Python is the sure way to make money

COVID19 makes us realize that our seemingly secure job is not so secure. It could collapse at any time, leaving us in ruins. We look for new ways to make money, but this creates new problems because some of our ventures succeed while others fail, making us even more miserable than before. So, I’d like to share a sure way to make money without risking more. What exactly is it? Python! Why is Python a sure way to make money?

The Number One Programming Language

Python is unquestionably the best programming language in the world. If we search for Python on all programming-related websites that rank programming languages, we’ll find it at the top of the list, or at least on some websites that haven’t updated their data in the big three or worst in the big five. As a result, we don’t have to worry about switching to another programming language or Python becoming obsolete soon.

Simple To Learn

Python format code is very similar to basic English; no unusual phrasing will be used in Python. Python does not require its lines to be enclosed in curly brackets or anything else. To end a program line, we press “enter.” To distinguish between groups of a program line, we use indentation, which is very familiar to English users.

It’s so simple that a 7-year-old child’s brain is all that’s required to start coding with Python, and this isn’t special Python for kids, but regular Python. If we search YouTube for “Python coding for kids,” we’ll find several channels created by children to demonstrate their Python programming abilities; there’s even a channel that uses Python to teach children in South Africa aged 7 to 17. So, high intelligence is not required to learn Python; you can begin as long as you can operate Windows or Mac OS.

Python is so simple to learn that we can start working in it in 2–3 months if we have no programming experience and in less than one month if we have some programming experience. Part 2 of this article will go over this in greater detail.

The Market Demand Is Very High

Python has a high market demand; we can search for “Python” on several freelancer websites such as Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr and find many results. Some of us may believe that most of the tasks require advanced Python knowledge. On the contrary, most Python jobs require entry-level expertise; this is why, as stated above, we only need 2–3 months to start working in Python.

Several websites, such as Remotephyton and Djangojobs, are solely dedicated to Python works. According to Glassdoor, entry-level Python programmers can earn around $58,000 per year. If any of us prefer to do freelance work, we can expect to earn between $10 and $30 per hour. That’s not bad, considering we only need 2–3 months to learn, and no certification is required. So, if any of us are in desperate need of a new source of income in the next 3–6 months, I strongly advise you to start learning Python; you won’t be sorry, and you’ll see results in as little as 2–3 months. Part 2 will be posted soon.
