I was wondering what moms who are afficianados of writing do the whole writing gig from home? Where do you find your gigs and do you join any article contribution sites on the side to make some extra bucks?

I do everything from home at this point. My main focus is writing, both for others and my own sites that I'm building. As to where I "find my gigs", I work for two companies that I found through the digitalpoint forums. I also have several other income streams that I'm working on including affiliate marketing, Adsense content sites, photography and I still do some paid survey programs. I love that there are so many creative ways to earn a living and build a business online.

The internet has made is so much easier for freelance writing moms to work from home. There are several writing job sites such as http://freelancewriting.com. I found my first off line magazine article writing gig through them. I've also found online writing assignments. One of which is an ongoing assignment.
You have to be careful, however, because a lot of the writing gigs are looking to get away with paying writers very small wages. Personally, I stay away from those.
In addition to searching online freelance writing sites, I've developed a few websites and blogs which also generate income.
There are content sites such as Associated Content and Suite 101. I'm partial to Suite 101 because I've been writing for them for a little over a year and my monthly income with them keeps growing.
As pjworker mentions, you can supplement your writing income with affiliate marketing too. I haven't quite got the hang of affiliate marketing as yet, but my sites bring in constant revenue.
There's a lot of stuff out there, my only advice is to diversify and be patient.

I just started writing from home and really love it. I have picked up a few jobs from places like getafreelancer.com, odesk.com and elance.com. Another excellent site is genuinejobs.com. I like genuinejobs because they compile a lot of the freelancer writing (and other jobs) all in one place. I am trying to get up enough income so I can stay home all summer with my son. Slowly getting there!
