Working from home can be terrific no matter what job you actually do from home. Working from home can improve your quality of life by saving you time, less stress, less office politics and more family time. Unfortunately there are some pitfalls to working from home though they can be avoided with some effort.
Procrastination (and the guilt associated with it) is the biggest threat to anyone who works from home. I can idle my time reading the newspaper, surfing the internet, playing a video game, listening to music, taking a nap and so on - and you can do all of it without worrying if some co-worker is going to pop in on you.

This can help me keep my desk organized and not have a million sticky notes and stray pieces of paper lying around. Organizing your work and your workspace can make you more productive.
So much of the pitfalls of working from home can come from lacking organization and having clear goals. You must write down your goals and set a time-line for them. If your goals are long term add a reward to them to keep you motivated. A reward can be a night on the town, or a day off or a large purchase. If you set long term goals also set short term milestones so you are able to track your progress.
