I think, the first answer of many students is to practice hard technology, annual salary million, win baifumei, embark on the peak of life!
If you call to point pay salary also make money, that I have nothing to say, achieve annual salary million of technical personnel certainly have, but can have a few? This is not universal at all.
So, I’m here to talk about ways to make money on the side and get financial freedom from a side job.
Yesterday, I saw a very interesting post on Zhihu, with a noun called “small-town problem-solver”.
This reminds me that one of my classmates asked me: “Qijian, can you really make a lot of money with high technology?”
It’s the equivalent of “small-town problem solvers.” Can technical programmers really make a lot of money?
First, money, always rely on technology
I never think that high technology can make a lot of money, I always think that technical people improve their skills is the fundamental to their own life, is to ensure that they can eat the ability, and can make a lot of money, depends on the absolute level of technology.
Let me give you a real example.
We all know that the website has traffic, AND I have said that wherever there is traffic, there will be money. Have a friend to do the service end, use the frame to build an interview exchange website www.100mian.com (hundred face net). Completely using the existing module framework, drag and drop to complete, need technical content?
But he makes at least $50,000 a year, you know?
So, technology is just a means, can make money depends on the things outside technology, rather than technology!
If you want to make money from technology, learn something other than technology in your spare time. Talk to people in operations and business. You’ll know what makes money and what the enterprise needs. Go see if you can do it.
I always think that technology students, as long as the change of mind, money is very simple, we all understand the technology, the lack of only thought, when your brain that tendon can turn over, it will be.
Some students like to develop their own software, think that their development of the software is popular, can achieve financial freedom.
Yes, the premise is that you this software to fire, and technology is very difficult to let him fire, the same type of software is much like cow hair, why some can have a lot of users, and some but always use not fire series?
The fundamental reason is that the success of software depends more on the product itself and operation promotion strategy than technology.
If there really is no substitute on the market, even if it lasts for three minutes and dies for an hour, someone will still use it.
What should I do in a part-time job?
As I’ve said before, there are two types of work, predictable work and unpredictable work.
A predictable job is one in which you get a predictable reward for all your efforts. For example, if you can beat 100 pancakes a day, you can’t beat 200 pancakes even if you don’t sleep all day.
An unpredictable career is one in which the chances of success are high, such as a singer, who may hit the world with his first song or remain at the top of the charts after a lifetime of singing.
For general work, it is recommended that we do predictable jobs. All the industries that pay wages to the point are predictable jobs. Obviously, programmers are predictable jobs, and it is impossible for you to make ten thousand this month and one million the next.
If you do a part-time job, you’ll probably be financially free within a month, or if you do it for years without making a ripple.
As I do B station, the first nine videos in a row, a total of more than two thousand fans, and the last video is popular, a net increase of fifteen thousand fans. That’s the magic of the opportunity component.
Websites like my friend’s are also unpredictable products that can go off one day (though I don’t think it’s likely…). But there is always a chance.
And some friends do part-time projects, a project for half a year, earn tens of thousands of yuan, tired half dead. If you’re in school, I suggest you practice your skills. If it is already working students, it is not recommended to take this kind of work
Now many main recommend some coolies part-time job, I am very despise, purely rely on selling labor to earn money, are the lowest part-time way.
Can once and for all, with the growth of time, wealth can gradually increase, is advanced.
Take new media as an example. There are so many platforms for short video and long video that you can try to do it. As time goes by, your number of fans will gradually increase.
You know website development, can you try to build a website, do SEO optimization, without a lot of manpower, let it run?
As we have said before, we should “dare to be the queen of the world” and be good at copying. If others do well in this direction, you will be able to follow suit. Copy refers to copy direction, not copy works!
As to how to copy, how to choose the direction, another day to open the article to tell you.
Remember, technology is just the means. It’s something other than technology that makes the real money.
