How To Make Money As An Online Coder 

When it comes to making money online, computer programmers and coders have always enjoyed a variety of opportunities to make money online. Due to the nature of the job, coders have always been able to work from home even before 2020. I made a video highlighting ways that you could learn to code online for free and now I will follow that up with where to find work as a coder. 

According to Zip Recruiter the starting salary for coders is about $45,000 per year, but did you know that the programming language you choose could determine your pay as a coder? Here are some of the highest-paying computer programming languages.

• Go $110,000 per year
• Scala $110,000 per year
• Objective C $110,000 per year
• Coffee script $105,000 per year
• R $100,000 per year
