HN, but where you are contacted (for instance, monthly Seeking Freelancer post), not the other way around. Pretty much every source where the kind of jobs you're talking about are posted are a race to the bottom.
Because why wouldn’t a business prefer someone who does what they need as a primary commitment?
From your client’s perspective, your schedule is their risk. So trust matters and a more committed contractor looks lower risk than a “hobbyist” who might abandon contracting for regular employment.
If you want clients you need extreme luck or the hard work of sales. Good luck.
I doubt there is a singular answer other than to hussle. Try Upwork; Reddit; who's hiring; jobs sites with part time roles or "fractional" as they call it; exemployers and excolleagues; blogging; linked in; etc.

What do you think of as “the lower end of pay”?
Fully remote, fully async, low intensity work is a global market, right? I’d be careful about taking the lower end of global pay.
Exactly, lower end of global pay is on fiverr and the competiton is people from low Income countries.
Its not a good thing to aim for
Existing clients.
There is no easy button for good part time work.

Isn't it "hustle"? But since it's a hassle to hustle it kinda makes sense too.
Half hustle half hassle yes!
