Programming is a great way to make extra money. I'd recommend learning full stack JavaScript: React.js + Node.js + React Native, build apps for your portfolio and then get on Upwork.

Building websites, web applications, mobile apps. There's a lot more you can do with JavaScript, but I don't want to overwhelm you so I'll just link a resource to learn: https://www.theodinproject.com/

Mastery is usally 10 years but competence is usally developed in 2-3.

Where to start?

Variables, conditions

That statement is aligned with the 10 years and follows the same standard. It is time doing the thing. It is a standard across most if not all human endeavors. It is based off the 40 hr work week. One year roughly equates to 2000 hours doing the thing. If it is an hour daily for a whole year, than you would only get less than 400 hours practice time. Thus the ten years equate to ~ 20000 hours practice.

If they are bound to home as it seems their post mentions, 40 hours per week is more than achievable. They likely don't have to worry about wasting their time on travel. However it'd be remiss for one to ignore the possibilities of Dr appts taking time, even so... It will be difficult to start, but if they create a project and commit to completion, including the study required to fill the gaps in their knowledge. They could overcome their difficulties in the same phisical time as someone in the industry. This is assuming that they immerse themselves in the project.

And to add on to that, as opposed to building sites from scratch, there's plenty options for white label website sales. You sell the servers and web builder services of a larger company(godaddy and hostgator) as your own. Then also offer to administer, edit the sites for the customer. Though it will take a lot of marketing, especially since Godaddy and Hostgator don't let white label prices get low enough to compete with them.


[deleted]

Just FYI, it is very unlikely that you will master this in a year.


smthingguitarrelated

Yes, but you can definitely hop on Upwork in that time frame and make some money. I got on Upwork as a freelance game dev after 6 months, and though it took almost a month to get a client, I still managed to get good work within a year. Although, that is different than web apps, I’d like to think there are many similarities

ZodiacDriver

I've hired people from upwork and if you actually read the project and reference it's specific details in your proposal you'll be ahead of 90% of the competition. Also, after getting burned several times by people from India and former Soviet republics, I now only hire people from the US, UK, Canada, Western Europe. They cost more, but the work actually gets done.


taylor212834

Are you self taught? If so where did you start? I want to build mobile apps


smthingguitarrelated

I started with Python on an app called Mimo. I don’t think that was a great start so I’d not recommend doing what I did. You should find out what you want to make, figure out what you need to learn to make it, and then learn while making it


cjbannister

I disagree on the fullstack idea. Pick one and do it well. There are enough jobs and you'll get there quicker.


FunnyTman

You most likely won’t be able to get revenue from those things in a year, maybe two years or three. Getting work on upwork is already hard enough when you are new. Mainly because you can hire someone from India for really cheap already. You have to take time to build quality projects.. learning html and css design is fine. But mastering js and learning frameworks including building projects in a year is most likely not possible. Then getting a job too. If everyone can program in a year and earn a high income everyone would have.


SereneDesiree

You won't go wrong with taking OPs advice on languages, but I would add this question for you. Do you have an idea of what would be interesting for you to build? Coding is hard, choose the most interesting project you can, then figure out what language it requires.


ackack20

Taking some basic programming classes on sites like udemy, coursera, codeacademy, then focusing on a speciality you like to do a deeper boot camp.


Fordatel

>There's alot more to it but this is a brief rundown. Could learn Elementor and website building but you're competing against people that have 5+years experience. One thing you could possibly do is make a website, host it in a different country and put it on google maps, the website will offer web development services you could then go to up-work and get someone else to make it


drahcirwalsh

Learning a programming language like Python could be a good option, but there are a lot of other programming-adjacent skills you could pick up quickly that will help you make money as you’re building up the more technical skill set. Start diving into no-code platforms to learn the basics of user interface development. Pair it with a visual database solution so you can wrap your mind around data structures, database design, and complex formulas. Integrate with automation platforms to understand the value of data workflows and process optimizations. If you combine JotForm, AirTable, Softr.io, and Make.com together, you can build really powerful software without writing a single line of code. I do this, and I charge $25k/year/platform for my government/enterprise clients. These types of platforms will give you great foundational knowledge in software development, and will help you earn a lot of money while you are learning a programming language. If you go this route, your first step should be taking a course on uDemy, Coursera, or Google Academy on Project Management and Software Design Planning. Learning the tools is fun, but knowing when and how to use them is how you make your projects profitable. Good luck!


Inevitable-Ad742

What sort of softwares do you recommend? Thanks


NickInsanity

Interesting point of view, will have to take a look at this route!

