of work I was talking about the clients are too cheap to be able to afford me and usually go for the lowest price. You can probably make more money driving an Uber in your spare time.

          The ones that know what they want and can afford it are usually too demanding to be able to squeeze them alongside full time gig.

          In any case I'm not looking for more work, as I work to live, not live to work.

                  Quick search came up with...

                  Freelancer.com
                  Freelance.com
                  Upwork.com

                  No, thank you.

                  I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
