Posts about finding work you can do from home?

There's been several ask me questions about jobs that you can do from home. Either I'm not searching right or just plain failing at searching for these topics.

Can you point them out to me?

Thanks

I answered one of the questions there, but if you're computer- and internet-savvy, you could do a lot worse than Leapforce or Lionbridge. I can answer any questions about Leapforce that anyone might have.

Likewise I'd be happy to take MeMail questions about online scoring jobs from ETS. You have to keep checking their pages and applying--the qualifications for each test vary significantly.

A lot of these legit work-from-home sites are US-based and only employ US or Canadian citizens. Does anyone know of similar sites that employ Australian freelancers?

This is sort of turning into an AskMe question as opposed to a MeTa.

I sent you MefiMail with some suggestions.
