5 Awesome ways Developers Can Make Extra Money From Home
Web Developers these days wonder about not getting a job even after
mastering several programming languages. Developing a site is not the
only possible job you can do being an expert in a programming language.
Many people want to earn money from his/her own home instead of
visiting office regularly. There are several ways a developer can earn
extra money from home which I am going to describe them in this post.
1. Working as Freelancer
Clearly, freelancing is the best way to earn money from home
for developers. in free lancing, you are not bounded to a
particular company for long term basis and also you are not forced to
work when you are not interested.
In freelancing sites, you can fix a price for your own work and also
you have the choice to set the time you will be taking to complete the
project. You can work for international projects and make contact with
the clients all around the world. You can choose to work as a part time
freelancer giving rest of the time in other jobs or to work as full-time
freelancer where you will spend more time in freelancing and earn more
bucks. For developers, there are many wawesome freelancing platforms to
choose from some of them are Upwork and Toptal .
2.Blogging
Blogging is one of the best ways to earn money and it is not
restricted to developers. But, being a developer you can write various
blog posts on the programming language you are familiar with. Many
developers spend a lot of time answering the doubts of noobies and ou
can develop a very good platform with your blog. You can write tips,
tutorials, examples, tricks, etc and post in your blog which will be
seen by other people. Once your blog gets a good traffic, you’ll place
ads, you can also do affiliate marketing and increase your revenue. For
blogging purpose, you can choose blogger and wordpress .
3. Writing or selling E-Books
If you have a really good knowledge of any programming language,
writing ebook about that particular language will be an easy job for
you. Cover every part of the programming language in your eBook. Try to
make your book complete reference for a new learner, don’t put on wrong
codes or complicated language which makes it hard for readers. In case
you need format, you can see other eBooks and learn what to put on but
the content should be completely yours. You can publish and sell your
eBook on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, Smashwords,
Scribd Etc.
4. Creating Video Tutorials
As you are a developer, you can spend some time of yours and make
video tutorials on your favorite programming language. You can make
complete video tutorial series and upload them in different sites like Udemy, Udacity, Youtube etc. If
you caomplete your video series, you can choose from either uploading
the videos for free on Youtube or sell them on other websites. In one
hand, your knowledge of that language can be tested and increased and in
other hand you will earn extra money easily you can make money by monitizing your youtube channel with adsense for extra cash.
5. Making Plugins and Extension Development for other Websites
If you are a developer, you will have a good understanding on
various plugins & extensions and moreover you will be familiar with
developing those plugins and extensions. Developing plugins separately
is also one of the best professions you can involve being a dev. And
then you can sell your plugins and extensions in the way exactly similar
to theme. Sellwire, CodeCanyon, Pulley, FetchApp, etc can be the good
marketplaces for you to sell your plugins and extensions.
