Hey there,



Last week I spoke with a small business owner who was drowning in

spreadsheets.



Every Friday night, she sat there copying rows from Excel into

Google Sheets by hand.



She also had to reply to the same 200 emails every single week.



To her, it felt like torture...



But to you, it should look like $1,000 waiting to be picked up.



Here’s the reality…



Small businesses do not care about giant apps…



What they really care about is saving time and cutting out

busywork.



And with Python plus AI, you can ship those fixes in days or even

hours and get paid for it.



One of my students just proved it…



He built a small script for a local shop that auto-generated

their weekly sales reports.



It only took him one weekend…



Then the shop owner paid him $750 up front and $200 every month

to keep it running.



He told me that the first payment felt better than any coding

tutorial he’d ever finished because it was real.



That's just one example. Here are more ways devs are cashing in

right now...



* Lead scraper → $500 to $1k. One script finds emails and sends

outreach faster than any intern.

​

* AI email bot → $3k and up. It handles customer replies 24/7 and

never asks for time off.

​

* App integrations → about $1.5k. Connect Notion, Slack, and

Sheets. No more late night copy and paste.

​

* Maintenance retainer. Quiet recurring income for keeping small

automations alive.

​

* Your first paying client. Priceless. Nothing beats getting paid

for code you wrote.



This is not a theory...



It is happening right now...



The devs who move first are the ones making big money in 2025.



So stop coding just for practice…



Start coding to solve problems people actually pay for...



Look around… every repetitive task you see in a business could be

your first paid project…



Before this weekend, write down three boring tasks you’ve seen

someone do by hand.



Then ask yourself one question: "Could I turn this into a sim
