Go to jlcollinsnh.com and read “The stock series.” Great basic information. Investing doesn’t need to be complicated or fancy. Open an account at a brokerage like Schwab. I myself stick mainly to broad index funds. If you want to pick individual stocks don’t invest money you’re not willing to lose.

About to get about $10k from freelance. I have a full time job so my bills are already covered. Unsure how to split the $10k - got about $3k on credit cards to pay off, but no other debt.

Could do a bit of each of course but as I split it up it feels like less and less and like I'm not going to see substantial growth either way.
