Networking. You need to find poeple who are doing the career that you want. Forums Facebook groups, Discord chats, LinkedIn, wherever your poeple are that’s where you go. Join a group and see how other poeple are making this work.

I succeeded in my freelancing career by finding and working under some very good mentors. They gave me advice and when my skills developed enough, started tossing me some work and clients. It’s possible, but it’s work and requires a lot of soft skills.
