Hey guys, I know how to code in python, c, c++, etc. I am ok with learning anything (don't really like frontend, but I could learn it too). However, I dont know how to monetize this skill. Ive tried fiverr, but there are millions of guys there doing the same thing, so I cant get my first clients. Any ideas?
How to monetize coding skill?

Fiverr is wrong location. Try with upwork dot com. It's the best 'freelancer' type site, with the best reputation.
Once in a while it is possible to find a lifetime client or company there. You need to be really good at what you do.
Use AI and free video platforms, Youtube. Create faceless channel with animated avatar if you don't want to use your own.
https://github.com/OpenTalker/SadTalker
Use google trends and all other sources you know (ask AI, deepseek, chatgpt, gemini, grok) ask to list coding trends and sources to find latest fresh news. Do same research on Youtube.
Teach them something, show what you can do and make yourself a simple website with a contact form or your email and other social networks handles.
This will go slowly, but can get you somewhere.
For example, say: You can create free app $200/day in 2min
People would be like, ok.... even if it's fake, he got my attention. Boom, you got a click on your video.
Create a website that can create random apps, and promote it.
This was just a random example I made right now, this whole reply. You do the same with your skills = money.

Forget being a freelancer if you know how to code. You can build better money making projects, that you can sell services and products on. If you still want to be teaching then build your own course on youtube and udemy, and your site.

You could carve out a niche for yourself in areas that require specific coding skills, such as machine learning, automation, data analysis, or backend development. Specializing can reduce competition and make you more attractive to clients looking for experts in those fields.

Try building a portfolio with real projects GitHub, personal website and offering niche services like automation scripts or AI integrations. Networking on LinkedIn, joining dev communities, and applying for freelance gigs outside Fiverr (Upwork, Toptal, local businesses) can help get your first clients
