It's difficult to find work as a coder. Sometimes you might not have the necessary experience for the position, or the pay offer might not be what you were hoping for.
That doesn't imply we can't still profit from code, though. While you look for your ideal employment, there are a number of trustworthy possibilities that can help you make money (and can even become your main income).
Here are a few ways I used coding to earn money. I've tried each one, so I can also discuss the benefits, drawbacks, and possible earnings based on my personal experience.
1. Freelancing
The lives of freelancers are made easier by websites like Fiverr and Upwork. We no longer need to actively seek out clients because they approach us via these sites. Obviously, both websites will receive a portion of the cost for each service we provide, but it is still worthwhile.
I've used Fiverr both as a buyer and a seller, and I believe that if you already have some clients, it's an excellent alternative because you won't have to start from blank and will have someone to guide you. On Fiverr, positive ratings and reviews draw in new customers.
You only need to register an account on Fiverr to begin providing a service (aka gigs). From web development to web scraping, you can establish as many gigs as you like, but I suggest you start in a narrow sector.
For instance, there are already a lot of tasks on Fiverr for web development, therefore it can be difficult for you to attract clients in that market because of the high level of competition. However, your chances of landing a customer will rise if you specialize in a small area of web development.
pros: You don't need to aggressively seek clients.
Cons: You need to pick your specialty carefully because there is already too much competition.
Potential Earning: You have the option of setting the price. Gigs for some persons start at $20 while those for others at $100.
2. Making online courses
Selling online courses is incredibly lucrative, but because there are so many available, only a select few captures a sizable share of the market.
Once more, you must locate a niche with limited rivalry. If a field doesn't have many best-selling books, it generally is worthwhile.
You should also look into the advantages and disadvantages of different online courses. How? Just have a look at the course's feedback section. For instance, on Udemy, each course's "students feedback" area receives a large number of both favorable and negative comments. When creating your own course, try to read a few of them and keep their advice in mind.
Benefits: Taking online classes can help you develop a passive income.
Cons: Some industries are overpopulated, making it difficult to offer courses.
Potential earnings: After launching my first course, I began to earn more than $890 a month.
3. Making video instructional exercises (without showing your face)
Everybody realizes that individuals bring in cash on YouTube, yet a couple of realize that you don't have to have numerous endorsers (or show your face) to bring in a fair measure of cash.
Indeed, YouTube recordings bring in cash through advertisements, yet truly, this isn't the main way (or the most productive method for making) cash on YouTube. You can likewise bring in cash with associate connections and supported content.
In the event that your channel has a little, yet important specialty like innovation or man-made consciousness, organizations could reach you to support one of your recordings or to make a devoted video about their foundation. The installment for a solitary video will in general be more than for different choices recorded in this article.
Masters: You get compensated for making recordings, however you assemble your own image.
Cons: Growing on YouTube may be slow.
Possible pay: If it's supported substance, it relies upon the client's spending plan and how you arrange. On the off chance that it's promotions, relies upon the Revenue Per Mille, which is a metric that addresses how much cash you've procured per 1,000 video sees. Programming channels have a RMP above $3.
4. Tutoring
You can bring in cash by showing others what you know either in your city or on the web.
There are many school and college understudies who need to figure out how to code for a test, task, or schoolwork. Here's the point at which you can utilize your abilities to educate others. The greatest aspect of this is that you advance two times by instructing.
Likewise, there are a few stages that permit you to interface with understudies to show them stuff live. One of them is Lighthall. This is a live-streaming stage that empowers educators to offer live intelligent classes at scale. It's in beta mode yet there should be different stages out there with similar usefulness.
pros: It's not quite so confounded as making content or working for clients.
Cons: You could get exhausted of showing exactly the same things again and again.
Likely pay: You can set your time-based compensation.
5. Add-on: hackathon
Although I've never placed first in a hackathon, this is a different method to earn money while using your coding expertise.
Of course, only a very small percentage of participants in hackathons would be paid, but if you're good at what you do, you should definitely give it a shot.
