Your next steps might be based on your career objectives. Do you want to be a self-employed contractor, or do you want to be a full-time employee. For the latter, I'd suggest looking at the requirements of job listings that appeal to you. Learn any skills they ask for that you don't know already.

But for what a contractor might do, it could be anything! Online catalog and shopping cart, inventory control, HR applicant management, accounts payable tracking, sports betting statistics, public outreach, you name it. Consider all the ways seb apps are currently used, and do you need any additional skills to create one?

And the kind of project a front-end or back-end developer would do are the same, they just do different parts of it.
