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!

Personally, I prefer maximizing what revenue I can get in my working hours, make these hours not take all of my week, and use the time off to do creative and rewarding stuff (not start a side hustle). I know this wasn't what you were searching for, but for me money comes second.
