Comment on Ask HN: Without Upwork, what's the best way to find clients remotely?

Comments

Unfortunately the best way to find remote work is networking and word of mouth. You can try applying for jobs advertised as remote but it tend to be hard to get even to interview stage at those. I found that the good idea is to provide product for the customer before anyone even asks and offer service for implementing it. You can for example find some niche CMSes plugin markets and start porting some of the most popular Wordpress plugins to those CMSes. You will sell each installation of plugin for couple bucks and you will create exposure for yourself. I bet that some of the people will ask you for help setting up something and that's where you can earn some cash on doing remote contracting.
