As a programmer, there are two main ways that you can earn money with CodeCogs.com:

Submit code directly to the site
You can submit any code that you have to the site at any time. It will then be reviewed by a member of the CodeCogs.com team who will test the code and proof read the documentation. Minor adjustment will be made for free, but if we feel your submission will take longer than 1hr to correct, it will be returned to you. Subject to approval your module will then be published on the site. Other site users will then be able to view your work and you will automatically receive royalties* for any commercial license that are sold. The price of the licence is set by you and can be changed at any time. You may also upgrade the licence type at any time. All this is done via the “Submitted Code Page” on the “My Cogs” tab (see below).

Bid to develop code for another user
You can bid to develop a piece of code that another member has requested. If that person accepts your bid, then you develop the software and get paid the amount agreed upon*. To view the modules that are currently wanted click on the “Modules Wanted” item on the “Contribute” tab.

* minus the CodeCogs charge. The type of licensing policy that the requester has opted for will determine the fee that we charge. For more details click here.

Managing your Submitted Code
After you have submitted your code, you can adjust the details at any time using the “Submitted Code Page” on the “My Cogs” tab. Through this page, you can also adjust the licence type and the price of the module. Please note that once a module is made available under a particular type of licence, you can not subsequently withdraw the availablity of this module under that licence.

If your submission is in responce to a bid, then you according to the terms of the contract you may loose control over the submitted code. However, you will still be able view the submission, and post updates to the controller (usually the person who requested the software).
