Thanks for all discussion and comment. I can conclude the ways for making money.
- Find a job and get paid
- Find a client and provide service
Most of us writing here, discussing here and reading here are experienced developers. Right?
I created this post for brainstorming for creative idea for making money.
Lets start discussion
Awesome List
- Education
- Make friends not in the same field
- Build good relationship with customer
Education
We all may have developed many projects. There may be various client in your contract. You can educate them on the solution. You may be referred by the clients.
Education may be a awesome way for marketing - simo97
Make Friends in different fields
We all are in technical field. We would not have the demand for technical guys but have demand for a job. The people in other fields may have demand for our technical skill.
*Selling to the guy in the same field is useless *
Build good relationship with customer
Many people said building a good relationship with our customer.
- Do you have any suggestion to build a good relationship? *
When we are doing a project, the slogan of "make customer happy" often make us unhappy.
How could you make a win-win relationship to me and our customer?

Hi Ben,
You can do it on upwork, freelancer etc. there is a lot of competitions and highly skilled folks there ( on anywhere on INTERNET ;-) ) but i think you can learn how to differentiate yourself with this ( i assume that are able to deliver a serious work, as a developer):

I have tried to find projects from the internet but not successful. Most of my freelance projects are referred by my friends. Actually, I want to find project myself.
The fact is that we all start somewhere !!
Since you already have a few clients (even recommended one) just try to do you best to satisfy them (first) and when you finish a project stay in contact with them by sending mails about how they should use you solution, the updates, try to educate you client on the solution, etc...
The goal there is to stay in their mind. So They could think about you or recommend you to their friend, SO THE BIG GOAL IS TO CREATE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE (like salesforce).
Education is a type of marketing. smile:)
To start your side-project and learn marketing is the ultimate answer. But just 1% of devs could do that. I'm going to write an article on that topic soon.
I am looking forwards to your article
Work with other clients or get a job.
How can I find a client?
Create a website for yourself and add your resume and skills.
Just blogging?
Creating a blogging website will not working, you need to create a portfolio too.
