Yeah what I would do if I were you, just to get some seed money to start out with, is offer services like article writing. Article writers are always in demand. If you write in good English, it will be even easier for you to find work most likely.
Check out the services section here and on other IM forums and on Fiverr to get an idea of what to charge. Then open up threads at all of them where you sell your services. You may want to start out with a low price just to establish yourself and get some customers. After doing that and building up some reviews, you can start to charge more.
Another good idea would be to check out all the popular freelancing sites and message people who are looking for a writer (or whatever other freelance job you can do). Some of the more popular ones are elance, scriptlance, odesk, freelancer.com, and a few others I can't think of right now.
While you're building up money through freelancing, start learning about other methods to generate passive income such as building niche sites, starting a blog, creating a product, or whatever it is you want to do.
I personally wouldn't want to do freelancing full-time as you're trading time for money just like a normal job, but it's a good way to start making money instantly while you research and learn about other methods of making money online.
After spending enough time here on the forum you will start to get ideas and find methods you want to try out.
Good luck, hope it all works out.
