This blog has posts and articles from numerous authors detailing how you can earn money whilst working from home. It caters specifically towards women who want to find a remote career. It’s one of the most well known blogs and was founded by Holly Reisem Hanna. Whilst being a stay-at-home mom, she felt the need to try something different from the usual 9-5. She now blogs for a living, collating articles, tips and tricks for others who would also like to work from home.

Wanderful World
This blog mainly concentrates on freelancing opportunities and jobs for those who don’t want to work in the office. Whilst it does talk a lot about the opportunities available for travel when freelancing, all posts can usually be applied to people who wish to simply work from home. There are e-books and lengthy detailed posts for the prospective freelancer, but not so much for those looking for tips on small side jobs or hustles. The blog’s author, Lizzie, felt the need to make her own luck and not be confined to a graduate job after finishing university. She founded her freelance business and moved to Spain, working from home and also travelling.
The work at home wife
Angie Nelson was sick of office politics and life, so decided to start an online business from home in 2007. After always being asked for help from others seeking to realise their work from home dream, she started her blog. There are sections for those looking to work at home full time, part time, or even just small side gigs you can do after work in your spare time.
