Use google maps to check local businesses in your area.
Click on their tabs and see what info they have (phone number, website, etc.).
If they have a website, check it out and see if you could do better—Can offer this as an improvement.
If they have no website, google it just to double check, sometimes those get missed. If they truly have no website, call them up and offer your services.

If you're calling, prepare a document with a canned intro / pitch you can just read from.

If you really want to make an impression I'd recommend going there in person. I know it sounds like boomer advice (I guess it kind of is) but going somewhere in person immediately makes you stand out.
Same principle as calling. Prepare notes / a pitch. Practice it. Doesn't need to be word for word, you just need the main beats. Whatever will allow you to give them this pitch but speak naturally.
Consider what questions they'll ask you and prepare answers for that.

This is a pretty common recommendation you see thrown around for "IT/Dev sidegigs", and it does work, especially the in person part. The main issue people run into though is the same issue a lot of "personal services" type gigs run into, and that is it takes a consistent amount of effort. Constantly and consistently marketing your services is a large part of the grind. If you want clients, you need to be reaching out to them as this isn't the type of thing that generates many leads off recommendations. From what I've seen, the biggest reason people stop isn't difficulty or a lack of work, but that they just get tired of having to find clients.

How DO they find clients?
 
If you have retro video games, You can flip that and sell them for a higher price.

Same thing with really old numismatics. People may give you as much as 100,000 dollars to buy your really old rare note.
 
have you tried starting an only fans? you can sell pictures of your dick and asshole to your friends and family
 
Jesus.

Was looking at upwork.... They expect you to subscribe for $20 a month just to be outbid by a dalit working for pennies.

Is it even worth it? Given that they do notice and accept your offer, fo people find reliable work on Upwork? $15 for applying to 5 jobs is rather excessive...

FWIW, remember that most gig-type jobs you'll be 1099 (contractor) which means you're liable for your entire tax burden. So take that into account when thinking about signing up for things like Upworks.

Also Mechanical Turk is not taking turkers anymore; I dropped off of doing it when I got a real job and my account got suspended. I requested to be reinstated but have not heard anything, and as I understand it, it won't be anytime in the near future lmao. Sad, because that's quick tax-free cash.

It's horrible out there for even just part-time work. I don't even look anymore. Too many fake job listings.

I am a filthy gambler
and made quite a bit from writing envelopes to social casinos. Do NOT write to Chumba Casino, they will ban you after you write too many entries (like they did me, said I was using automation to write lmao). You get $5 per card written. Pulsz is a good one, also $5 per card, but you will be waiting for months before they finally credit your 'lopes. I did this while doing a boring WFH job so I was rolling. You have to play the money through to take it out so go for either blackjack or go YOLO and bet $5 spins. Don't play at casinos like Modo.us because they are US based and you'll get a tax form. CrownCoins and Pulsz are my go-to casinos. Happy gambling!
