Where to find clients

• Reddit/c++ Who's Hiring C++ Devs. Most of the postings are for normal positions, but you may be lucky. This is the best collection of C++ job postings, globally, that I'm aware of.
• Upstack. Aims to recruit the top 1% of the freelance developers, and connect them with the best clients out there. High demand on Ruby developers last time i rtalked with them, but they have C++ projects as well.
• Stackoverflow remote positions. Not really freelancer positions by default, but some may be converted ☺
• Toptal. Aims to recruit the top 3% of the freelance developers, and connect them with the best clients out there.
