The position of product manager is tied to programmers. Although they love and kill each other daily, no one can do without. So as long as it is a platform where programmers can take orders, product managers can generally take orders.
Below I have compiled four domestic order platforms and four foreign ones, there is always one suitable for you.
Domestic articles
1. Programmer Inn https://www.proginn.com
First, let’s talk about the product "Programmer Inn". This is the platform where I work as a programmer part-time in the past few years. There are many orders that product managers can take.
A product manager I used to work with was met on this platform. I still remember when I first met her, I just walked from offline part-time job to online, tried the water on the programmer inn platform, and only accepted a small project. The product manager at the time was her. I also asked her about the platform. She told me the following three points:
-The platform will confirm the authenticity of the project, and the money will be sent to the platform first.
The advantage of this is that you are very reliable when you get the requirements document, because you know that he can afford to pay and know that the money is there, so you won't lose it or run away. Unlike offline part-time jobs, I am afraid that I am afraid that he has no money if he is not an acquaintance project.
-It will automatically dock with programmers, so you don't have to worry about candidates.
Because it is the product manager who takes the requirements document first, and then after the customer confirms it, there is nothing for you. Unlike some offline part-time jobs, the company cannot find a suitable programmer and is stuck with the product manager, otherwise it will not check out.
**
-Customers will settle the full payment upon confirmation to avoid subsequent troubles. **
As long as the customer confirms that there is no problem with the demand document, the money will be automatically credited to the account. This is really good. It's not like a part-time job offline. After the development, you have to be brazen and ask for money. You don't take the initiative at all, just like borrowing other people's money to collect debts.
2. Sxsoft：https://www.sxsoft.com/
19 years of word-of-mouth service, 200,000 programmers, 100+ professional software development companies, claiming to be able to solve various software development needs. Sxsoft is one of the few conscientious companies in the field of outsourcing, and because it is relatively more established, it is naturally more reliable, and the number of part-time positions is relatively complete.
Although the quality will be a little bit uneven, you can also receive good projects if you go up and take a look.
3. Realization network portal: https://shixian.com/
Realization network provides enterprises with reliable part-time talents and freelancers in development and design such as BAT and other famous enterprises to meet the needs of enterprise project outsourcing, on-site development, remote part-time jobs , Technical consulting and other short-term manpower needs, has served more than 2,000 enterprises.
The only thing that is not very convenient is that to realize the part-time way that the web advocates taking a shift, the product manager needs to work part-time in the employer team to facilitate communication and interaction. For many friends who want to work part-time online, it is a bit unfriendly.
4. Smart City Outsourcing Network: http://www.taskcity.com/
Smart City Outsourcing Network, aggregates the resources of the national software team, free price comparison, free one-stop outsourcing project management tool.
Product manager related part-time jobs include: website design, website development, mobile application development, mobile application development, Android application development, Apple application development, WeChat application development, Java technology, C# technology, Web front-end development, IT human outsourcing, and IT human resources Service categories such as short-term recruitment of IT personnel, technical partners, general software development, SaaS software implementation, and software operation and maintenance.
Basically, a product manager can find a position that suits him, but if it is not recorded, I will say something else.
After introducing the mainstream domestic order-taking platforms, let's talk about foreign ones.
Foreign articles
1. Freelancer: freelancer.com
If you plan to enter the foreign outsourcing industry and compete with foreign product managers, you can’t get around the freelancer website anyway.

In addition, as a listed company, freelancer has deep pockets and continues to acquire some relatively high-quality outsourcing markets to further expand its scale and cannibalize the market.

2.upwork https:www.upwork.com
This is a very amazing company, founded in 1999, the founders are very powerful, all MIT graduates, do not know if it is to adapt to the rapidly changing industry of information technology , Or purely changing the game, the company changed its name (Elance, oDesk, Elance-oDesk, Upwork) 4 times in total.

Therefore, like freelancer, the platform also provides services for many different industries, not just limited to software outsourcing. Well-known companies such as Microsoft and Airbnb have cooperated with upwork. Various data show that the scale of upwork is not inferior to that of freelancer, "casting the net widely, catching more fish, and choosing the best."

3.Fiverrhttps://www.fiverr.com/
This company started late and was established in 2010, but it has developed well, and it still has its own position abruptly under the control of the industry leaders. .
Although the company's business scope is relatively small, it focuses on writing, translation, graphic design, video editing, and software programming. But what's more powerful is that Fiverr became the top 100 mainstream website in the U.S. and the top 200 in the world when it was founded only three years ago. In the second year, it successfully received an investment of 30 million U.S. dollars. Quickly occupy the market.

Then again, although the scope of Fiverr's services is not particularly wide, their family's division of software programming is very detailed:
from the above picture, we can see that from website construction, mobile & desktop app development, Then to data analysis, user testing, everything is there, as long as you are a software professional developer, you have a place on it.
Therefore, as long as the product experience is rich enough, you can feel relieved and boldly go to the outsourcing.
4. Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs.
Stackoverflow, which is well known by the majority of product managers, is itself a company that works remotely for all people. Product managers have great inherent advantages in remote work. Stackoverflow Jobs has remote job screening. , There are a wealth of remote technical positions.
Written at the end
With the development of the Internet, part-time jobs in the IT industry are becoming more and more common. But I hope that while making money, friends don't forget to build a personal brand, because in the end, you will find that the value of products and functions is limited, and personal brand is your greatest capital.
In addition, please remember the following sentence: In the IT industry, customer resources are always your most precious wealth. When you have a large number of high-quality outsourcing customers on hand, you can already make money without selling your own time.
Hire outstanding talents to be responsible for the product planning and development of outsourcing business. You get out and are responsible for maintaining the relationship with customers, exploring more cooperation relationships with customers, such as: software copyright sales, regular product technical maintenance & problem consultation, etc. . This is the correct way to do part-time jobs.
