Looking for a side gig to help pay for school.

I don't want to build more websites after my day job. I would like to do something technical or related in some way though.

Any ideas on what type of gigs I should look for?

I just checked a domain name for an idea I had. It's taken and by a similar idea.

Would it be ok to go ahead but with the name spelt differently or would this cause a problem?

This is the one part of Web Development so far that has me completely stumped me.

For example I go to the API section of a site. I see the url that I need to use and the parameters. I play around with it a bit in my address bar and I get the data I want. Great! But how do I take this information and build something out of it then render in html/css?

I have tried looking up tutorials and things but there seems to many different ways to go about this and it confuses me even more.

Hi there I am leaving my current job a lot sooner than I thought and I am looking for something else.

I am scanning indeed and other job boards. Hope you guys can point me to some leads.
