Ask HN: Quick Ways To Make Money As a Web Dev

Same question here. (rant) I'm based in Australia and have found very difficult to land a full-time Job for an Entry level web developer. (adding I'm international, on a temporary working visa). freelance sites promote races to find the lower bidder and Job seeking boards are full of recruiters who usually ask for 5+ years of commercial experience in every known to man JavaScript framework + ASP.Net, PHP, SOAP, REST, LAMP environment and Cloud-based VPS what ever that means to the recruiter. (I feel relieved already) If any of you have read this far, my portfolio is on http://smaugh.net/ and I'm available for hire!

Pretty sure there are a bunch of start-ups out there with non-technical founders looking for web devs to build out down and dirty mvps. Can't imagine you have to look too hard.

Best way to quickly make money as a web dev is to be paid to write code :) you could start by making yourself contactable here (there's no email in your profile)

why did your startup fail?
