Intro

If you’re a developer and need to earn some extra cash, the first thought that comes to your mind is probably freelancing. You’re already building software, so why not build (and sell) software for others? However, what if I told you that there are other, better ways to start making money as a software engineer?

Since the internet is making money from home easier than it’s ever been. Here I have listed down 5 most popular side hustles for software developers.

  1. Paid newsletter

There are literally millions of software developers in the world. And there’s a good chance that you can monetize your time by selling them a resource that teaches them something they can’t seem to get from books, blog posts, and online courses — your experience.

Starting your own paid newsletter is one of the easiest and fastest ways to generate a side income as a software developer. If you don’t have an audience and budget to promote your writing I highly recommend you to check https://substack.com/
