Hi Sharon, it's just like applying to any job. You should take the same steps.. apply for the job, follow up in a week, etc. Employers on and off the internet get a TON of applications (probably even more so when it's a work from home position) and just can't respond to everyone who applies.
Make sure your resume is up to date and reflects the skills for the type of job you are applying for. Do your best to follow up and don't get discouraged.

For the most part I don't get replies.
Don't give up, I just got a very promising reply today. If I can get a WAH job anyone can!

I agree with everyone here. Finding a work at home job is exhausting at times. There are several really big companies that hire beginners in the work at home industry so if you can start with one of them and get your foot in the door that might help. There are just so many of us out for the same jobs that it can be tough but if you stick with it you'll find something.
Also a lot of the jobs posted in this particular folder may be companies that are only looking for one or a few people for a position. Branch out into some of the other folders of the bigger companies and give them a shot.
