Work from home? (Good/Bad)

Hi,
I have more then 5 years experience in building massive online web games based on PHP/HTML/CSS and MYSQL. (Internet & Facebook)

Last game that I design.
Game login screen

Today I am working in bank in IT job and in my free time at home I design web games. Recently I consider becoming freelance and working from home and do what I love to do.
I was thinking to help others with my experience or work to gaming company but from home.

I hope you can recommend me how the best way to do it and share your experience if you are working from home designing games.
Thank you,
Olga

Companies want high experience and low cost. You have to get more experience (build a bigger portfolio) and you have to network. Scroll up and click the teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy blue "View Forum FAQ" link, and read about freelancing and networking.

It is above.
You have to scroll up.
It is small.
It is blue.
It says "View Forum FAQ"
If you can't find it, the game industry doesn't want you.

On my screen it's yellowgold, but I found it. Does that mean the game industry wants me?!
