I believe that you want to be hired fast. But nowadays, it's not real. You have to spend a lot of hours to find a normal client.
I had experience with freelance platforms as Upwork, Freelancer, PeoplePerHours. Honestly, I spent there all nights before being hired on a normal project.
My wife hated these evenings.
What solutions do I use right now?
1) My Networking. It's the best place to find a full-time job or evenings jobs.
2) Linkedin. I have a lot of connections. I just write a post that I'm open for new jobs and I need some gigs, a lot of recruiters write me.
3) It's a new invention for me https://periodix.net/. I used it twice. And being hired almost for three days. I applied for a position, got an interview and got a job.
Good luck :)
