Finding a work from home job is actually a job in itself. There will be some research that may have to go into what you are looking for especially when you may come across something that looks too good to be true. Luckily, there are some places online such as forums, blogs, search engines, online/offline classifieds and many others.

Forums

Working from home forums are an excellent place to get a wide range of information from those who have been in the work from home field for a good portion of time. This is where you can ask questions, find job listings that may be posted and also networking. You may be able to find a position in a field that you are familiar with or find a position that you want to take on that is new to you. A few examples of great forums to get information from is wahm.com and workplacelikehome.com. There are many other, but these are the ones that are popular.

Blogs

There are tons and tons of blogs that talk about working from home, whether it is about personal experiences, job listings, how to avoid scams, etc. Pretty much by doing a search, you can skim through blogs that are of interest to you that you feel can be of more help and give you the information that you need.

Search engines

This is where most people start out by typing in "work from home" into their search engine in which will
return pages upon pages that have these keywords in them. When doing a search, you can use other key terms such as telecommute and virtual worker, for example, along with what type of work that you would like to do. This will somewhat narrow the choices down a little.

Classifieds

Another good source for finding work from home jobs is through the classifieds. This can be either online or offline, whichever you feel comfortable to use, although online classifieds can give you more choices as well as a broader area for work. Some online classifieds that are currently popular include:

Craigslist
Indeed
Simply Hired

With online classifieds, you do need to be careful as there can be scams among the legitimate companies that will post job offers on them. One important advice that I can give is make sure that there is no upfront fee to work for a company, unless it is a home business. Jobs that offer you to work from home and ask for money are usually ones that may try to scam you of your money.When you find something that you are interested in, make sure you know most, if not all the details you can about the position. Usually employers may give you the standard information on the position and the skills needed for an applicant and there may be some that give just a small amount of information. By any grounds, though, if there is something that you are not sure of, send an inquiry if the employer allows inquiries so that you can better understand what it is they need for their company.

Don't give up

Most podcast usually will be around an hour or less and can give you interesting little tidbits that you may not know. While working from home, sometimes it can feel like a long day, however, if you are wanting to have something in the background instead of just quietness (if your home office does not require a quiet area), you can listen to work at home podcasts.
