Thank you for the advice! This sounds like a great idea and I will definitelly give it a try. Also, thanks for remoteok link.
On a side note: Freelancing sites were my first plan and I created an account on Upwork but it seems like it's impossible to earn anything there. Every front-end job has at least 30 proposals, mostly from Indians and Eastern Europeans willing to work almost for free. And it's also a chicken and egg situation: you can't get a job with no positive feedback, but you also can't get rated without getting a job.
