can i earn money with this knowledge i have
Probably not

Having knowledge of something does NOT mean you know how to use it.

Can you code a useful and useable program from scratch?.
Could you code a module for a more complex application and ensure it integrates with the modules that are coded by others?.
Could you take someone else's source code and understand what it does?.
Could you debug it???

when you can truly answer "Yes!" to those questions, then and only then will you be able to earn money from programming.


BTW the above points hold true for any language not just C or C++
