Programming | How to make money | Ideas ?

Hello, would you mind give me some ideas on how to make money by programming ?

Thanks in advance !

freelancing in sites like Freelancer.com and Upwork.com
create simple bots and sell here in the marketplace
programming is amazing you can make a lot of money with it

Choose a niche, go to the store, look for apps in that niche, research weak or missing features in comments, make your own app focusing on those feature, money rain!

If you need cash right away do freelance work for sites like fiverr or SEO clerks.

If you want to play the long game and have capital go with SEO for niche products or services that you can upsell and outsource.

You didnt say what area. Programming is a big word! You could program space flight software for Elon Musk for example?

You should look into working as a freelancer and fixing peoples broken stuff.

I will give you 10 grand, if you can make a bot strike my ego.

....stroke, that is.

I know a method that works. Takes a lot of time and effort unless you are already a competent programmer and artist.

1 - Download & install Unity game engine.
2 - Design 'idle clicker' style game/any other popular yet simple genre. (Idle games are just so simple on the code side that they make sense)
3 - Implement monetization within the game mechanics. For example "watch video ad to unlock gem chest X amount of minutes quicker".
4 - Publish to App store, Play store and Steam.
5 - Profit.

The artwork is the hardest part of all this IMO.Having a polished and niche game will make the difference between success and failure. There is high saturation in this market so having a niche spin on the idle game mechanic is probably essential.

This should be seen as a long term high ROI method. It is far from being without risks, but the investment required is mostly time.

PS. I've had an idle game in the works for a while now which puts quite a unique spin on it. I might be interested in sharing/finishing the project with an artist if anyone here is competent with 2D vector graphics.

I'm a vb.net programmer working with visual studio. I will be honest with you I am not trying anymore to do sotwares that I will sell and make money. I'm using my skills as aprogrammer to make money for myself by programming tools that helping me with different tasks I do in the internet.
One of my tasks is affilliate marketing and tomake it easy for me I do private softwares for a personal use.

Just something for you to think about

Good luck

Freelancing, of course.
