user56081: or how exactly do I get transactions fees? Can I get transactions fees as a solo miner?

user48884: Transaction fees are part of the block reward, so if you want to get the transaction fees for a block, you must be the person to mine the block. Anyone can mine a block, and even quickly if they get extremely lucky. However, as a solo miner, unless you have invested in millions of dollars of ASIC miners to get a non-negligible percentage of the network hashrate, you likely won't be mining a block in your lifetime, or even in the lifetime of the universe.
