There's two important factors to making money from skills: knowing how they can help other people get what they want, and knowing the related skills that you need. For example if you want to be self-employed it helps to know how to organize your work, how to communicate well, and how to show potential customers what you can do for them (without wasting their time). If you aren't already good at this it can take time to learn and get the relationships that will keep you going. If you don't want to go that way you can look for a regular job that uses your skills and hope your employer will be better at selling and managing; in that case you need to approach someone give them every reason to believe that you'll be adding a lot of value to their business. If you don't want to do either of those things a bartending job might be a good short-term solution.
