Hi /biz/, how do you make money from home?

I normally work with my hands as a carpenter or repairman. I also fix computers. But lately I fell ill and can hardly leave the house, and recovery could take a few months. One of my strongest skills is writing and/or proofreading, which I never used in my daily work. But I don't think one can get that job without a degree/work experience/qualifications. I was offered similar work by people who knew me personally, but I was working at the time and now those opportunities have passed.

So, other cripples/recluses/anyone who doesn't leave the house for months at a time, what do you do to support yourselves over that period?

How do I into working from home? I have a job as a web developer right now, but I fucking hate commuting to work. Are there a lot of remote programming jobs out there and how easy/difficult are they to get?

Has anyone here had any or know of any jobs that work and aren't scams?
