Everyone wants to make money online, but it's not easy as it sounds it to be.

But once you get the clue, you have an endless journey to explore unique ways to your ultimate goal - I mean money.

Here is how to get started.

Yes, beginner developers can also make money in a variety of ways, depending on their skills, experience, and interests.

Here are some common ways that beginner developers earn money:

Freelancing: Many beginner developers start their careers by working as freelance developers.

Freelance work can provide an opportunity to gain experience, build a portfolio, and earn money while developing a network of clients.

Freelancers may find work through networking, referrals, or online freelance marketplaces like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer.

Full-time employment: Some beginner developers may find employment as salaried employees for companies, organizations, or government agencies remotely.

In this digital era, many companies want to hire remote employees, it saves them money and resources.

So if you spend time searching the internet, you will find many opportunities out there.

Even usually use LinkedIn to find remote employees.

For instance, my agency (Sturdy Business) recently hired a remote assisstant link builder to offer affordable SEO services.

But to track activity they will use employee activity tracking tool Hubstaff, so it can happen in your case.

I think there is nothing wrong using such tools. It keeps both (company and employee) active.

Developing mobile apps: With the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets, there is a growing demand for mobile apps. Beginner developers can create mobile apps and earn money by selling them on app stores like the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, or through in-app advertising.

Creating and selling digital products: Beginner developers can also make money by creating and selling digital products like online courses, e-books, and software tools.

They can sell these products on their own websites or through online marketplaces like Gumroad or Teachable.

Developing web applications: Beginner developers can also create and sell web applications, which are software programs that run on the internet.

They can sell these applications to businesses, organizations, or individuals who need customized software solutions.

Overall, the key to making money as a beginner developer is to focus on developing skills, building a strong portfolio, and marketing oneself effectively to potential clients or employers. As one's skills and experience grow, so too do the opportunities for earning income as a developer.
