Hai,

What you could do to make money depends on what skills you have. If you think that you dont have monetizable skills, nowadays you can teach yourself a lot of things for free on the internet.

I once was in the same position. My line of thought was: "Ok, here I am with my laptop and almost no marketable skills. What should I do? Let us first make a list of what can I do. Fusion 360 - check. Adobe After Effects - check. Let me set a Fiverr account for those skills"

Then I sat on that Fiverr for a month and my stomach became quite empty with zero sales (for now after 6 months it is 2 sales already there for $30 total). So my next line of thought was: "Ok, there is an Internet marketplace full of people from around the world where I seemingly do not have any advantage over competition. What should I do next?"

And then I dropped my laptop, put up a screwdriver and went outside. Because no Indian or Ukranian freelancer will be able to fix a leaking tap for an old lady in Nazareth suburbs in the near future. And that was my competition advantage - an ability to serve my local area.

That's gold!

I'm tired of people who say: just pick any skills and get yourself on Fiverr.
Sure, a place with millions of people like you, where you compete on a few dollars.

Tho, if you want to have a chance, Twitter/YouTube and word of mouth are great for the moment.
