Recently, many readers have privately messaged me that I want to accept private work and earn extra money.
This article systematically shares thoughts on the matter of taking orders and doing private work, and also gives some dry goods suggestions. I hope that everyone will avoid some detours and not be cheated.
Let me talk about the conclusion first
It is not recommended that you put too much energy into the matter of receiving orders. If you are "unwilling to change your mind", it is recommended that you treat this matter in a more casual way.
Let me talk about the reason
- In this article, after the programmer bought a house in Beijing in 1993, he began to think about how to make more money. I shared in detail: I was able to buy a house in Beijing because my job was very stable, my social security had not been interrupted for 5 years, and I had been promoted quickly. salary. Taking private jobs is just icing on the cake for making money to buy a house, not the key to buying a house.
- The employment environment in this article is not good and you want to start a side job? The inside story of cutting leeks! In detail: As a programmer or a college student, you may encounter pitfalls if you want to take orders and make money. Or the simplest sentence: Those who ask you to pay first are cheats. Common ones include but are not limited to: fees for entering the platform, and various high-profile promises. Add a simpler truth: Anything that makes you feel like you're taking advantage of something is a trap.
- In this article, the programmer's feelings about taking orders full-time for a month are detailed: Don't take orders full-time! Don't take orders full time! Don't take orders full time!
Seeing the old fans here may be strange, how did Brother Yang take the order?
How do I take an order?
That's right, I did take orders, and it was relatively stable, and I also made some money. And the money was earned in a down-to-earth manner, without rush or impatience.
Why?
The reason is simple: because I am more reliable, and the orders I receive are also more reliable.
1. Order source
First of all, I did not take over private work from any order receiving platform. It's all friends who ask me for help, they think I can do it, and they want me to do it.
Skills: The first order does not make money, earn word of mouth, do a favor and make friends. Favors are more valuable than money.
Key points: If you are reliable in doing things, others will come to you, will continue to find you, and will have more opportunities.
2. Learn to Say No
Although "humanity" is very important, you must also learn to feel that you must not accept unreliable orders! Including but not limited to: involving h and z, gambling and other very criminal projects, or any projects that you have in your mind.
As long as you are muttering in your heart and getting entangled. Please don't hesitate, refuse, simply refuse! Don't do the stupid thing of throwing watermelon and picking sesame seeds!
3. How to schedule
Evaluate your own time. If you are not busy at work and get off work on time, you can schedule a tighter schedule.
If you are already busy, receiving orders will affect your work. Then refuse, or be a favor and recommend it to a reliable friend.
4. How to quote
Calculate hourly or daily wages based on your salary.
According to the scheduling * hourly salary (daily salary) is the quotation. Please don't be embarrassed to quote, let alone feel that your quote is high or low.
You just go to quote first, if the other party really wants you, they will discuss the quote with you. Instead of directly saying yes or no.
If you don't tell you anything after you quote, there will be no more. There is a high probability that it is not your problem, maybe he just prostituted your quotation for reference, so it is recommended to stay away.
5. How to sign the contract
The contract must be signed to clarify the responsibilities and obligations of both parties: specify the schedule, function points, and liability for breach of contract. The key is the three points I mentioned, and other templates can be set. If you need a template, you can private message me to ask for a copy, just in case.
6. How to increase the order rate
- Be reliable and build a good reputation
- Learn to express and show your strengths
- Communicate in a timely manner, regardless of whether it is successful or not, communicate in a timely manner.

Sincere suggestion
Do your job well in a down-to-earth manner, improve yourself, and after you have the ability, you will naturally be able to "breeze slowly". You don't need to find the project, the project will take the initiative to find you.
Order platform
The following is the platform for receiving orders. The content comes from Zhihu. There are two reasons for reprinting:
- It is convenient for everyone to understand the respective advantages of these platforms. You can combine your own situation and register for one or two to practice. Note: Please follow the fate and don't expect too much. If you were optimized last year and haven't found a job yet, it is recommended to find a job in a down-to-earth manner and don't waste time on it.
- The second reason is also to dissuade everyone from entering the pit: there are so many crowdsourcing platforms and order-taking platforms. Look at the registration rate and order rate, they are very poor. And good projects are basically monopolized by leading outsourcing companies. How can a rookie who has just entered the industry receive an order? Think about it in another way, is it scientific! ?
1. Vertical crowdsourcing platform
This type of platform began to appear from 2015 to 2018, focusing on the field of IT crowdsourcing. Most of the job content focuses on the needs of UI design, product design, program development, product operation, etc. Among them, the needs of program development and UI design At most, it can provide relatively stable and more part-time job needs for us to choose from. These channels mainly include:
1. YesPMP platform:
There is only one reason for the first promotion of this platform: it is free! Registration is free, bidding is free, and there are plenty of resources.
But each platform has its own "routines". You can only submit 3 project bids for free every day. If you want to bid for more projects, you need to open a membership.
(Teach you a trick: you can bid for 3 more projects the next day, and you can submit 3 for free every day)
2. Open source crowdsourcing:
Open source China's crowdsourcing platform, the current project is mainly based on the whole package of the project, and there are more companies that are connected to the package, and individuals can also register. There are currently free and paid models. In the end, the platform is all about making money, and it is unlikely that prostitutes will receive good projects.
3. Renren Development - application market development service platform:
The registration process developed by Renren is relatively simple, but it is recommended that you also fill in your resume carefully.
4. English selection:
Yingxuan has its own contracting team for self-operated business, and also supports external entry.
5. I love scheme network:
The name is relatively earthy, but it is recommended to register for hardware engineers and embedded engineers.
6. Code market:
7. Jiefang number:

3. Programmer Inn:
Programmer Inn is a leading platform for programmers to work freely. If you are an experienced and qualified developer, you can come to register as a developer, and do some projects in your spare time to earn some pocket money.
Of course, if you want to be a freelancer, Programmer Inn can also satisfy you. As long as you have the technology, you are not afraid of not making money. Many programmers visit here every day and pick up some projects to do. Many companies also publish project requirements here.
