I started it asking everyone i know "Do you need a website?". Eventually, some people around me needed it. I did my best for them and later their social network started to reach me for more job. I'm not sure if that was a right approach but i would probably do the same today. At least, let your network know you are making websites or any other programming "thing".
Also, you can create themes and static pages and sell them from the internet for passive income.
Did you build the websites from scratch or use some kind of service to host them? Asking because I want to surprise my sister with one but not sure the best way to approach it.

She's trying to start her own business. Ideally I want to make something for her as a landing page, just to quickly show off her product. Maybe have it handle sales as well in the future.

In that case, I would go for a basic HTML/CSS landing page, maybe including some sort of newsletter subscription like MailChimp. It's easy to implement that into a new project later on, in case she wants you to build a webshop or something like that.

That's what I'm doing right know! I can't wrap my head around the fact that people are taking 4$/h jobs from freelancing website when at the same time, the whole world is full of old, ugly, non-responsive and slow websites!
Most companies just need landing pages or maybe blogs - that's not hard to build at all. Using some simple frameworks and libraries you can build stuff like that in less than 10 hrs and the most clients will pay you like 200-300 bucks at least.

Depends heavily on what kind of website it is, I guess. Is it a blog? Is it some kind of web-app or maybe just a simple landing page?
