Yeah, we have in demand skills but so do a lot of other people (espeicslly on a world wide scale). When everyone has “python developer” or “javascript developer” in their tag line, how do you stand out?

Network.
Get involved in communities in your chosen programming language and get to know people in the community. Added bonus if you contribute with open source libraries / packages to help other developers.
Eventually you’ll hear of others who are doing freelance and more than likely than not one of them will have too much work for them to do and they’ll need to bring in more people to help out and this will be your opportunity.
This is what happened with me in the Flutter community.
Thanks! That’s definitely a smooth way to get into freelance
