Try to win a few projects on https://www.elance.com or other freelance sites. Bid only the minimum price if the project isn't too large (until you get more experience and projects under your belt on the site).
There's also http://fiverr.com, and you can sell almost any type of service you can think about for $5. Check the ones that already exist for inspiration.
oDesk.com is much faster / safer to do so. Elance is hard to score in my experience as starter, while my sister went, on oDesk, without any tech skills, from a few $/day to $100+/day and gets many referrals.
(If you didn't get it from the above; this will work without programming experience; you can write/translate/be an assistent/do basic testing/etc/etc. You don't even need a computer for a lot of things, but you will have a high phonebill or need to travel if you choose those jobs. Depending on where you live, there are local assignments as well, which pay out very fast and usually quite a lot as they 'see your face').
