Ask HN: How do you find part time work?

I have a project that I’m working on turning into a small business. I’ve done some part-time work (retainers and project-based) over the past year and it’s gone well. It’s relatively high pay for part-time work, leaving me time and flexibility to work on my own project.

The thing, I haven’t really put much work into finding this kind of work. I’ve had a few opportunities land in my lap pretty nicely. Now, I need to seek out more work like this. I have ideas, but I’m curious to see how others are finding part-time work. Ideally, I would get 10-15/hr a week retainers, but project-based work is ok too. The key is that I can keep getting the work with consistency.

My corporate career was a cross between engineering and product management. I truly believe my best utility is the cross-over of the two. I’d be happy to do part-time leadership for small teams, take on independent projects, do things like build and maintain small apps/integrations, etc.

So:

1) How are you finding part-time work?

2) How do you sell yourself if you’re more of a generalist like me?
