First off let me say glad to be part of the community. I have just gotten to the OOP of python, currently I believe i understand the language pretty well from a beginners perspective. I have made a fully functional Black Jack game without tutorials of any sort for CMD. What should i focus on after getting farther along to make some money freelancing with python (bots, ect.). I am willing to learn marketing techniques as well if twists are needed.
 
You're not ready yet. Do some pet projects to show in your portfolio, nobody will be impressed with a Python blackjack game, do something more real-life oriented.
 
Im a begginer should i do a Game first ore like bots?
 
1. Find a project you think you want to do, scraping a site maybe?
2. Watch a youtube tutorial basically explaining how to format functions etc.
3. Take it step by step and google every time you get stuck, also good to have documentation of the library you're working with on the 2nd monitor.

Best of luck!
 
You need to first learn basic internet and networking stuff and stop spamming to reach 15 posts.
ok thanks and im not spamming to get 15 post you can delete, them i explore this site and post, post wich interests me (sry for my english its not the best)

I've seen people making money with Python either doing some data processing/mining/science or doing backend stuff with django. You can look up some info and see which one suits your interest better. Just make sure to pick one and stick with it. There is a lot of info out there. Just remember to stay focused.
 
I think you should learn data science/deep learning where python concepts are applied. You should be able to go the AI route soon and develop some great Saas.

Copy pasting some good courses here around Python. Please open each individual course and join each one after another as you finish each which will be free of cost (This is must or else if you join the course as a whole, it is chargeable) You already know Python ( you will complete them really fast trust me) So, it will really make sense to you and you will see a great direction. Now go choose your poison :p Send me a pizza when you develop something like Neuralink :p or Elon invites you for dinner :D :p

Deep Learning:

Note: I joined the the Data Science course above ( UC Berkeley one) recently and I'm on the second week, first module. If you join, please feel free to get in touch so we can discuss and enhance our abilities. It would be helpful for me because I'm a perfect noob in Python but week1 module1 has been really fascinating to me.
 
If you have the basics down, then i would suggest you to take a look at the 'Automate the boring stuff with python' ebook. It's very interesting and practical. Covers various topics like file handling, APIs, web scraping etc. Once you're done reading the book you should have a fair understanding of automation and botting with python which you can use to build and sell bots.

You could also learn a backend framework like Django or flask and start working as a freelancer developing websites. This would be a better and more stable path.
 
Data Science is popular with Python and is one of the most paid professions out there. But you need to be good at mathematics for this. As someone mentioned, start with django, so you could land a job.
 
I have done some webscraping, learning HTML and some basic HTTP protocols, Python libraries, ect. I have decided to get into web development, ill focus on both front and back end, moving on to CSS and JavaScript while learning Django. This is my goal, thank you everyone for the advice.

Good choice.

Is there a specific reason that you're sticking with python?

If you want to go down the path of web development, I believe there are better choices available for backend development like node.js etc.

I believe the security from using Django is much better.

Hey there,
I would be willing to help you out, send me a PM on here. I have been programming for about 3 years now and am proficient in Python (3, if you want me to teach you 2.x you're SOL), C, Assembly and Perl(RIP). I have quite a bit of experience with web-scraping, request protocols, deep learning, and more.

Ah, help would be great not sure if I can send private messages on here yet. Have a different preferred platform for chat?
 
You must focus on machine learning if you wanna bank real hard
 
Beginner Python: Web scraping (BeautifulSoup) and social bots (Praw, Tweepy)
Intermediate Python: Deep learning (Tensorflow LSTMs to predict stock prices)
Hard Python: Custom crypto trading bots, Flask apps that rely on multiple APIs/Websockets
