Hey guys :),

I've been thinking a lot about all the different ways developers can increase their income, and I’m working on something to help with that (course, resources, community). But before I dive in, I want to know—what would actually be the most valuable?

Here are a few ideas I had:

Applying to job positions & negotiating better offers

Leveling up in the AI age to stay irreplaceable

Starting a side hustle (like a small SaaS, automation tool, etc.)

Freelancing & getting clients

Building an online presence (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) to attract opportunities

If you had to pick just one, which would help you the most right now? Or is there something else you'd love to see?

No marketing, no selling—just trying to see what’s actually useful before I go deep into this. Appreciate any thoughts!

Please don't indent lines on lemmy. It causes the markdown to render it as a code block, which requires horizontal scrolling to read.

Use bullets instead: an asterisk followed by a space:

* Applying to job positions & negotiating better offers
* Leveling up in the AI age to stay irreplaceable
* Starting a side hustle (like a small SaaS, automation tool, etc.)
* Freelancing & getting clients
* Building an online presence (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) to attract opportunities

To make this:

  • Applying to job positions & negotiating better offers
  • Leveling up in the AI age to stay irreplaceable
  • Starting a side hustle (like a small SaaS, automation tool, etc.)
  • Freelancing & getting clients
  • Building an online presence (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) to attract opportunities
