Quote - People who want a job find jobs.  Have you checked getafreelancer or other sites?  Lots of people need help writing simple web articles.  If you know 6th grade English you can do that.

I've been doing that for two months, making about a thousand dollars a month for a lot of hours of work.  For voice work I earn up to $300 for about an hour's work in the studio, and as a consultant I earn $100 per hour, but the work there has been hard to find.

  And in my case, my current boss saw that I had a decade in radio, so even though I was hired to do computer training, I'm doing a lot of voice-over work (at regular pay :-) when we have a content authoring gig.

  Seriously, if you haven't done it already, sit down and figure out what you're good at, and target your searches to that.  When I was between jobs a couple of years ago, I spent some time working on the computer systems at the local Habitat for Humanity office.  It didn't pay anything at first, but later on they paid me for a couple of larger jobs, and it was something I could put on the resume to fill the gap
