    I think working at home (or where you want to work) is better than being forced to work some place else that you don't want to go to :)

    Hi, I'm a WAH mom and I love every minute of it. This home-based job puts food on the table and buys some luxuries for the family.

    I too work from home and pay my bills doing so. I dig deep into the webosphere to find work and look in obvious places like a company's website job board, craigslist and I use job titles to search from Google.

    The Internet phenomenon has opened new doors of opportunities for people like us. I'd like to be able to just drop my day job and get a full-time telecommuting job but I've discovered that to attain such a thing takes time. I'm on my way there but it might be a long road for me. Thanks for sharing.

    Many times people have to just make a commitment as you have done. It is working for me, too. Blessed. Check out www.ivc.ca, a Canadian organization that I joined.

    I started telecommuting 1 day a week in 1993, as a manager who needed uninterrupted time to do salary plans in a confidential place. I managed a large work team of 60 people and we had at least a half dozen folks who successfully used short term telecommuting to balance home and work issues. I now work for myself, full time, at home and I'm loving it. My daughter is exploring telecommuting as a new mom; I'm sending her this lens as a resource. Nice job!

    Sarah,

    Yes the great thing about telecommute jobs is that you can work from anywhere. There are a handful of sites like GetAFreelancer.com that you bid on jobs. However, I really am opposed to using those sites because you could spend all week bidding and never get a job. Seems like a waste of time to me. Really to get great telecommute work you need only a couple really good contacts and they usually provide you with a lot of daily or monthly work.

    Anyways, nice lens and thanks for sharing your information on telecommuting work.

    Good advice!

    Brett, every now and then at wahm.com people will ask if anyone knows of any place that will allow satellite internet connections - unfortunately they usually don't.

    The best thing to do is ask the people you're interested in working for if they'd consider a satellite connection.

    Good luck.

    I am a sales and sevice professional who is intrigued by the possibility of telecommuting. I have over 15 years experience in the sales management field and several years telemarketing experience. I am finding in my search that most employers are requiring DSL/Cable internet connection and unlimited long distance service. The long distance is no problem, however, as I live in a rural area the only broadband available to me is through satellite internet. I have not yet aquired this as I am unsure of the ability to obtain employment. Does anyone know of reputable companies that allow this type of configuration or where to search for employers who will hire with this type of configuration. I am spinning my wheels.

    Hi Sarah!

    I'm going to check out a bunch of your resources. I'm not a mom, but dear LORD do I want to work from home! It's so overwhelming and there's so much invalid or spammy info out there it's hard to figure out what's legit and if anything will actually WORK so you don't go broke. I, too, enjoy that "telecommute" button on Craigslist. I'll definitely start looking in other cities. What a great idea!

    Any other advice you have is welcome!

    Hey Sarah, I own 2Work-At-Home.com (in your random links-- don't delete me!!!)

    Great lens with lots of good information. I don't telecommute, but I do run a business from my home. As great as it is to work from home, there are drawbacks. I'm sure you can relate.

    Nice Lens - I have a website on Teleworking - my-telework-tools.com. Have poetry and songs sites as well. Telecommuting is certainly growing. Barb :)

    Nice Job,

    Another addition to the list of telecommuting sites, is Telepeeps. Most of the other sites appear to be geared towards work at home moms, however this site looks like it's for the rest of us: Telepeeps
