I read this article on the IAHBE (International Association Of Home Business Entrepreneurs) and I thought you would be interested. This is the work I do myself - a lot of the time - so please enjoy!
If you have a particular skill and prefer operating as a freelancer, you might be able to promote yourself on sites such as Odesk.com, Guru.com, or Elance.com. These are sites where companies go to look for special areas of expertise. Sologig.com allows you to find subcontracting, consulting, or freelance jobs by geographic location. Even Craigslist.com can be a potential source of job information, especially in an urban area and especially if you’re looking for something in your own neighborhood such as tutoring or giving lessons of some sort. Here, too, using the word “freelance” in your search may help narrow down the possibilities.
The following companies, in alphabetical order, are known to hire home workers or match home-workers with those who are hiring. Don’t limit yourself to these companies, however. Use the other ideas and links we’ve provided to find the perfect match for you.

Whether you’re looking for income to support your family or just something to help with vacations or special purchases (“mad money”), there’s never been a better time to find legal, meaningful work that you can do from your own home, but the job search requires just as much diligence and effort as if you were trying to get a more traditional job. Do your due diligence, be thoughtful and realistic, and take advantage of current technologies to snag a job that you find fulfilling and one that compensates you appropriately. It’s right out there waiting for you!
