Comment on Ask HN: What advice do you have for a student wanting to freelance?

Comments

Ask around and see if any of the professors who aren't affiliated with Computer Science are looking for some help. I'm working on a site for a Psychology professor who didn't want to code the entire thing himself. He was even able to get a grant to help pay for my and my colleague's work.

This strategy worked for me, I ended up doing some cool stuff for a professor whose work focuses on pompeii.

How would you recommend I approach my professors? Should I send an email or show up to their office?

Show up.
