I visited an outsourcing platform and found that there were several startup founders among the registered people. When it comes to making money, face is often nothing. If you think you still have to save face, that’s because life has not cornered you.
As a result of the epidemic, many start-up companies face difficulties, and a large number of Internet workers face the risk of losing their jobs and being unable to find another job for a long time.
So what can middle-aged programmers do early enough to avoid being chosen?
Here are a few common ways that programmers make money, most of which become side jobs for many programmers.
1. Technical consultation/training.
It has high requirements on the background of programmers, and it is better to have experience in large factories and large-scale projects. However, there is a serious difference in income, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands, which requires good resource accumulation.
2. Publish a book.
Many technical friends around have book publishing experience, but the sales volume of domestic technical books can exceed 1 million in fact, so there are not many people who make money through book publishing, and it is very difficult to write a technical book that can penetrate the time.
Over the years, I’ve been approached by publishers to publish books, but I’ve turned them down. I just don’t have the time… Yes, publishing a book can be very time consuming!
3. Write blog contributions.
Must be a lot of good writing ability programmers have contributed experience, more show such as Good English, translation of foreign technical articles, but the translator level requirements are relatively high.
Still others are contributed to some big technology platforms or media, earn traffic share or article pricing, a variety of ways, where there is traffic, there is space for content producers.
4. Institutional lecturers.
In recent years, many technical training institutions have emerged, recruiting lecturers in various technical directions, or platforms invite these people to pay for knowledge.
This is very suitable for middle-aged programmers, have a certain amount of work experience, sharing more is a good thing, accumulation of industry influence at the same time can also have a little income.
5. Outsourcing
Many outsourcing single platform, here is not a separate list, before also said, we are also more familiar with.
However, outsourcing can also be divided into two ways: platform and personal resources. It is generally more profitable to do some outsourcing projects for other companies through personal resources than receiving orders on the platform. However, the advantage of the platform is that it is more secure and there are too many uncontrollable factors for individuals to receive orders.
