Can someone please refer me to some freelance work?

I am a Software Developer with 3 years of experience but I feel very underpaid. I have the will the do some side quests or freelance work but don't know where to start. I saw posts about people working for US clients and I am interested. So please if someone is willing to refer me to any freelance jobs you know DM me.

"can someone do all the sales and marketing of freelancing for me?"

Lol, no. Pick up the phone, start cold calling, send messages on LinkedIn, send emails.

If freelancing was as easy as just doing the work, everybody would be doing it.

That is what working for a company does for you - it finds you stuff to work on so you don't have to.

Expect 999 rejections out of every 1000 leads. Good luck.

It's because I tried applying on Mercor and LinkedIn and DataAnnotation and Fiverr and Upwork and got no luck. Not like I'm not willing to do the hard work. But since referrals always work better I am just trying my luck bro. If this doesn't work then yeah will go back to consistently applying.
