1. Search for jobs you might like to do 2. Read the skills they're looking for 3. Learn those skills. If that's not feasible, return to 1 4. Create some simple projects on Github to demonstrate them, and blog about them to explain what you've done, why you're doing it, etc. 5. Apply for jobs like the ones you found in 1, referring to your new portfolio. There's no point just aimlessly creating projects - make sure you do things that demonstrate skills that are in demand. Also, your projects don't need to be massively complicated. I got offered a load of roles just from a blog post I made about how to use a JS library that was popular at the time. If you have no formal training, you might consider taking a few CS courses on Coursera and adding those qualifications to your CV too.
