3 Side Hustles I Tried as a Developer (That Actually Make Sense)

Build Something Niche (and Useful)
I once created a stock image site called FreezyStock to host clean, copyright-free assets. I started with a few personal collections like:

Red Wallpapers collection
Car Wallpaper Collection
Spiderman Wallpapers

What began as an asset organizer evolved into a community-driven platform where contributors can also upload premium content and earn 30% from downloads. Surprisingly sustainable and useful to others too.

Write, Even if You're Not a Writer
Writing short blogs or how-to posts has helped me land clients and boost side income. You don’t need to be perfect — just document what you’re learning or building.

Automate Boring Freelance Tasks
Packaging small automations (invoice generators, email scrapers, resume parsers) can give you passive sales. Publish them on Gumroad, your site, or even GitHub.
