5 Simple Ways to Make Money as a Developer

🧵 👇

1️⃣ Blogging

I spent the past 3 months doing Tech Writing as a side-gig (thread with how much 💰 I made coming up later this week).

You don't have to be a good writer to start.

You have to be good at understanding and explaining concepts.

2️⃣ Digital Products

Kind of like Online Courses, but way more accessible for me.

You can turn your knowledge into:

🔹an e-book
🔹a SaaS application
🔹 a template collection

and sell that on platforms like Gumroad.

3️⃣ Create Online Courses

Do you know a skill that's already monetizable and can help other people make money?

Create an Online Course and sell it on:

🔹Udemy
🔹Coursera
🔹Gumroad

4️⃣ Freelancing

A huge turn in my career was the point when I started freelancing.

It allowed me to experience a lot more than I could with a day job.

It boosted both my income and my knowledge, which is ideal.

5️⃣ Professional Development

I think the best way to make the most out of your skills is not to quit your day job.
Have a day job, but try adding things to this list to supplement your income.
