If you're just starting out working online, you should know, it's not going to be easy to make a living right away. Which is why it's a good idea to actually find an in-person job if you can, because finding that will help you further your chances working online. I would do online work as a side hustle, but once you find a niche you can tap into, that's when you can expect to find actual work online. It isn't a fast turnaround, you may need to find other work to hold you over until you can find stable work online.
