>message anyone and everyone who needs a react / node dev

I even had clients from fucking /biz/, the trick is to message fags who have an idea about a project, validate their idea (tell em it's genius etc) and ask em for money to build it

My high score is 10k euros in November for a 1 month bitcoin based remote job board project

Go get some books on negotiation (trumps is the best), asking for high prices gives the appearance that ur a big expert and offer big value