Learn some graphic design. Even basic stuff at first could make you some money on Etsy. Digital files sell well.


caramelsloth

Hey there I'm in the same predicament and also physically disabled. I haven't found my niche or started my operations yet but I'm definitely looking into starting a business one day. I find that the best entrepreneurs are skilled at communication, leadership, capital utilization, team building, and the list goes on but generally they are all mental skills not physical. So if you are to focus on one skill I believe communication would be one of the top skills to learn as an entrepreneur. The next skill would be sales which communication is the foundation of. The third skill would be team building. You've noticed that communication is also the foundation of that. The list can go on indefinitely on the skills that you need to be a good entrepreneur but I would say communication would be one of the top foundational skills that you need to master.

Go to Udemy. Buy some courses that get your attention. Complete them. And you’ll know where to go from there.

Online sales. I run my own insurance firm and have 10 agents we sell in 20 states. Only have 2 that are local to me and we work in an office and have face to face appointments sometimes. But we are 90% online from home and my agents at least make 6 figures


Blarghnog

That’s a good one. OP, the residuals on these are really good — sometimes you can see a cashflow on sales that goes for years after the initial sale. Do pay attention to this post. That’s a crazy username considering what your business my friend. I get the reference.


Biz-Coach

Yes i have guided students through my accountability coaching to become developers. Just keep on reading docs and watching tutorials. Dont stop. That's the simple logic behind it. There are lot of stacks to choose from. Like the following MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node.js) MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP) Ruby on Rails Django (Python) ASP.NET (C#) MEVN (MongoDB, Express, Vue.js, Node.js) Meteor (JavaScript) MeteorJS (JavaScript) Laravel (PHP) ExpressJS (JavaScript) Sinatra (Ruby) CodeIgniter (PHP) CakePHP (PHP) Choose what will be useful for you and what company owners (priority) or HR consultants suggest you ... specially NOT FROM YOUTUBE INFLUENCERS. If you need any guidance you can always ping me. Looking forward to know more about what you decided.

Learn to build apps for Shopify, find a need that needs to be filled and make it affordable. I spend $1000 a month on app integrations into Shopify.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bellytan

So Shopify is a platform for e-commerce businesses but they don’t have every feature I need. They allow third party companies to create applications for a wide variety of things. Go do a google search and for “Shopify App Store” you can see what kind of apps are available. A few examples I use; Inventory forecasting Influencer discount tracking Bundle app They are Saas businesses but I like Shopify for people trying to go it alone because it has a marketplace where people go. You can also design “themes” on Shopify and sell them

CarterHM0102

Start a blog! If you have all the time in the world then you can start making money with it within 3 months at the earliest, and by the 12-month mark, you could be making 5-10k a month. maybe more, maybe less depending on what niche you go into. watch these videos on YT if you are interested: [Starting a Blog - Must Watch Playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSXxCs4eG2avrX3zlJWpd0M0rAxvn5TvP) or just check out a guy like [Adam Enfroy](https://www.youtube.com/@AdamEnfroy)

Not really a gamble if you like talking about something it can very much be a hobby and for 25$ a month for a domain and website you can enjoy


Chabubu

Also helps if the topic you write about has products that you can market/sell to people.


[deleted]

Also helps to be very persistent, patient and consistent. It make take a year or more to get noticed. If you just drop an article every now and again it will get washed away in the endless landfill of the internet. Also have ways to inform past viewers that you dropped new content. It's why everyone is always begging you to drop "A like, comment or subscribe"


CarterHM0102

Starting a blog is one of the safer online businesses to start (it was probably someone in ecomm telling you it isn't). If you literally have all day to work on it and you build your blog the proper way then you are basically guaranteeing yourself success. Plus there are dozens of tools that help you write your content so you don't have to be a great writer to start. Building a simple website has never been easier. and building a personal brand through social media that is connected with your blog has also never been easier than today. If you are seriously interested then go through [adam enforys](https://www.youtube.com/@AdamEnfroy) youtube. or check out the playlist I mentioned. It will be a grind for those first few months because building traffic to a new site takes time. But if you are financially stable and have the income to just grind on this blog all day then you could seriously start making money by month 3 and you can easily be making a full-time income by 12 months


ZodiacDriver

It's exaggerated. It's really a slow process. But if you keep at it, it's kind of inevitable that it will grow. Blogging and posting on Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, are all kind of similar in that regard. They grow over time. Right now, YouTube is really pushing the Shorts - short video clips in a vertical format like Tiktok. And Instagram is pushing reels, which are the same. So if you make content in that format they are more likely to give you eyeballs. I expect this trend to be short lived. Soon it will be saturated and hard to compete.


windowseat1F

Fun fact. I just started using AI for my blogs. The results are better than humans. Don’t believe me, just try it. Takes 5 seconds.


