Looking for Tips on Starting My Freelancing Journey

Hey everyone! I'm diving into freelancing and could use some guidance. I'm interested in website design or coding projects, but I'm open to anything I might find locally. My experience is pretty limited; I took a basic coding class in high school, and I've started the full developer curriculum on FreeCodeCamp. I'm eager to take on real projects while I'm learning, but I've noticed that many freelancing discussions seem to focus on those with substantial experience in computer programming. Can anyone share advice on where I should start or how I can build my skills for freelancing, given that I'm just a beginner? Thanks in advance!
