Thank you! Sure! I'm not a professional, so maybe some people may differ in what I'm going to say, but this I what i think may be helpful:
First of all, explore: discover what you would like to do. What's that thing that steals your attention? Front end development? Back end? Databases? Discover yours. Try them all, and find the one that you like the most. Once you find that topic, start researching on internet about which are the most popular tools and frameworks that are being used for that special topic, and start learning one of them, until you master it. This is a important combination because you'll be doing what you like while using something that is being used by everyone, which is a great thing because you will find a great community to help you with all the problems you might encounter, a good documentation, enough learning resources, etc. And the good thing of mastering a certain framework/library, is that you'll feel comfortable working with it, you can write code faster and with less bugs, you'll debug your code faster too, and you will also know how to create a certain things with that framework.
While you are learning, start creating, document your work, your little projects, create a personal portfolio. A portfolio will be your presentation card, there you will show off what you've created in order to gain the confidence of future clients.
And one of the most important things: learn how to use GIT/GitHub. Everyone uses it, companies, professionals, students, freelancers. It not only allows you to keep your work organized, but also registers your progress and you can share your projects easily.
Google everything. Use communities like StackOverflow. Meet new people that does the same things you do. Step out of your comfort zone. Never stop learning. Set goals by starting projects (you might want to watch my new web app, it's in a post in my blog), they don't have to be really big or innovative, they only have to accomplish its main purpose: simpler is better.
Once you've done this things, you can start looking for startups to start working on a project, look for freelancer jobs, advertise your services on social networks, look for websites like Fiverr where you can offer your services.
I hope you find this helpful. Cheers!
