I have good code skills and I get a good salary doing it.
How can I make some extra money? I am thinking about freelancing some weekends but it is hard to compete agains cheap devs in east Europe, India o China on online website.
Trading could be another solution.

you get rich if you provide great value to a lot of people and get lucky with your timing and marketing.
these three are essential, and 99% of apps don't provide shit for value.

Basically as I see it there are two ways:
1. Quality
2. Quantity
You make decent side income by just buying lots of shitty apps, cleaning them up a bit and then putting ads on then. This is quantity and it will pay the bills.
Or alternatively, you can try to make the next big app and sell it to a major company for millions. This is quality.
Both are achievable with diligence and patience.
One thing you can offer is better customer service. Yeah you may be an extra $x/hr, but you can offer better communication, more in touch, and a better program overall
