How to go about getting freelance jobs?

Hi,

I'm a student, and I can't take a fulltime job.

I also can't move anywhere.

So, I'm stuck with jobs that are:

1) telecommuting 2) short term contracts, or part time

How would I go about find jobs like these?

I'm a pretty competent programmer and I would rather not spend my time on places like freelancer.com where $10/hr is considered pretty good.

TinyProj fit the bill perfectly for me, but, unfortunately its been shut down.

Where should I go now?
