Regarding freelancer marketplaces if you think that those favor experienced/cheap freelancers you are a bit wrong, based on your skills I suggest you to brand yourself as a javascript/node expert, don't hesitate to ask more money than other people ( my bids was almost all the time the most expensive in the list ) and target clients that are looking for more than a very cheap freelancer , and there are some advantages to that strategy :
- your high bid give you a boost of trust in the eyes of the client
- your future client will respect you more ( it's psychology , if you pay more for a thing, you will valuate it more )
- you will want to work with people that have this mentality
To make sure that this will work for you, try to post some jobs in your field, study the competition and make sure that your bids ( proposals ) looks much better and you are really doing a good job compared with them .
