New Entrepreneur seeking advice on WorkingOnline

Hello Redditors

I've recently discovered that I enjoy working from home. Reddit's phone verification's, beermoney, etc helped get my foot in the door but it isn't enough.

I want to hear from WorkOnline

You guys are the ones who I would assume make a decent living off of whatever work you do.

I have some questions and please if you can give advice or any criticism I would love to hear from you.

1. How should I get started? (Is there certain websites where I can make money faster, long term sites that pay higher if I'm patient, etc) [What are my options?]
2. Any skill sets I should work on? My friend from IRL who does work at home said to work on my English skills because it can play a big roll on finding online work.
3. Is this reliable? I currently work minimum wage at Taco Bell. I don't like the un-clean setting and disrespect and the pace of my job. So I rather work at my own pace (if that's how this works, I'm asssuming depending on what job) If not at least a cleaner place (like my home).
4. Where should I look for work? I have applied at Apple and Google but never got anything back. Is there a website like Indeed but for WorkOnline only?

If anyone can also message me in Chat or DM with more Tips and Information I would also appreciate that.
