Beginner? not that much, you'll have to go through with the normal process of accepting those low wage jobs that you've mentioned.
If you want to do less but with that pay, one thing is to leverage those jobs. Hire someone to do it for you and split the salary that you'll get in there, you'll have lesser work time because someone is taking care it for you.
Others are telling this and says that it can be done so just rinse and repeat and do it many times. But it's not easy to be honest. Improve a high paying skill and you'll be able to make that.
I've read about such stories which seem to work fine with remote jobs (e.g. dev etc.) but often lack credible sources (i.e. people can talk much on the web...). But I get the idea
You only have to dedicate time in studying further about that. And there is a strategy that you can do like outsourcing if you have been overloaded but I don't advise this to a newbie.
You need to be an expert level to what you're doing before you pass on the job to another one but of course, with your supervision. I see people that does this, they apply and find clients especially in graphics and then after accepting such jobs, they'll look for an artist in the freelancing market to get the job done.
I'm not sure what others will tell about that but it happens.
