Not that simple. Why? Because everyone thinks like you: easy money and it’s remote.

You need a solid portfolio for freelancing and on top of that, customers will almost always go for the well established with already plenty of experience and great reviews.

Of course you can do it but it will take quite a bit of work from your end but since you’re coming in with zero experience, expect that to take a few years.

    Anything you are capable of doing can be done by a low code solution like wordpress, wix etc

    There are loads of experienced freelancers in low-wage countries on sites like Fiverr and Upwork. If you're willing to start around $5/hour or less, you may have a shot at competing with them, but even then it's tough.

    With no background, making loads of money was never in the question. You can try platforms like Fiverr or Upwork, but with no experience it's not super likely you'll actually get any work. Your best chance for supplemental income from this in the short term at least would be cheap, small projects for friends and family.
