Making Money as a Blockchain Developer
As a blockchain developer, you are required to build applications, smart contracts, and tokens on existing platforms. You are required to handle front-end and back-end designs, development, and maintenance.
How to start?
You start by learning languages used in blockchain technology. Golang is one of the most popular languages for building a blockchain. However, you should start by learning Solidity. You will also have to learn other languages like Java, Python, etc. So, basically, you start by learning how to code.
Making Money as an NFT Creator
NFT is a media (image and video) stored in blockchain. NFT creates value for your artwork.
NFTs have drastically changed the market for digital media by establishing the ownership of digital media through blockchain. Integration of blockchain in digital media has also made the transfer of ownership easy. NFT allows the owner to create markets for a variety of products.
NFTs are not just silly-looking artworks in the blockchain, if the creator of the NFT wants, he can enable features in the NFT that will let the owner use it for various purposes like gaining access to certain events (just like an entry pass) have access to certain merchandise (buy other products), get discounts on certain things, etc.
NFT creators can also add value to their NFTs by giving additional tokens to the NFT holders allowing them to become an investor, shareholders of the brand, exclusive members of the club, a member of the loyalty program, etc.
NFT creation is a high-demand skill on a freelance marketplace like Fiverr, NFT creators are charging very high prices for NFT creation. The NFT service sold through Fiverr is basically a digital art creation. NFT is a digital media (digital art, digital illustration, digital photo, video, etc.) on the blockchain, in order to convert a random digital media into an NFT it should first be minted on a blockchain platform. The most popular one is Ethereum but Polygon and Solana are also becoming popular platforms for minting NFT. If you are selling an NFT creation service, you are basically selling a digital art service where you will design or draw digital art, illustration, painting, etc. for the clients. You can either create one digital art and sell it, or create hundreds of arts on a similar theme and make a lot of money selling NFT collections. If you are good at graphic designing, this is the job for you.
Making Money as a Blockchain Developer on HYVE
HYVE is a freelancing platform for people with a high level of skills mainly in programming and blockchain development. HYVE is not a platform for general skill freelancers, it is reserved for someone with high skills (if you intend to join the platform to make money). Can you make a bot, can you create a smart contract, can you build an NFT, and can you build any blockchain-related project? If your answer is yes, you can join the platform and start working on the available jobs. HYVE is similar to Fiverr and Upwork, but the only difference is while Fiverr and Upwork are centralized freelance marketplace HYVE is a decentralized freelancing marketplace based on blockchain. HYVE uses Ethereum and Polygon blockchain. HYVE also pays through crypto. If crypto is not available in your country or if you do not want to use crypto because of its volatile nature you may not find this platform very useful. If you are highly professional you will find that the platform lacks enough jobs for you that's because there are not many clients offering jobs as this is a new platform.
HYVE can give financial freedom to programs and blockchain developers. HYVE is a platform for highly skilled professionals having knowledge of blockchain because the jobs on this platform are related to building bots, building smart contracts, building tokens, etc. HYVE might have a low fee but there are also not enough tasks at the moment. However, there are also few sellers, which means you still have a chance of making money as the competition is low.
