Ask HN: How did you land your first projects as a solo engineer/consultant?
Summary
This Hacker News post features a software engineer who recently started a solo consultancy focused on SMB back-office improvements. It highlights the founder's target pains, the preference to avoid generic agency work, and asks for effective strategies to land the first real projects, including networking, content, cold outreach, partnerships, or subcontracting. It also offers a small incentive (free hours) to kick off initial projects.
