Hi,

I got a few questions about automation scripts for uploading stuff online/creating posts - while not knowing how to code myself. I'm currently at a crossroad, because I need automation scripts - but I cannot pay someone to write them for me, as that would be just giving away ideas and creating competition. As I would need to give step by step instructions on how to do it.

On another hand, I won't spend 6 months to 1 year of my life to learn how to write 1-2 scripts and be done with it. Too much time spent for very little use of those skills.
Social media posting/bots are easily available, but if we're talking about websites that are very unkown/not popular - and a script that would include posting/uploading in i.e 30 of those websites, where every website has a different system of how posting/uploading works - it would require a custom script tailored to every single website patched into one script that does it in bulk one by one.

This goes even further where I would need a more complex automation, where I would need the script to download something, run it through desktop programs, and then do schedule uploads. Basically re-uploading + posting.

I tried using chatGPT for at least scheduling upload/posts, but since it has to be tailored to a website, it is having a really hard time to spit anything useful- or I don't know how to guide it, idk. So far I managed to install python, VS code studio and requests/schedule PIP, and that was it lol.

Is learning how to write automation script easier than I think in terms of time spent for learning? Regarding my 6-12 months of learning time, let's say 10-15 hours a week.

I know this is a very newbie post, but if anyone has any tips what I could do about it, which way to go, or what options do I have, I would be very grateful. My most prefered option would still be to pay someone to do it, but well, I trust no one, in terms of whether someone will use my future ideas, so can't think of any way of doing this right.

Just because it can be done ,doesn't mean that you will be able to do it . I would just split the projects in to smaller projects and then post them as gigs/bounties on reddit or any other freelancing platform.
