Earn $22/Mo with 1 Python Script

I Built an Automated Content System That Earns $22/Month Passively

TL;DR: I built a fully automated Python system that publishes articles, manages products, monitors crypto prices, and tracks earnings โ€” all while I sleep.

The Stats So Far

  • ๐Ÿ“ 11 articles published on Dev.to
  • ๐Ÿ‘€ 2,211 total views
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ $22.11 earned from content
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ 101 digital products ready to sell

How It Works

The system runs on a server and uses cron jobs to:

  1. Publish articles automatically โ€” finds trending Python topics, generates articles from templates, and posts them
  2. Monitor prices โ€” tracks BTC/ETH with RSI + Bollinger Bands, sends alerts
  3. Manage products โ€” auto-lists digital products with upsell paths
  4. Track performance โ€” aggregates data from all channels into a dashboard

The Tech Stack

import asyncio
import httpx
from datetime import datetime

# Everything runs as async coroutines
async def run_system():
    tasks = [
        publish_articles(),
        monitor_prices(),
        track_earnings(),
        manage_products()
    ]
    await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

asyncio.run(run_system())
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Key Learnings

  1. Free APIs are powerful โ€” Binance, CoinGecko, GitHub, Dev.to all have generous free tiers
  2. Templates beat LLMs for reliability โ€” pre-written code templates publish instantly, no rate limits
  3. Compound interest applies to content โ€” each article keeps earning indefinitely

What's Next

  • Hit the $50 Dev.to payout threshold
  • List products on Gumroad
  • Launch the course builder
