Looking for side hustle tasks

[u/Kind_Yogurt_5921]

Hey everyone, I'm a Computer Science student trying to pick up small online side tasks (like helping people with AI workflows, script debugging, or data organization) to cover expenses while studying.

For those who started out taking on small tech tasks, where do you usually find people who need quick help without spending hours pitching on saturated gig sites? Any advice on finding casual, short-term client work would be appreciated!
