Hello everyone again!

Briefly about myself:
Beginner frontend developer, in the future I plan to become fullstack. I'm 14, +/- I know how to compose adaptive and work with JS. In general, I recently went to popular and not very freelancing exchanges and went nuts from a large number of applications for 1 order. I understand that most of them are also just newbies, but the number of experienced people is also very high. And so the question arises: What should a beginner do? Throughout the path of a programmer, I will develop more and more, but to be honest, I want to earn money on programming. For orders of the type "Website layout" people are overdofiga and it's not a fact that customers will choose me. Answers like "Come out of the poverty of the Junes" are not suitable. More precisely, I believe in them, but June needs at least some orders. In short, what do you recommend?

PS If I had the opportunity, I would get a job, but my age does not allow

I join the answer of Vitaly Karasik
At first, it is better to look for orders offline: among friends, acquaintances, etc.
Or get an office job or something like that.
Freelancing is a good life for experienced and accomplished programmers. The rest survive.

The workbench is not a june, do not confuse it, the workbench is a serious profession that involves a deep knowledge of the subject. And the workbench is not a prog, you also need to know and understand this. The road from the workbench to the backend is difficult and winding, not to mention the road from the workbench to the interprice.
If you want to freelance, go ahead and work. Find these pennies on a professional account and start adding your N + 1 to the N-th review on the order, especially since most of them are not junes but bots. Bring down the price at the beginning, work for 100 rubles, for + in karma. You will quickly figure out what's what and determine your price.
Well, you decide how to combine studies with your studies, your life is for you to live.

There are always customers on the forums, or friends of parents, or parents of classmates - who want cheaper.
It is worth starting with them.

Without having 3-5 years of freelancing experience, it is clearly not the best decision to go. As mentioned above, start with the projects of friends and relatives. At the beginning of the journey, you first need to think about the development of skills, and not earnings.
I would advise you to finish school, get into an office and work there for a few years. Freelancing is for experienced developers.
