What's a good way for someone to work from home?

This person:
- good at editing
- knows some html and css
- good learner
- typing speed of 63wpm

wants to make a living from home.

I don't think it's possible to make a living at home from being able to code (you say you know some html/css). Your best bet is to setup your own website, a content website and work on it for a few months, work on seo and use an affiliate like adsense to earn cash.

You could then do some coding work as a second line of income.

yeah, i think it depends on what "type" of living you want to make. is it services oriented or something like what robson mentioned?

You should open an online editting service, expand to other edittors, and have offer like a strict deadline type thing...

Student submit his paper -
12-24 hours later, student gets his paper back.

Target college students -your friend won't be able to handle all that work themselves, so they'll need plenty of edittors.

Charge accordingly.
