The way for programmers to make money from a sideline business and increase their monthly income by 20K

For many programmers, they are not satisfied with the benefits of the work itself, but want to explore more ways to make money and marketing outside of work.

The most enviable of them are actually independent developers who have freelance jobs:

Back up the computer, work from anywhere, take vacations, travel, work, and have fun.

I believe this is the life most developers aspire to.

In fact, there are still many ways for programmers to do side jobs on the Internet.And it's easier too.Here are a few of the ways that I have experienced.

Public Account

Shortly after the official account came out, I applied to open it, but the real operation started only this year.So how does the public account make money?

First, you can make money from advertising.This should be the most important way to make money for the official account. If you have enough fans and stable reading volume, many advertisers will naturally come to you.For technical-related public accounts, the quality of fans is relatively high, and they are basically placed according to 1 yuan per reading amount, of course, some will be higher.

If you have a stable reading volume of 2k a day, receive 5 advertisements a month, and achieve a monthly income of 1w, it is relatively simple and relatively considerable.

Actually, you can accept tips to make money. All you need to do is write some original articles and turn on the praise feature.If your article is useful to readers, they may give you a reward.But to be honest, this income is quite small, basically negligible.If you want to get rich on this, it's basically impossible.

Third, you can make money by opening traffic masters.After you activate the traffic master, you can insert the corresponding advertising space in the article, and there will be an advertising card at the bottom of the fixed article.When someone clicks, there is a certain income.The number of clicks in this section is also relatively small. The public account with 2k readings a day is a daily income of 10 yuan.

Outsourcing

Outsourcing is relatively common, and it is also a way that many programmers can easily access.Outsourcing basically means that you need to contract the entire project, from product design to project development, to the final test launch, you need to be responsible for the entire process.

According to a project, although in terms of amount, there may be tens of thousands of income.But there are a lot of pitfalls in it, and inexperienced developers can easily screw things up and end up in a thankless situation.And a project requires a lot of communication, especially involving interface and business, and it takes a lot of time to follow a project.

I personally think that it is more cost-effective to spend these time studying, improving work ability and raising wages.

Products

Some people are born with ideas and have enough ability to try them out.Such people, we call them indie developers.

The products mentioned here can be: desktop software, apps, small programs, small games, plug-ins, and some web-side tools.

There are many ways to monetize Internet products.You can receive advertisements, such as opening a traffic master in a small program, especially the income of incentive advertising is relatively objective.

In addition, you can also charge fees through products, which can be charged monthly, by membership, etc.If your group is relatively large, this income is still relatively considerable.And you only need to upgrade, iterate, and maintain regularly, and usually there is basically no workload.

Of course, many people will ask, do not know what products are better.In fact, there is a relatively simple and crude way, which is to develop what is currently popular.For example, short videos are more popular now, and corresponding tools can be developed for short videos.Or it is also a good way to study the shortcomings of some of the widely used software on the market and make improvements to solve some pain points.

Community

If you usually pay attention, you can basically see it in many public accounts, everyone is promoting their own community.What does this mean, that this is very profitable.Now that knowledge is paid for, it has become more and more mature, and everyone is happy to pay.

Being a community Many people feel that they are not good enough to do it.In fact, this is not the case. Everyone has their own professional direction. As long as you keep summarizing and precipitation, you can have an advantage over others in some aspects.For example, you can specialize in a certain framework or an open source product.

Last

There are still many ways for programmers to make money, and as long as you do one well, you can basically have a considerable income.It will be more difficult in the early stage, and the income will be relatively small, so it will be good to get through this period of time.In addition don't covet too much, choose one method first, focus on doing one well, and then expand other methods.
