Which platforms are best for new freelancers in web design looking for small projects to take on?

I bought an online video course for learning Front End Development, but I'm getting tired of just watching videos, and I want to work and start making money. Right now, I'm pretty comfortable putting together simple Wordpress or Dreamweaver websites. I'm not comfortable doing complex projects because I feel I don't know enough if something breaks, but I could do small sites for clients who aren't picky. How do I find clients who need small basic websites with smaller budgets who aren't super picky?
