If you're able to commit at least 20 hours per week to work and can provide a home office form which to work that is free from household noise (this means no disruptions by pets and children in particular), you might want to consider becoming a home-based telephone customer service representative.
The three top companies in this realm of work are:
Alpine Access - www.alpineaccess.com
VIPDesk - www.vipdesk.com
Willow CSN - www.willowcsn.com
Alpine Access is the only major company that hires direct employees to work from home. The rest will require you to operate as an independent contractor.
You will need a computer, high speed Internet, and a wired phone line to make this work. You also need to be a self-starter and genuinely be able to work independently from home. Most of these companies do not pay for training -- consider it an investment in yourself. The application and screening process are fairly long, so be patient with it.
Pay will usually be $8 to $15 per hour.
Best wishes!
