Are you in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere? Because there's nearly always a number of web designers out there serving even small-ish towns, sometimes even a shop or two. These designers are always looking for web programmers, because the freelance guys they use come and go. If you're a halfway decent coder, you'll have 80% of the small-town freelance market beat, and the other 20% will already have remote gigs. Sure, 90% of your work will be laying out HTML/CSS, in my experience, designers are terrible at it, but it beats flipping burgers.
