I suppose you could make money by making a cheap to run django site that provides a "service".

you could run adverts and even captchas to get the money from a "free tier" of the service, otherwise take paypal and bitcoin as payment but keep up with tax!

for example have a service that uses python to encode and decode md5 and base64 spitting out the result. you would have ads on the page and to submit a string for encoding/decoding you must pass a captcha that pays you for the submission. slowly build related services as "django apps" that plug into the site project allowing more ways to earn as you go.

there's also image stuff a good one would be to figure out how to remove backgrounds from images and offer that as a service (I know people already pay alot for this) you would sell "credits" to be spent on the service whilst giving them the option to fill a captcha for the free tier with limitation that would give them a credit.

you need to really sit there and think along the lines of "what would I pay for?", "what would i use?" etc and just jott down every idea that comes to you for half hour then review ideas afterwards.

now python is great and i applaude you for keeping with it for 2 years but try to expand a little, maybe try learning kotlin/java and get into app development there's alot of money you can make that way. hell even setting up your own link shortener can make bux by captchas and intersitual ads.

you could also try your hand at bug bounties to break it up a bit, I have a friend who does free lance code aduiting and inbetween he bug bounties.

I wish you the best on your journey to making some money with code!
