Telecommuting jobs are often difficult to find. Most companies regard
telecommuting as a privilege that people earn after working for a while.
That said, exposure seems to be the key to telecommuting jobs, the same
as any type of employment, only more so. Networking help. So does
getting your name out in the public in general; you might try writing
for a newspaper or web site on technology issues. Since I started
writing regularly for a well-known web site (with a byline that
summarizes what I do), I find that people are coming to me with requests
to work.
