Money making ideas for Geeks
December 17th, 2007 by admin ! 202 viewsIf you are a proud geek with some free time then you are going to love this post. Here is a list of websites that pay you for what you love doing i.e coding.
The best one among the lot is topcoder. It has weekly contests for designing, testing and coding. Go here to see the active contests. The prize money ranges from 500$ to 1400$ for one component. You read that right, you can indeed make 20,000 Rs upto 60,000 rupees writing one complete programme. The only problem is that most of the projects are in .net or java. Topcoder provides a rating to each member depending upon how many times you win in competitions among other criteria. If you can get some really good rank then who knows even google may come searching for you 
The other type of sites are freelancing sites. These sites allow companies in need of programmers to post their projects. As a programmer you can select projects that you like and then bid for them. If you are selected then you can get paid for developing the programme. http://www.getacoder.com/ , http://www.project4hire.com and https://www.getafreelancer.com/ are some of the freelancing sites.
disclaimer: I have not used any of the sites except topcoder myelf.
