Six years of frontend plus ComfyUI skills, still can't figure out how to monetize

A developer with 6 years of enterprise frontend experience asks how to monetize ComfyUI skills: half a year in (Krea 2 / Flux Klein, inpainting), able to deploy workflows as serverless RunPod endpoints, and having built an AI character pipeline with InsightFace identity scoring, a bad-eyes EfficientNet classifier, a Detailer workflow, and identity-locked vision captioning — yet with no idea how to earn money, spending more on AI generations than on food. A classic case of technical skill not translating into income.
