If you stay up late typing code, your wealth is still limited;
if you waste time learning technology, the effect is not obvious;
if you work on development under pressure, you are worried about losing your job;
if you are bald and work hard for qualifications, your position will not change;
if you work extra part-time, you may be cheated...
As a hard-working coder, have you ever encountered some embarrassing incidents when you were taking orders to work part-time?
If you don’t leave bugs in the final payment, the customer may even run away and work as a free labor force;
the instructions are unclear and unclear, and even after repeated modifications, “God” is still not satisfied;
you don’t make much extra money, but you feel a lot angry...
If the above problems occur, it is most likely that you have stepped on the following pitfalls!
1. Source: unknown, unreliable private order.
Maybe you are eager to receive orders and want to open a business, so you have obtained some minor orders through some non-mainstream channels, such as personal introductions or even some online information. However, the identity of the customer was not verified, which allowed some people who had falsified their identity to take advantage of it.
In this case, the integrity issue cannot be guaranteed, and there may be consequences of being defrauded of labor, and it will be in vain! ! ! There may even be some non-standard gray sheets... Better sleep peacefully at night.
2. Order: The order requirements are not clear and the customer is anxious to get it.
A vague request is better than nothing. There is no end to the modifications and the demands cannot be met. When will we be satisfied?! When is it OK?! It must be precise and effective communication will get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise it will be a waste of time for both parties. Why bother?
At the same time, you must be cautious when accepting urgent orders. Not only is it easy to communicate unclearly, and the time is uncontrollable; there may also be second-hand unfinished orders, or other unknown risks. Since no one else has been able to do the job before, it certainly makes sense, for example, whether the customer requires repeated modifications or other worse reasons. Therefore, an urgent list is like a hot potato, which can easily hurt yourself. After passing the buck and arguing, they finally broke up on bad terms.
3. Salary: The method and stages of fee handover are unclear.
How many people have not received the final payment, and how many people have conflicts with customers because of the payment of fees during the development phase... In the final analysis, it is to pay and deliver the goods. It must be made clear at what stage and how much "Mane" will be paid. Money is the top priority~ Otherwise, the work you do will only be in vain.
4. Ability: Show off your ability and do it reluctantly.
As the saying goes: Don’t do porcelain work without diamonds. If your own technology stack cannot meet the requirements of the order, and the order is obviously beyond your capabilities, it is recommended not to accept it. You can't do it or you can't do it well, but you accept it. Not only did I delay my clients, but I also delayed myself. I was unable to secure orders, and I also ruined my reputation as a part-time employee. That's right, shooting yourself in the foot is not worth the gain.
It is often more important to give customers a good impression and accumulate reputation. After all, you cannot become fat by eating one meal at a time. Now, the era of "I don't know how but I can learn" is gone. It depends on how capable you are and how much you can do.
5. Intensity: Taking orders full-time.
Because they value more freedom in taking orders, have just lost their job, and feel that taking orders will make more money, some people choose to take orders full-time: directly turning their side business into their main business. I advise everyone: think twice!! !
First of all, taking on private work is basically a matter of "depending on the weather". Unless you are extremely talented or have a fixed channel, it is generally difficult to ensure its stability. Can I receive an order? How long does it take to receive an order? How is the quality of the order? There are too many uncertainties. If you completely rely on private work to eat, it can only be said that it will be difficult to eat~
Secondly, it is not recommended especially for those who have never held a formal job. Customers tend to value work resume and work experience, and if they lack relevant experience, it will be difficult to estimate the construction period and budget. This makes the already weak order-taking ability even worse. As for the income, it is even harder to say.
6. Platform: Encounter a platform that defrauds people and money.
I couldn't handle it myself and felt uneasy, so I found a platform and let a third party intervene, thinking that everything would be fine.
However, he fell from one pit into another. After paying a deposit and making changes again and again, the results may have been stolen, and in the end I lost both my personal and financial resources. Alas, since then, there is another sad person in the world~
