You aught to change the "Other:" text to something like this :
"Other (this is *NOT* a search engine, you stupid idiot):"
To understand why, read the 'optional text answers' :

I would like to know how one finds extra programming work. Looking at the results of the survey so far, it's clear that most of the supplemental work comes from "Friends, colleagues or business / work contacts." Unfortunately, I don't have these sources to draw upon (while, I do have friends, they're not likely to have any programming work to throw my way).
Next in the survey results comes Code Project articles. I have written a fair number of those[^]. I'm very proud of my work here, but it has only resulted in one for cash job (I wrote a small dll in C that allowed a proprietary game engine to communicate with the low level Windows MIDI API).
Anyway, while I do feel I have good programming chops, I'm at a loss as to how to parlay these skills into extra cash. Maybe my skillset is off? Perhaps I should look at web programming?
Any thoughts?

No, I haven't done that. Basically, I'm just looking for some extra projects to do on the side to supplement my income. I'm not currently looking for a fulltime programming job.

Try rent a coder...they have some decent stuff sometimes. Also I like to write programs for my own use and them modify them to be a little more general and put them out as shareware so that ppl can use them for free, or they can kick you down a little something if they think its worth it.

I do accept unsoliceted requests for work
Heck, my day job is 9 to 5 and there are so many more hours in the day. I love programming in the wee hours because that is were my best thinking is anyway.
As a bonus you can be more selective with side projects. I usually only accept side projects that interest me. (or in one case from my alma matter for real cheap)

My first job is, obviously, University.
Anyway, I work from home for a company (something like 1 hour a day): I develop a (complex) web application. I found this "job" through a flyer distributed at University.
I also have a few websites/custom apps requests, sometimes. For example, for Aeptember I have to develop a website and an application (they are interconnected). I have been asked for this job by a friend of a friend.
I have also a couple of "personal" projects, but they proceed very slowly...

In line with why have a second job, one might get a part timer to supplement income. Like one posted already said "money is a side effect", but experienced gained is far better.
Getting out of debt is a nice side effect, too.

a) You don't get paid properly for your first job.
b) You don't know what to do with that strange empty time called "leisure".
c) Your supplemental job is fun. The money is only a nice side effect.

When I was an employee, I ended up getting pretty bored with the maintenance side of things, waiting for the next project (which could often be a year). Partly this was the nature of the companies I worked for--small, get a product out, recoup the money, see how the customers like it, provide tech support and minor feature upgrades, wait until the next big project comes down the pike. Very dull, and in the meantime, the rest of the world is moving into other areas. DOS to Windows. C to C++. C++ to C#. MFC to .NET. Things like that.
So, I would do side jobs either for myself (non-paying) to keep up, or better yet, small jobs that would get my feet wet with some other technology.
I really like diversity in technology. As a consultant, I'm more content, though there are times when contracts get pretty grunty too (which of course may be a sign--not necessarily though--that the project may be coming to a close soon).
As it is, there are still a gazillion things I don't know anything about.  But hey, that's what CP is for!

a)I could really use the extra money at the moment.
d)I started out back in the nineties as a web designer, and got into coding as I went along. These days half of my main job is administrative. I find doing web design as a side job to be a nice creative outlet.
Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.
