How does a 36-year-old programmer make money? Share sources of income in recent years

How programmers make money
In recent years, I have gone through all the money-making models
I can think of for programmers. I have worked part-time , received projects, outsourced teaching, sold courses from the media, and I have done everything I can. If you are like me, you are an ordinary technical geek. I want to know some technicians’ experience of making money and entrepreneurship , so you can listen to the content I shared today . Make money , so I don’t sell courses, I don’t recruit students, I don’t accept apprentices, I don’t cut leeks. If you like it, please give it a thumbs up and support it. Let’s enter today’s official content. Before 2014, my main source of income is writing codes and working for wages . I work in a large manufacturing industry. The IT department of the company, the job is relatively stable, but the technical atmosphere is very bad. At that time, I was not yet 30 years old, and the job felt like retirement. I thought the world is so big, I had to go and see it, so I started looking for a part-time job. Why? Looking for a part-time job? For the sake of stability , now I also suggest that you try not to resign naked. At that time, I found a part-time job as a programming lecturer. I worked every day and got paid every day. I still remember that I finished the class on the first day.

































When I received 230 yuan for the class fee, I was so
happy. I have been working for two years . My class fee has been increasing until the income of the part-time job is already higher than my income from the job. I decided to resign and I went to a family. A training organization works as a full-time lecturer , but it ’s not as good as a person’s fortune Taking advantage of the bonus period, we dare not say that it will be no problem to earn a few million more. After the family is separated, no one can earn any money. Of course, I am a part-time worker. No matter how much they earn , I have no money Relationship , but I have to figure out a way out when the company is gone. Then I found out that training institutions are so profitable. I found a friend to work together in an organization. I was in charge of technology and he was in charge of recruiting students. We registered a company, and the result was that ideals could not stand up to reality. It took only a year for us to be tortured , and we were swept away. It was 2016. Everyone knew that offline training institutions made money, and they all came to do this. The sensible people had already started to roll online at that time, but I was fine. experience

































The company was disbanded after being swept away.
Although the first venture failed
, the company still had to continue to work.
It was impossible to find a job.
Let’s continue to toss.
I registered another company
, whether it was a small workshop or an outsourcing company. It doesn’t matter if I
’m freelancing,
anyway, for the next few years,
I’ll be working on my own.
The first
thing
I do
is to accept software outsourcing projects.
The level of your skills
depends on whether you can receive outsourcing projects.
If you can receive projects ,
we can’t do them ourselves. You
can make money by subcontracting them or hiring others to do them. I didn’t have enough food. I was the same as many programmer friends. I felt that the marketing staff in the company didn’t know anything. How could they earn more than us technicians? I didn’t know that the company relies on these Only people in the market can survive. I took a few outsourcing projects and gave up on this path. There are too many strange things and it’s too tiring to talk about. Friends who are interested can chat in detail in the future. In summary, the market is more important than technology . After the project, I started to switch to online training again
















You can see that many bloggers are now selling courses
. The logic of making money is very simple.
The first is
to have a set of systematic courses
to ensure that students can find employment after finishing their studies. The
second
is to publish some dry content
to attract potential If a user signs up to study
, as long as he does these two things well, he
will definitely make money
, but it is not easy for him to do these two things.
For example, if a person in his 30s signs up,
you know that he can’t find a job. They have money
, and if
a student who is not a computer major comes to sign up, if
he doesn’t pack his resume, he won’t have an interview opportunity. Do
you want to help him pack his resume
? Also, some students
will spend a lot of energy on you.
For example
, a student
who installs JDK I just
don’t know how to configure environment variables, and he doesn’t understand the videos I took,
so why don’t you help him remotely?
This is a question that really tests the patience of the instructor.
If it is not handled properly, it will affect the reputation of the
training
. It will consume a lot of your energy.
In addition to these problems, some students disappear
after signing up. They leave homework, do not write and send messages, and do not reply .




So if you want to do a good job in training,
it’s really not enough to give good lectures.
I originally did training because I like technology and
I like teaching
, but I found that most of the time
it has nothing to do with technology and teaching,
so I After doing it for a while, I gave up and
then I started a full-time self-media.
I am still very confident in my teaching level, so
I sent all the teaching videos I recorded
for free,
and many friends
also watched them. I only paid attention to mine in these courses
, and then I started to make some popular science videos,
employment interview industry analysis
, and then inserted a few advertisements unexpectedly, and
it has been mixed until now.
Last year, my income was mainly from advertisement placement
, and there was no incentive effect. Platform incentives
I am also constantly trying on the road of self-media.
I feel that I still
like self-media.
On the one hand, I can keep learning
and share what I have learned with everyone. It
is not necessarily technology,
but it may be some opinions and ideas
. By the way, insert some advertisements
as a way to make money.
Of course, this model is still being explored.
Many friends may not be able to accept it.
And my current ideas are not particularly mature. If you
have any ideas in the future, I will share them with you.
I hope what I said today can
give you some ideas. make money
Friends who know technology, please give me some inspiration.
Some content may not be particularly detailed.
Friends who are interested can leave me a message.
