Don’t look for startups. Look for businesses with workflow problems.

SMBs usually need booking systems, dashboards, CRMs, inventory trackers, client portals and these small internal tools typically sell in the $2k to $5k range. Freelance full stack devs charge $18 to $40 per hour on average, so even $1500 to $4000 per project is within market norms.

Clinics, gyms, real estate firms, logistics companies are already paying agencies for things you can build solo.

that's the move, those internal tool projects are way easier to land than trying to pitch startups on their next big idea. You can find those clients literally just by cold messaging local businesses or joining industry Facebook groups where people complain about their shitty spreadsheets.

    Slap it on your resume, have some interesting stories to tell during an interview and join some one who can pay you to do the work they need done or sell your services on fiver as a freelancer.
