I never imagined how easy it would be to get started. After pitching a failed startup in New York City, I received a random email asking if I knew any software developers. I mentioned I was looking for freelance work, and that was my first gig. I'm currently working four and the offers keep coming. All you really need to do is go to startup events and tell them you're a developer. 95% won't want to pay you, but there's always a few that will.
I keep track of hours using freshbooks, ask for 50% of estimated hourly fees up front, and use paypal for payments. It's pretty easy, and I never even built a website, lol.
