Starting small is always a good option when begging your online career in freelance work.

It comes down to doing the best work you can do. Once people see your work speaks for itself, you can start to raise prices on your services accordingly. And soon enough, you'll have a portfolio of work that people can see and take into account when they hire you for your services. Promoting your work out to the world also helps.
