(There are probably other posts like this but I searched for like 30m and I only found some based on just python or some other language, and some were answered with advice like "Freelance on websites like Fiverr" which I've done with no success, so sorry if this is a repetitive post)

Hey, I'm a full-stack developer, proficient in JS/TS and PHP. I'm very well versed with: Next, Express, React, Tailwind, and Laravel and Cake for php (I also used to develop for a server software which, for some reason, used PHP on CLI for several years so yeah lol). This is my website: seekehr (dot) github (dot) io

I've tried Fiverr multiple times, with my gigs only really averaging 50 impressions, but my main issue now is: I can only accept payment with crypto. So I automatically can't use Upwork or Fiverr or whatever.

Help me out please! I have around 4 bucks to invest in BTC, which I earned by someone taking pity on me from ranting () and letting me edit a video for their social media for which they paid 1$/h
 
Try offering dev services in crypto-focused communities like r/Jobs4Crypto, Discord servers, or X (Twitter) using your GitHub portfolio to build trust.

Sounds like you might have the skills needed to flip the script and create your own project or service and then use crpyto to accept payments.
 
I'd say freelancing is your best bet. Given you're only able to receive crypto, I'd suggest partnering up with someone that can receive payments for you and then send it over to you in crypto. Or as "please read" said, you can create your own project with your coding exp and simply use crypto as payment method
 
You kind of limit yourself by only accepting Crypto though, Is there no way to accept other payment methods?
 
Why only crypto ?

Anyone can open a Transfer Wise account to accept foreign payments

You can start freelancing for crypto projects, and also become a blockchain developer.
To freelance as a coder for crypto projects, directly contact the teams of crypto projects through the contact details on their official websites, mostly through their Telegram ID mentioned on their official websites.
 
Be a freelancer
Easiest way to earn
Yeah but idk how, websites like fiverr don't offer crypto payment and are way too competitive. I can't really find any customers on Telegram freelancing groups or discord servers either. Plus idk how to 'set up my own brand' aside from creating a website and twitter

I can't use Reddit (all my accounts get suspended immediately, idk why. I appealed it like thrice with no response), and yea I'm using Discord. I have created a Twitter account but Twitter is banned in my country and I have to use a VPN, but IDK how to market myself with this either. I'd appreciate any threads that target this

A friend also recommended this to me and I've been thinking about it, but won't it be costly to start my own start-up? I could buy a 'dot store' domain for like 1 buck a year using crypto, but what about server costs? And lowkey I don't know how to market my product, or which product I should work on in the first place (but ig that can't be spoonfed lol, I'd appreciate any pointers though).

Yeah, I'm already partnering with someone (assuming I don't get scammed ;D) to transfer the crypto into cash, I'll lose way too much if I also have to find someone to convert the online payment into crypto and then into cash (I'm already giving over 30%, potentially more, just to receive cash ASSUMING I don't get scammed as I've only talked to the guy yet and I haven't received any actual payment yet).

Nopity ;-;, I explain it more on my previous thread but basically I'm 17 and my legal age is 16 (yes, fraud, no, authorities don't GAF as it's kinda common here, and no, I can't contest in court due to legal fees + guardianship needed to contest in court)

How could I use it while being under 18? I researched a bit and it requires an 18+ account


Crypto affiliate programs or crypto-content creation.
Hey, thanks for replying. I'll look into that! I'd appreciate if you could give me some specific threads but if not then NP! Appreciate you

Oh hmm, I guess I could but why would any crypto team hire me when I'm very new to this (matter of fact, I don't know much about crypto at all. I can code IG but I don't think that's sufficient)? I could put in effort to learn this in a couple of months, perhaps weeks if possible, but usually such companies require years of experience, 18+ and a professional resume, right?

Thanks a lot for replying guys! Btw, some people recommended it on another forum but I can't really just "finish highschool and start a physical part-time job in college" (or get a part-time job right now) due to my situation with my parents, who have basically quarantined me due to past s4bstance ab4se and other mental health issues and don't treat me well in the sense of being controlling as hell, so I'm trying to get my money up solely so I can attempt to prove I'm capable of being independent, OR (more likely) move out if they still treat me like this. Thanks guys, I'm feeling more hopeful now and I probably won't do anything major to myself at this point since I have a goal now

Uh my message is flagged by moderators, is that normal? I'm not sending any links or anything

Why would you need a partner for crypto > cash? Don't you have a bank account? If so, doesn't a CEX support your country for a bank withdrawal?

Nah brother I don't, I'm 17. Under 18 (and ill get my bank account in 2y anyway). I have this guy who used to sell me... stuff, and he promised he'd have someone delivered cash right to my house, but it's hard to trust anyone in this world today so I just hope I don't get scammed
 
Meow (post bumping is allowed right? Didn't see it in newbies guide)
 
Create open-source crypto widgets, toss a wallet address, devs get donations that way fr.

Yeah that sounds too good to be true. I understand you being 17. Aren't you able to have a relative help with the Crypto > Cash part? I used to use relatives' PayPals for business when I was your age

Yeah but it will be very difficult to code one (considering I'm very unfamiliar with crypto), then even harder to market it and finally it's kinda unreliable to expect donations you know? Plus I don't think anything crypto-related I build will get much traction due to the heavy competition

I mean he is charging a lot so yeah. Nope, all of my relatives would tell my parents and my parents would directly control my earnings, meaning no money would ever graze my pockets. And I don't really have any relative I could like confide to and expect them to keep it a secret YK?
 
I think it would be possible to try to write a special program for automating trading. Perhaps it would be worth trying on some cheap coins. It would also be possible to try to automate AirDrop

Wouldn't such programs with better algorithms already be available online? I looked it up a bit and big websites like Tradehull and Avatrade already exist, IDK if my program would be big enough, you feel me? What does automating airdrop mean btw? Apple airdrop?

Ahah no, sorry for explaining incorrectly. I mean crypto AirDrop and RetroDrop. These are activities in crypto projects for which a reward is given. Please check this out in Google for example, it's a long explanation
