Helping beginners who is lost in all the off this?

Make some money as a beginner to finance the sites/tools? Tips and tricks what tools to stick to in the beginning? Is it possible to make some money from the code we work on anyways to learn? Finance while learning, all these sites eats credits, upgrades or paid plans to use them. Hosting, domains etc Im trying to keep it simple but im just lost, dont know what tools to use, hell i dont even know what OS to run or how to isolate properly. Im familiar with windows, ubuntu, Qubues, some CLI but im more of a GUI guy… I know i want to learn more about Python, automation and workflows to do tasks, some webbdesign and script to set up a business in the future. Now im just learning so i try to keep it fun and simple. Was in to security for a minute, we all know what a rabbit hole that is to fall in to, this feels the same.. To contribute a little bit and not just beg: Im a student so no founds, made an webb app XMR slot machine “one arm bandit”, classic 3 row, but that is not legal here because state monopol. So need something more main stream and accepteble or bit better etihcs than gamling.. I made a script that collected data (copy paste of public information where im at) What it did was to get company names and emails by zip code (site was built that way) Then made a quick webserch, for a filter example : big companys, young companys, finances, if they have a site and a quick look for improvment with the design or they dont have a site at all or lack maintance. Then the info was organized, put in to a document and sent to me, encrypted and storage locally, my idea was to rewview info and contact 10 companies every day, just let the script get 10 matching sites then repeat. But lost intress got the feeling its been done million times and i was wasting time (execpt learning) Never did anything with it, because, got lost in the security and hosting part, worried to mess up and hurt futures reputation. Any advice to give to us lost in this? Anything helps, programs, methods, what fricking OS to run or program to set up secure in. I know alot of people just read, so it not just me asking i know your help will help more then one person. Best regards
