Be wary of the type at home websites that make you pay a sign up fee. Most of them make their money from people like you signing up.
Your best bet to secure typing jobs is to post a notice at the local college, grocery store or hitting the streets and visiting the local businesses in your area. Often medical related business may require extra help in typing reports and records.
The colleges seem to be the best bet as often the students and faculty members are always on a time line and under pressure to get things typed up.
Good luck and best wishes to you.
