In addition to my full-time job, I write articles for a few different
publications. I recommend this as a strategy for you for a few reasons:

1\. Getting your name out there can lead to more contracts or better jobs

2\. Its a great way to develop your skills in areas tangential to your
expertise

3\. There are lots of great publications in Europe, Smashing Magazine comes to
mind.

4\. Based on your paragraph above, your written English is more than
sufficient for technical writing.

Note that the per-article pay is not great (using Smashing Magazine again as
an example, they pay 200 USD per article), but I think writing is a great way
to earn a little extra cash right now while building a portfolio that can get
you better opportunities.

The easiest way to save money is by cutting expenses. Take a really good look
at what you spend on what. Cheaper mobile abo, cheaper internet abo at home,
do you need Netflix, Spotify premium. Cook more, less take out food. Things
add up pretty quickly.

Cold email companies with old websites, send them 1-2 themes you think would
match their brand. I did that years ago, and on average on ten emails, I would
get a customer.
