getting started in web development freelancing.

I'm a college guy, I have made projects using HTML, CSS, JS, nodejs, MongoDB, Reactjs, see here. I'm more comfortable with the frontend. I want to get started in freelancing but things are little confusing, I know about upwork.com, fiverr.com. After seeing demo projects of many freelancers in those websites I think I can make them easily.

My main points of confusions are:-

  • How will they pay me?
  • what to charge in the beginning?
  • What are some good niches that have smaller projects? (eg: making landing pages)
  • I think most of the backend is made with PHP, MYSQL at least in freelancing. really?
  • where should I start, (one website, offline, many websites)

P.S. I have done an internship.
