I need to stop coding. Coding doesn't monetize.

It is not, however, a way to make money.

I've made plenty of money over the years with coding. Everything from HTML/Javascript, classic ASP, ASP.NET, PHP/MySQL, Perl, and SQL, to Java, C# and C++.

Of course the term "plenty" is relative, but monetizing coding is not always about being the best--it's often about the opportunities you have.

My advice is to continue believing that content is king; it is. You can be the best marketer in the world, but if you don't have content people want, you will not retain your audience.
