First learn how to use spell-check, first impressions are important. You need a reputation, the quickest way to get one and earn a little cash as well is to develop shareware and charge a small amount for registration. If you are good your name will get around plus you can legitimately list software developer on your resume.

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* The Business of Software: What Every Manager, Programmer, and Entrepreneur Must Know to Thrive and Survive in Good Times and Bad by Michael A. Cusumano
* Software That Sells: A Practical Guide to Developing and Marketing Your Software Project by Edward Hasted
* Start Your Own Software Company: A Step-By-Step Guide to Setting Up a Computer Software Business by David J. Cracas
* Web & Software Development: A Legal Guide by Stephen Fishman
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

hi Dev, you can develope a very profitable business on the internet. first what you need is a plan which includes the product your offering, advertising, website (including business hostings and suscribe with a safe transaction company like verisign. Its easier to sell online than people think, the services are great these days with decent fees. once you have everything planned out, search each of them on google, and write down as much material as you can. Check some other small software developers to get ideas. Im not a professional but im great at brainstorming and collecting information. I have done my own research for selling online if you need any other info, feel free to email me at AliSultan@MystriCorp.tk | hope that helped :D have a good one

The easiest way is to find freelance work available for software developers. I suggest checking out the following websites as they have a lot of work posted looking for freelance software developers:
http://www.guru.com/
http://www.elance.com/
http://www.rentacoder.com/
http://www.sologig.com/
Sign up with any one of them, and you can definitely find work.
Or you can start your own online business. You may want to read the article “6 Hottest Businesses on the Web http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/web.htm which lists six areas of the new Web that present new opportunities to small online businesses:
The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.
Here are the main business models you can adopt:
1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web.
You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay
2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or EuropeforVisitors.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:
a. Advertising - From the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm , there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:
1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.
Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com
Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com
2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.
Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/
Yahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/
Intellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm
Quigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm
IndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com
Commission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com
3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!"
b. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)
c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information
d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

Look for an organization that promotes development tools in the programming language that you are most competent with. They normally have a jobs board.

You probably can, what kind of software do you make? You will have to find people who need that kind of software and offer it to them at a reasonable price.
