I think there might be people willing to pay someone to learn and use
their conlang. Not just to translate one lump of text into it, but to
actually learn the language and point out any difficulties they had
along the way. You would need to show a proven knack for learning
languages before _I_ would hire you. Getting your first client might be
tough, but once you established a reputation, someone could possibly
make a living doing this.

Creating a very basic bare-bones website is not difficult. If you have
sufficient brain-power to put these three characters at the beginning
of every paragraph: <p> then you can probably make a webpage. There are
places where you can put up a free page (although they are infested
with ads, they are adequate for getting your feet wet). This is a very
im****tant skill; if you are willing to learn it, see the tutorials
linked below.
