Anyone here making side cash doing small web dev gigs?

Hey folks,
Just wondering if anyone here is making some beermoney through small web development gigs?

I'm a full-stack dev (mostly MERN + Next.js + Figma for UI) and I’ve been trying to see if there’s a decent way to pick up quick freelance tasks — like landing pages, small business sites, or even bug fixes — in my spare time. Not looking to go full freelance (yet), just trying to monetize a few hours a week.

I’ve checked out Fiverr, Upwork, and a few Discord servers, but competition is wild unless you’ve got tons of reviews. Curious if anyone here has had luck finding clients or small gigs through lesser-known platforms, or even Reddit DMs (though I know we’re told to ignore those lol).

If you’ve had success doing dev work on the side, where did you start? Would love to hear your approach.
