Hi guys,
Thanks a bunch for this awesome forum.
I am stuck in work life.
I need advice, guidance
I am an electronics engineer passed out university in 2005
From 2005 to 2009 , I worked at programming jobs.
Then I started a coding services company and also made PHP products from 2009 to 2018.
Now I am making a product on the side with gtk+
I also got a job three months back as a senior developer but I quit today.
I wish to make money doing something other than coding.
I wish to code on my gtk+ project on the side.
How can I now make money to live easy without working as a programmer.
I feel working as programmer for money is unfair as I love it so so very much.
Hope some of you find my thoughts to be justified and offer some advice.
Is it possible for me to make money without selling coding time ?
Some options - I am thinking are book keeping , 3d printing...
What do you think.
I just need to make 1400 dollars per month in my city...
Cheers,
thanks for reading
Hi Kodekaran :)
I guess, like we all, you're going throught a process of rethinking of yourself and I think you join the right forum because just in those pages you can find for sure inspiration but even the stories of all the people who actually, in real life, they answer the question you asked "Is it possible for me to make money without selling coding time ?".
As the others guy here pointed out you just have to think as a problem-solver or a service man who can for sure deliver something for the other. You have talent, with a great career behind and I'm sure you have a lot to share. One important thing is to do what makes you happy, so if for you is coding just for yourself and your ideas that's the path you need to follow. The 1400 dollars will came.
Hope you'll find your way. Have a great day
Hi Kodekaran,
You can definitely make money without having to just be selling coding time. Based on what you have described and my understanding so far, it seems like you are tied to a job majority of the time. I could relate to it.
Now, to answer to your question though. It depends very greatly on what you like to do, and what can you do. Think of it as problem solving rather. How can you help to solve the problem of another person?
Can you create a product and sell? Can you share content and sell? Can you write up something and sell?
Some such examples like, if you prefer to share your knowledge(does not have to be coding related), can you make videos and share on that topic, selling them as courses? If you are into 3d printing, can you post content on how you do that, or sell the 3d model files?
Hope that helps.
Yes that's helpful.
I can try surely.
I have written some stuff. I could make some ebooks out of those.
I might need illustrations to explain more clearly...
I will try ebooks.
Great! Glad to be of help. Let me know if you need any other help. Have a great day.
