As a programmer who used to make money from part-time development and traveled to more than half of China, he encountered unscrupulous party A, and the end of the development was not completed; he encountered unreliable platforms, did not open the member, did not open the member It turned out that there was no order; I also took the intermediary order that claimed to be Party A, and found out that they took more money than myself.
There are probably as many pits as I have traveled through part-time job, so I have accumulated some experience to share with you.
There are two main aspects:
1. What are the categories of part-time programmers?
2. What are the reliable part-time platforms?
First is the first question. After several years of living on part-time jobs, I found that programmers part-time jobs can be divided into three types:
·Part-time job crowdsourcing The
so-called part-time job crowdsourcing means that the demand side has its own programmers to cooperate, and only programmers in a certain position are required to develop a certain module project. For example, when developing an app, the back-end interface has already been developed, and there is only a shortage of iOS front-end development engineers, then they will post a position on the platform to recruit a front-end and cooperate with the company to complete the project development. This kind of demand is characterized by a relatively short period and the project amount is between 5,000 and 30,000.
·Project package The
project package refers to the project that the demander does not have its own technical team and needs to rely on other teams to develop the package. For example, when developing an app, the demand side only has a simple requirements document, and you need to have a team on your side for UI design, front-end and back-end development, and so on. This demand is characterized by a relatively long period and a relatively large project amount. At present, similar projects on the platform generally have an amount ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and are divided into three to four phases for phased development.
·Freelancers are on site.
Freelance on-site requirements refer to confidential projects of certain demanders or projects that the company has rigid requirements for on-site. Of course, the development content is similar to part-time job crowdsourcing, and the on-site cost is about 500/8 hours to 3000/8 hours.
The first and third categories are suitable for independent developers like me who have no team but have technology, and the second category is suitable for teams with project experience.
Before introducing the channels, I hope that everyone will first understand some of the pits that you may step on when doing part-time jobs, so as to prevent blind people from going up the mountain, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. The following summary is so three-and-four, I hope you can see, if it helps you a little bit, it is worthy of my blood and tears and the hair that I have fallen for so many years:
·Three picks
1. Projects involving trusted colleagues, friends or relatives can be accepted. The people around me are always more reliable and reassuring.
2. The already developed seven or eighty-eight, only need to debug, increase or decrease functions or iterate, you can connect. For such a project, although it may take some time to become familiar with other people's code, it is really easy to talk about needs and prices.
3. If there is a complete requirement document and development cycle, it can be accessed. Such a project, as long as you are strong enough to deliver the code on time, it is definitely the easiest to do.
·Four non-acceptance
1. Take the initiative to find a high-priced intermediary order, do not accept it. Formal intermediaries have developers who are familiar with them, so good things like this will not fall on you, and if they take the initiative to find you, either they want to lie to you or they want to cheat you.
2. Blindly emphasize "very simple projects" "do not take a lot of time" but do not give clear needs do not accept. In this way, either you want to lower the price, or you want to develop more and he pays less, anyway, you will suffer.
3. Don't pick up items that laymen give you. Because there are two situations prone to occur, either you overestimate your technical level and accept the project that you can't handle in one fell swoop; or you underestimate the difficulty of the project, and the price is lowered at the beginning.
4. Don't accept projects that friends or relatives need to pay for their own development. Of course, you can also practice without money, otherwise it will be very easy to hurt. Think about the demand scenario between you and the product manager.
Believe me, remember that if you don’t pick it up, you can get less mad and keep more hair.
Next, let's talk about the reliable part-time programmer channels. I also divide these channels into three categories: offline channels, online technical forums, and vertical crowdsourcing platforms.
1. Offline channels
This point includes two aspects: one is introduction by relatives and friends, and the other is self-recommended by the summit.
I have received a lot of crowdsourcing introduced by former colleagues, and I have participated in various Internet summits and chatted with people to introduce the projects I obtained by accident. The advantage is that it saves time and effort and there is no need to worry about being deducted, because there are not too many people with When you compete, everyone is an insider. It is easy to determine the level; the downside is that if there is or not, it is not very unstable, and because it is a friend who occasionally bargains.
This type of channel is too random, and it is very comfortable to encounter a good project, but there is no way if you don't encounter it. It is recommended that you use it as a supplement to finding part-time jobs.
2. Online Technology Forum
This category refers to the fact that we consciously post on forums where programmers gather to promote ourselves and gain customers through PR. These types of online forums are more famous: CSDN, blog garden, programmer’s inn’s technology circle, question and answer community SegmentFault, and programmers "watering" community V2EX.
Everyone should be familiar with CSDN, I won't say much. Here I mainly talk about the technical circle of the Programmer Inn, which is a community where programmers are more concentrated, where you can ask questions, post, and recruit. You can often see part-time rendezvous posts posted by some teams.
In these forums, there is another way you can find part-time jobs, that is, you can open a separate post to introduce your technical advantages, time advantages, project advantages, and explain what kind of projects you want to take on recently, if there is a demand side If you do, the other party will contact you.
3. Vertical crowdsourcing platform
This type of platform has been around since 15 years and is more friendly to programmers who are new to part-time jobs. Because the relevant regulations are relatively complete, they can protect the interests of both parties. Although there will be disputes occasionally, trust me, it’s much better than you, so you can avoid a lot of pitfalls when you just started a part-time job.
There are many platforms of the same type in this area, and they generally focus on the IT crowdsourcing field. The job content is also relatively comprehensive, such as common UI design, product design, program development, product operation and other positions can find the demand side, of which the demand for program development and UI design is the most, which can provide a rich and stable part-time demand. We choose.
Below I have sorted out nine platforms and introduced them in detail, indicating that I have taken orders in them and I am very satisfied. Those who are not introduced are recommended by friends. You have to verify whether they are reliable or not.
1. [Programmer Inn-the leading free remote work platform for programmers] (https://www.proginn.com/):
Programmer Inn is China’s leading free work platform, designed for mid- to high-end programmers, product managers and designers Teachers and other Internet-related personnel provide stable online job opportunities, including free work, remote work and part-time work, and also support on-demand employment. There are many working modes.
Although the name is Programmer Inn, in addition to programmers, Internet-related personnel such as product managers, designers, etc., can find suitable projects on it. Those who are interested can experience it.
2. Outsourcing masters
Outsourcing masters is a crowdsourcing development platform under PMCAFF (PMCAFF is a relatively well-known product manager community). It was established in 17 years and has undergone several revisions. At present, outsourcing masters also focus on technology development and crowdsource development. It is operated in combination with its own development.
3. Renren Development-Application Market Development Service Platform
Renren develops similar to Witkey websites, but does not start with a logo design like Witkeys. Instead, it started with technology development business, especially the development of enterprise management software industry.
The registration process developed by Renren is a bit simpler, but it is recommended that you also fill in your resume carefully.
The following article introduces how to write an excellent part-time resume from the two aspects of "what content should be included in a resume" and "what kind of resume is an excellent resume". I recommend it to everyone.

I understand the first three platforms for freelancers . The company is a regular project and it is more reliable. I have never used the latter six and I dare not give everyone a ticket. I just leave it for everyone to make a supplement. If none of the three platforms find a suitable part-time job, you can try the following six platforms.
