Hello again after a LONG TIME

Over the course of years of failures i've gathered a particular set of skills and i'm wondering what's the best way to sell them?
Please note i'm already working as an animator ( the pay is ... well it could be bigger ) i'm just looking for extra income because the situation is not the best tbh.

Skills that i've learned throughout the years:
Adobe PremierePro - been editing videos on a daily basis for 4yrs ( gaming content, but i can do other stuff too )
Photoshop - thumbnails, bannersm painting landscapes, characters, IG pics etc...
Wordpress - build about 15 websites so far and i still have it on my localhost to test things and maintaining a few websites
2D animation - i've used different software's, either for animating characters or making explainer videos

I also have a fake FB account that i used few yrs ago to try out e-whoring ( sold pics to like 3 ppl ),
and i have an IG account that i'm not using right now since most likely i got shadowbanned again ( 3rd time this year ), it's a very niche account that i have high hopes for it - it's related to women.

Also thanks to one of BHW members i got a free domain about a month or two ago if i plan to do any adult related stuff.

So my hatters, how do you think i could sell my skills?
I was thinking of one of freelance websites but gave that option up, also thought of getting jr. membership here but it's a long way there and i can't afford it tbh with all the stuff that's happening in my life now.

Thank you all for the suggestions!

You didn’t learn from the failures? That’s concerning

There is nothing wrong with failing but not learning from them....

Skills came after the failures, because of the failures i actually managed to learn all of the stuff i know now
 
So a bit of an update on this situation ...
I was so excited to make a Fiverr account, made a profile pic and had all the possible gigs that i could do written down,
but when i wanted to apply as a seller that's where it got "What the ef man"

Why
  • do i need to connect my social networks
  • do i have to add my phone number
  • do i have to provide my education skills
  • do i have to provide certifications
  • do i have to add personal website
Yes i know profile has to be filled out 65% in order to "pass" so i can become seller.
Just to be clear, i do have education, working phone number, a certificate that confirms i know how to make websites, and yes i do have social media.

Any way to bypass this without adding any of the following?
 
Your skills in Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and WordPress are definitely valuable here. Many users need explainer videos or website designs for their campaigns. I'd suggest building a specific portfolio of 3-5 targeted samples for IM niches. You could aim for $50-$150 per project once you establish yourself, as these services are consistently sought after. Focus on showcasing precise results.
 
These are run of the mill everyday skills. The kind that you need to do everyday regardless pretty much of what your doing. There isn't anything that could be considered a skill. Generally when you list a skill you say "I am good at character animator software becuase I have rigged over 10 charachters successfully, and used them in a number of viral animations."

"i have a number of unpublished wordpress sites" That means you don't have a clue about the ins and outs of server configuations, and analytics. This is what people need help with generally. Its configuring things.

People aren't logging on to freelancer sites to "look for someone I can pay to organise and edit my personal instragram photos" lol they want to know HOW they do that. Most people want to do things themselves. If you make animation charachters, do you have a site of character assets like i have for sale?

You've made 2d animation videos, Do you have a portfolio of videos that you can list? Also the softwarem you used? Do you actually know blender, and adobe animate, toon boom, and moho? These are the 4 main animation softwares. You can't know all these softwares unless you've spent years in them.

TLDR

Experts on freelancer platforms have been in their chosen fields for years. Easy noob skills have no demand.
