   What "Work from home" sites would you recommend?
   
   I am especially interested in personal experience from freelancers and home workers.

   It depends on what your skills are, but you can sign up on Odesk.com or elance.com and sell your services.

      I already have an account in oDesk and had 1 job completed. Is eLance also that good in paying immediately on completion?

   It definitely depends on the types of things you're interested in doing. I've been a full-time freelance writer since 2007, and got my biggest kick forward on Elance. It's still a ton of work to get your foot in the door, but that's the site that generated the most high-quality clients for me. By high-quality, I mean the ones who are still with me, and a couple of them have recommended me to more great clients just like them. That said, Elance recently re-worked everything on there -- I hit a slow spot last month and decided to look around, and couldn't seem to find much worthwhile.
   
   Other than that -- I actually made more money on Helium last year than in everything else combined. It wasn't open-submission stuff, though, it was their custom content side -- I was recruited for that a couple years ago, but they're accepting applications for it now last I heard. If you want to write for a living, you may also be surprised at how many big content and news sites will accept applications.

      Interesting. Post a link to Helium please. I already know who eLance are.

   Are you a freelance writer? If so I use Elance, but also have sold work on Constant-Content.  I don't care for 0desk, too under priced on everything.  You have to wade through a lot of crap on Elance too, but I've found several good paying clients that I've kept working for regularly.  I would also suggest if applicable, using websites that allow you to build a free portfolio and/or developing a website of your own to highlight your work and advertise.  I get clients that way as well.

      Got about 200 articles in my 2 blogs already, but I am more interested in other kinds of freelance and home work too. Like remote site support, QA, game testing etc.
