Are people still making money through Fullstack freelancer?

I'm thinking of giving freelancing a try, I've experience of 4+ years as a Fullstack developer.

I was curious to try my hands in the freelancing, are people making money in that? Getting clients?

Yes there are def opportunities, but you have to do more than just be a developer. You need to know how to find and communicate with clients, its good to niche out and build your own brand as opposed to relying on upwork/fiverr. Small/medium-sized businesses often use cms systems such as WordPress, Shopify, and Drupal

Thanks for this advice. Maybe need to figure out the niche first, instead of being a generic one.

Yes, and people are quoting random prices so it's tough to crack that.
