Default Some advice

If you are going to do this semi seriously you should probably buy your own domain name(url, website address). You go to one of many domain registrars and buy the name, they cost from about 7.99 to 10.99/year depending on where you buy them. And you are going to need some type of hosting package. For your needs you can get something for about 10/month. Don't skimp here , you need reliable hosting.

As far as I can see , your best option would be to use wordpress or another type of blog software or auto site. Wordpress is free and I am sure there are others available. To make immediate sales I would register at forums and reply to people's questions like I have here. You want to include your site address in your signature so people see it and potentially click on it.

Article marketing can have immediate returns if your article is good and you place it properly, but generally it takes a bit of time.

Ranking high in search engines requires links to your page from other people and because you will have a new site this is going to take some time. So for 20 bucks initially you can have a site , but the sales will be a direct function of how much time you put into it. And you would really need to put a great deal of work into your sites/s in a short amount of time to replicate the income you make at your job currently. I am new , but I don't think I am wrong here. The only way I can see you making an income comparable to your 10/hr quickly is with questionable marketing practices.

The article marketing is really the key here, and if you read some of the better articles here you will understand the general time frame that is required for it to pay off.

Hope this helped some.
