There are plenty of options but I can't make a decision.

A long time ago I made money in the Forex market. At that time, few people heard about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. But when I tried to trade cryptocurrency, it turned out to be much easier and you can earn much more. Also, check here what low fees are now on the exchange that I use.

what options?

I am in the investment game and I keep well away from blockchain and anything crypto related. In fact I don't actively invest at all. I do so passively.
I put all my investments into the S&P500 index (same amount each month via direct debit) and just leave it to grow. It's not very exciting but the returns are better than 95% of other investors who think they can beat the market. Almost all of them fail over the long term.
I also invest in property via my primary residence, people claim this doesn't make you money because as the house you own goes up in value so too does the rest of the market. However if you choose the right property in the right area you can have work done to it, make it larger and then sell for a profit. I've spent ~£25k on my home in the past two years and had it valued - it's gone up by £50k not bad for some tax free profit when I eventually come to sell.

drcensor reacted to fisicx in HTML6 and CSS4?No, and they never will be.
It’s now just HTML and CSS. Both of these will have new features and updates but there won’t be a new numbered version.

drcensor reacted to silentstep21 in HTML6 and CSS4?I see some references made about HTML6 and CSS4 on the web, but I can't make out whether these versions are already here. Are they?

He makes money from adverts. His huge readership advertisers pay him to display their adverts on the site.
Like I said, it has taken him years to build up to this.
You create a plugin that people want and offer a premium version with extra features. I also offer a customisation service. Today I earned $105 from upgrades and £330 from a custom version. Total effort from me: 3 hours.
But....
This didn't happen overnight. It took 2 years to develop the skills and expertise to be able to quickly build the bespoke versions.

There are no top 10 pitfalls. Every blog has a different target audience and will have different needs.
Blogging is hard work unless you enjoy content creation. And you need to do this every day of the year - it needs to be new and fresh and on a topic that people want to read about. A mate has a Rugby blog and earns around £600/month from 25,000 readers. It took him about 5 years to get to this.
There is very little money in building wordpress websites (unless you are fast and very, very good). If you want to make money build themes and plugins. I earn a passive income of just over £50/day doing this.

drcensor reacted to rbrtsmith in Hello Everone i'm a Part Time DeveloperYou might have struggled to find work so far but why give up? I had to apply to loads of places to get my first gig. Also what have you done in terms of learning? I know people who've done bootcamps like NorthCoders, it lasts 12 weeks and gotten a job upon graduating.

drcensor got a reaction from Jo 90 in Hello Everone i'm a Part Time DeveloperHi everyone, I have played with code for over ten years and been trying to get a junior job with no success so I am now going to try and build websites part-time and increase my skill set, I would have loved to obtain commercial knowledge first but that isn't going to happen so hoping to find answers to all my issues from the members on this forum and help those with any knowledge I already have.

drcensor reacted to rbrtsmith in Worth Learning to use website builders?Website builders are fine if you are a new business or want to test the waters before investing either time and money.
Even knowing I can build a webshop from scratch I would still start off using Shopify to see that what I am looking to sell actually has a market and it's worth investing my time.
If you actually want to learn more about design then look at tools like Sketch or Figma and learn basics of HTML and CSS - don't use a sitebuilder.
Remember that design and development are two different things. Lots of good developers will pair up with with designers and vice versa.
