First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I am a post-90s, engaged in Java development work. Like most program monkeys, I have worked overtime and stayed up all night, rushed the project deadline and tore the product.
The original intention of the sideline
I know it will be rewarding to dig into my major, but I really don’t have much interest in it. Have to work hard, follow the interest to go, more than a choice, more than a risk resistance ability.
Whatever your industry, you have some free time to do something other than your day job, not so much a side job as a psychological relief from the squeeze of life as an adult. If not so successful, at least always walking.
The first sign of immaturity is that you need a reward right away, or you can’t keep doing it.
Some people give up in a month, some give up in three months, some give up in six months, some give up in a year. Giving up is a habit.
The only solution is to get rich. Everyone is joking with this sentence, in fact, it is also a longing in the heart.
In large companies, which may be standardized management, everyone do like screws that piece is good, but over the long term, may be in a short period of time is difficult to set up a class skill tree, a small company in charge of things will be very miscellaneous, really into it, may also feel completely are pressed for time, every day is busy, But in fact, it seems to be doing “physical work”, just like a robot, where there is a need to rush, all kinds of things are possible to do, may eventually develop into a universal program master.
I believe many people are, in addition to hard work, there is a good income can bring a sideline. It’s not like starting a business, but it can increase your income and improve your quality of life. This may be the original intention of running a side business.
What side jobs have you had?
You’ve heard a lot about it, but I just want to record a few of the things I’ve done.
1. Take private jobs
You must have heard, pig eight quit, a product weike these weike website, most of these websites need to use the way to open a shop to enter, need a deposit and so on, if it is a personal developer, not recommended in this above the project, generally private work is best introduced by friends or acquaintances more reliable.
At that time, the client said that they wanted to build a short video platform similar to Douyin. Everyone could post videos, and there would be rewards, likes and comments, etc., from which the platform would take a cut.
When I first heard about these requirements, I didn’t feel intimidated. I thought, wow, this is a big order.
However, after communication, I found that I thought too much. In fact, what the customer wanted was ordinary video uploading and video playing, and there was no such demand as live broadcasting. Functions combed out are as follows:
The main interface is as follows:
Video uploading interface:
At that time, the quoted price was 8000, including PC terminal, mobile terminal, wechat pay, etc. Since the client was not in a hurry, there was no strict requirement on the construction period. It was mainly done after work and on weekends for a month, during which the demand was changed several times. However, the project was not big, and all aspects could be controlled.
Take private work, is not so easy, it is recommended to give priority to acquaintance introduction.
2, orders
In front of the private work, refers to the whole project, the connection here is only part of the function of a project, many projects will be crowdsourced order, each person can be connected to one or two modules, such as a management system user management, department management module. However, this is a collaborative development model, where developers are unfamiliar with each other and there are risks.
I’ve been through crowdsourcing for a small application before, and the team has run away and is still doing it every day
It is worth mentioning that Tencent’s TAPD project collaboration or do well, very good use.
3. Homework generation
The homework here refers to two kinds, one is the graduation project, the other is the homework of overseas students.
Compared to recommend the latter, mostly relatively simple, algorithm and data structure more experimental questions, of course, there are some Java, Python, MATLAB and other programming questions.
Why is it recommended to do homework for overseas students?
Because the homework is all in English, on the one hand, I can exercise my English reading ability, on the other hand, I can also exercise programming, and there are rewards. Kill three birds with one stone.
4. Platform submission
If you like to write and share, there are many platforms to contribute to, and most of them will be paid for.
Three platforms are recommended. One is InfoQ:
Another is the 51CTO blog
There is also a Gitchat, there is no stickers, you can go to understand.
4, MIUI theme design and production of mobile phone theme, set the price, upload to xiaomi theme store, someone will buy revenue, a while ago to see the xiaomi theme annual report, there are designers to do this annual income of millions, is also full of encouragement. Last picture (I sold this directly to MIUI store, so I paid by how much I did in a set)
0 cost product promotion
Previously written an article, how to be a profitable WeChat robot, is actually do taobao guest promotion, may be a lot of people don’t know what is taobao guest, explain, here is a lot of shops on taobao, jingdong, originally used for advertising fees as commission, let users to promote, if is the buy, their access to coupons at the same time, And a commission income.
If you have the development ability, you can develop a wechat rebate robot of your own. If you don’t want to go to so much trouble, you can achieve such functions through some platforms, such as Fenxiang. Don’t have to put a penny, their own use of online shopping is also saving money. The invitation code can be T9CTHA, which is mainly a way of low threshold and high return in this paper. The following is the screenshot of my income:
The above is the author experienced some knowledge realization experience, of course, there are many ideas, such as writing articles on public accounts, opening their own knowledge planet, in short, there are many methods, mainly how to manage their own time, after all, people’s energy is limited.
Choose a suitable sideline according to your personality
Said so many methods, of course, or need to be combined with their actual situation to choose their own sideline, the most important. For example, extroverted, especially like talking and communicating, which is more suitable for sales. When it comes to sales, it does not just refer to real estate. Here is an idea: Through the audio production platform of Himalaya FM, we media and video can be realized through sound. Introverted model, suit to do civilian office to the person that does not like to deal with the person quite, because of the reason of personality respect, these people are relatively quiet compare composed, to this kind of introverted person, suit to do a few civilian office kind of job more. When the introversion of the people calm down will be able to do all kinds of suitable civilian work on the Internet, such as now very popular public number articles, headlines, hundreds of number from the media, and can undertake the network of part-time editors and other work.
At their best, major and sideline activities reinforce each other, with the two lines spiraling upward.
Your capital includes capital, time, wisdom, labor, technology, interest and wisdom, as long as you can create value can be called your capital. I hope these experiences can give you some inspiration.
If you agree with them, give them a thumbs up
