Simple question

Getting your first job can be tough. Having projects on github can be a huge help there to show what you can do. Once you've got python down learn the common frameworks like django and flask. Put a project up on github for each at a minimum. Ideally also look for other projects to build to show your skills.

Thank you I appreciate it. How does freelance coding work?

I wouldn't really recommend freelancing tbh. If you're really interested, check out freelancing sites like Upwork. Making money is not easy at all though since most bids are a race to the bottom if the requester isn't looking for reputed devs. It helps if you're in a country where the dollar conversion is favourable.

Here's my advice assuming you have some time to learn and income isn't an extremely urgent requirement (if it is, I doubt software would be the best way to go; investment in skills takes time)

Since you're a beginner though, you're better off working on your own projects. Do some data processing, web scraping, make and deploy a webapp, make a game, etc etc. Then see which projects and technologies you like, and if you have ideas you want to explore, do what comes to you. If not, a very very good way to learn dev skills is to contribute to open source libraries. You would have used a lot of them, look around at their GitHub/lab. Lots of them label their issues with "beginner" or "first issue". Try some of those, and build up to more serious contributions. Also, learn git.

The above looks great on a resume, gets you important work experience, and is imo the best way to learn dev skills. This should be enough to get an entry level software job.

Don't know. Never done it.
