What are some flexible programming side gigs I can do remotely?

You could look into data annotation jobs which pay around $40 an hour, although it’s super boring work. Just a heads-up!

Honestly, finding good side gigs in programming can be pretty tough unless you're in a location where the pay translates well to your living cost. Most of the gigs out there are just not worth the effort. I'd suggest finding a side project that piques your interest and using your skills to make it more efficient or effective. You might even discover a niche that pays better!

It's really challenging to find decent side gigs in software unless you're okay with low pay. The task-based jobs typically lead to more work than they pay for, and those companies often prefer to get something done quickly rather than waiting for a part-timer. You might find opportunities that accept volunteers or startups looking for a CTO who can help them without upfront payments. Just be careful with your time!

From my experience, side gigs are hard to come by. I work part-time for a nonprofit which I've been with for years, but finding similar opportunities has been a struggle. My advice would be to strengthen your connections at your current job to see if you can shift toward part-time work. That way, you’re in a better position to negotiate flexible hours.

Not strictly programming, but you can make some side cash with minimal effort through daily prize sites. You just log in each day to collect rewards— it might net you $400-500 a month with just a few minutes of daily work! It's a great way to get some extra money without taking on complex programming tasks.
