Developers On Medium, There’s One Specific Publication For You To Write For
$$$$ — with the potential to earn $1k plus per month even as a new writers
Since my husband is a software developer, indie dev, successful YouTuber, and online course instructor, I love to stay up to date.
This morning, I read two interesting articles from software developers for software developers:
Dr Stuart Woolley wrote a piece about the Post-Pandemic Pay Problems For Software Engineers and Denys Opria shared how he managed to earn $1,700 in January 2022 as a new writer.
This crazy combination of reads got me thinking.
You can earn some extra money.
Dr Stuart Woolley shares:
It’s already widely known that the only way to get paid market rates for your skills as a permanent employee in the software engineering industry is to change jobs regularly.
and Denys Opria knows how to earn some extra money — without explicitly saying it in his article. I asked him though.
Denys (as well as Dr. Stuart who is an editor) writes for CodeX.
What’s CodeX?

You won’t believe it, but you can go back to 2016.
Benefits of writing for a specific software developer publication on Medium
I told Denys about a friend of mine on Medium who writes about tech and software development.
He earns almost $1K per article — which is good because he has a baby at home and no time to write.
Anything is possible, guys!
So take advantage of the fact that
- the readership for tech and software development topics is already there. Meaning, when Medium was a mall, a lot of tech-interested people would go there.
- you can get noticed by companies and recruiters.
- you can rank on page one on Google in a specific topic.
- you can copy & paste (snippets of) your article and show your expertise on LinkedIn.
Final Takeaways
