Do you use Twitter? Well, anyway I have over 600 followers and I just sent out a message to this post so maybe someone will read it and contact you :-) Have you tried any of the freelance bidding sites? A lot of the work is for programmers but there is work for VA's too. The downside is that you bid on the job and the site takes a % if you get the job. Some just $5 and others 15%. I don't use them too often but I do when I need some extra cash. getafreelancer.com scriptlance.com rentacoder.com I've had the best luck with RentACoder but getafreelancer probably has the most listings.

getafreelancer.com

I’ve had the best luck with RentACoder but getafreelancer probably has the most listings.

I've done a bit of work with a RPG (role playing game) company. (Did some work after pitching a product to a company. Doesn't pay my bills but it does bring in a little income.) Dunno if you're intrested. But there's postings for writers here - http://www.enworld.org/forum/vbclassified.php?do=category&categoryid=4 Ok – one more thought.

I've found clothes for my kiddos at times I needed them. IT's a great community of giving and recieving.

Sorry you've dropped by at such a bad time! I've been totally unable to write recently with such a miserable time. I have looked into the sites, but so many of the 'work at home' ones are either scams or you have to pay for information. The pro-blogging ones might be better. Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated! Hey Mom/Mum nice to see you hear. Sorry you’ve dropped by at such a bad time! I’ve been totally unable to write recently with such a miserable time.