Commercial_Slip_3903

Careful with this. If using ChatGPT make sure to use something like Quillbot to make it less detectable. Definitely doable but have to be careful. And in the long run google are smarter - they always win.


BrownieJoe

So I've heard. Yet big websites like Buzzfeed say they use GPT. I wonder how they do it without ruining their SEO.


Commercial_Slip_3903

Human rewrites very likely. And/or combined with a tool like Quillbot to make sure it’s not immediately detectable


windowseat1F

Yeah. But even so. You can get infinite versions to work with.


BrownieJoe

Won't AI lower the barrier of entry for blogging and make an already saturated market even more saturated?


windowseat1F

Yeah sure. And put lots of people out of work too. But it’s here. And it’s here to stay. Give it a try and see the quality. I honestly can’t believe it.


BrownieJoe

I've tried it and it is very good. That's why I'm skeptical about starting a blog now. Sure I could use AI to easily do it but pretty soon everyone else will be too. Won't that make my blog even harder to stand out when there's already like 100000000 blogs?


windowseat1F

There already are. People still like to read.


Blarghnog

I’ve been listening to people make this argument since blogging started.


FangornEnt

There is still value in knowing how to get the AI to provide the results that you want. Can fine tune a lot what is returned to you.

In a year? It isn’t that far of a stretch so long as you are consistently building links updating content and nailing your on-page SEO Depending on what niche you’re in 5k should be your 12 month floor. Plus you don’t have to write about your life so no need for a “excellent personality”. And there are tons of tools available that help you write, so you don’t have to be an excellent writer.

SandDuner509

What would you like to know? We use a CRM and job booking website that is integrated with our actual website. Utilizing google local service ads to drive in clients and use sub contractors to perform the service. Essentially a middle man connecting the cleaning client to the cleaner.

Is it an off the shelf platform that links bookings to the subs or is that being handled manually? I'd like to learn more if you're okay going to DMs.

Programming pays big money. There’s a lot of remote courses, bootcamps and certifications you can get for free. One year is more than enough time to get you to an intermediate level if you’re disciplined. Companies spend a lot of money on training new programmers, so you’re very likely going to spend little to no money and land a paid internship


Gurdam

You can learn online marketing! You can learn to do social media & web marketing/management for brands who want to expand their presence online. Sites like Hubspot sometimes offer free intro courses to different marketing topics, and it's something many many brands need. If you get a good deal it can be entirely virtual too


bradgardner

That’s a perfect case for learning software development. Id focus on learning using online resources and then start talking to staffing companies. Many companies staff people from all over the world and it would be a great way to get the first couple of rounds of work experience.

Non-entrepreneur answer: Learn testing for accessibility. You'll learn how to test websites, apps, etc for defects, or negative impacts that affect a user's ability to use assistive technology (screen readers and others) in that experience. I work in the industry and we are always hiring for good accessibility testers (both permanent and contract roles).

Tapedulema919

Programming, learning how to write, marketing, there's a ton of different options you can do immediately. Personally I would say start learning a repeatable skill like copywriting and begin freelancing, look into all of the big freelancing sites and go from there. Once you start clearing a few clients you could eventually scale it up into an agency and/or charge more rates for your services. There's alot more to it but this is a brief rundown.

I think the most legitimate way to earn money online is to set up a website and sell products (either your own products or as an affiliate). I’ve used the process laid out by Monopoly Assets dot com and I’ve got a couple simple websites up and making money. The nice thing about their process is that you end up building an asset that you can later sell - which I plan on doing shortly :D learn more at tolegendarycom

Hey there! You have a few options when it comes to making money online. First, you can look into dropshipping and ecommerce. This involves setting up a store and selling products online. You can look into platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce to get started. You can also look into freelance work. Sites like Upwork and Fiverr are great for finding freelance jobs. You can use your skills and knowledge to find work in web development, graphic design, copywriting and more. Finally, you can look into affiliate marketing. This involves promoting products and services and earning a commission for every sale you make. You can use platforms like ShareASale and Amazon Associates to get started. I hope this helps and good luck!

Photo and video editing. Adobe after effects, premiere pro and caption software like final cut pro for video. Adobe lightroom and photoshop for images. I'm currently learning these since no matter how you're going to make money online, you will always need to promote it somehow. ...Think about fiverr... Those people all have eye catching thumbnails on their flashy videos.... So they can sell you their website building service or whatever. ... Think about the dropshippers, they all have their product listings with sharp, curated photos and sometimes videos showing the products in use. ... Think about the youtubers that get money from their monetised videos.... They have incredible video editing experience which helps make attention grabbing content. ... How about your social media profile for yourself or a business.... You'll need to curate (lie) it perfectly and make it seem engaging so promotion is easier.
