The best way to earn is to sell your skills (programming, translation, etc.), so you can see the service board from time to time, to see if someone need a Dutch language class or translation.

I can see what you're aiming at (I think), but those were just examples of what I thought I could do. Everyone is free to make the list of examples longer, and if so ... please do!
Not everyone has skills that can be used online. For example; if ones workexperience is in the field of .. ADR (alternative dispute resolvement). How would you think that could be made into a BTC-service? No matter how good a mediator one would be, it's not much use if the client is in Mexico, Iran or the United States, and the mediator would be situated in the Netherlands.
And I guess it's the same for if someone studied .. eh .. labor law, or would be an dentist.
And that is a bit what my problem is. I do have skills, but not the kind of skills that is asked for in the BTC for goods/services section of this forum (or any other I came across till so far).
But ... I can write & I can learn.
So, there must be 'something' I could do. Now, or in time. I looked at the services page. I saw that there quite a few jobs for writing articles about BTC. I would like that, but at this moment I don't think I know enough about BTC (yet) to do so. And it's my opinion that first I should improve my use of the english language a bit more.
So, for now I'll just keep on learning and reading about BTC, and try to make some short articles on a personal blog I made to help me with that. Hopefully, in time, I can apply succesfully to one of the BTC related jobs.
Nonetheless, the BTC for good/services section of this forum gave me a lot of new ideas. So, no ... I don't think I'll be bored in the next coming months!
