Do you know how to earn money online?

I’m not sure what to do, since I’m not currently employed by any company. I’m a Java engineer, and apart from coding for a company, I often feel lost. When I lost my job, I was terrified about my finances each month.

This situation has made me reflect on several important areas of life: my career, earning money, health, parenting, and more. I’ve realized that without money, there’s little I can do — which leaves me heavily dependent on a company. Without one, I often feel directionless. Unfortunately, downsizing is usually beyond an employee’s control, and relying on a single job is hardly a stable way to make a living.

I've come across various videos and articles that say a stable life requires multiple income streams, and that many new opportunities only emerge after leaving traditional employment. I genuinely believe that’s true, but I also know it takes time to figure things out and explore new paths.

Though I have coding skills, I lack any real understanding of marketing.

On the bright side, I feel like I’m finally on the right track — at least I’m starting to identify what I want to achieve. Do you have any suggestions? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Original Draft (Raw Version):

Do you know how to earn money over the internet?

I have no idea if I'm not an employee of any company. I'm a Java engineer, and I don't know what I can do except code for the company, when I lost my job, I was so scared that I lost my money every month.

So, there is a sense of questions I need to think about, including career, making money, health, parenting, etc. I can do anything without money, therefore, I'm so dependent on the company, without company I'm nothing. Unfortunately, the apartment downsize is usually out of employees' control, it's not a stable way to get income.

Some videos or other articles show that a stable life needs multiple incomes, and many opportunities will be in front of you after you leave your position, actually, I deeply believe that is true, but it needs time to figure out and time to have a try.

I have coding skills, but I don't understand marketing.

Therefore, I'm on the right track, at least I find out what I want to get. Do you have some suggestions for me? Leave comments below!
