starting as a back-end PHP developer? 06-19-2019, 11:19 AM

Hi friends 
I recently started to learn about PHP & MySQL and up until now I kind of did some small projects on my own and to be honest I do feel confident writing web applications.
However I'm now thinking about starting as a freelancer, do you think it's a good idea? Or is it still too early (since I've been coding for only a month till now)?
How long did it take you to become a proficient back-end developer? And how long do you think one should practice PHP before getting into freelancing?
Also I had the idea to start as a back-end developer by charging clients only $5/hour (since I'm a starter), is this a good idea (will I be able to get my first clients this way)?
