I would like advice on how to go about setting up for and getting side work.
I have done this in the past and am currently working on a side job. The problem with the current side job and other side jobs I have done are that they are geared towards software completion and commision from sales.
The first side job I had was creating a system for a Dominos Pizza. Dominos found out about it and before I completed it they added required features and an unreasonable target date.
My current side job is going well but, it is not steady, the specs are unclear and sales are definitely far in the future.
I would like to get setup with the type of work where you are paid on an hourly basis. I worked as a consultant for McAfee in their QA department. Every 2 weeks submit a bill and get paid.
Does anyone have any advice on where and how to get started?

Since I have a full time job, I would prefer if this was mostly from home.

Does anyone currently do this?

Thanks
Gary
