it is not because you were not able to monetize it that you were clueless.
the ability to monetize might come from access to capital or social network. often to monetize you need to have money.
working a job or doing contracting is not going to scale. you can only sell a limited number of hours.
and what you can charge is capped by randomly decided on numbers made up by the CFOs or HR departments and by the crab mentality and aversion to organizing.
