If you think you have what it takes, then you’re ready to try out some of my little-known hacks for securing work-from-home projects.

Finding open positions requires anyone to tap their network. So, if you want to find remote work gigs, I recommend that you reach out to people in the industry.
My first tip is to determine who is likely to respond to you.

You will only waste your effort and time if you connect to people who are not interested in considering you for a position. Now, if you get nervous about reaching out to people, always remember that you’re just doing business.
Chances are, if they are looking to fill a position, your message will come at an opportune time. Here are some of the places where you can build your online network:
🔸LinkedIn
🔹Your contact list from your business email
🔸Slack channels
🔹Facebook groups
🔸Twitter
🔹Community sites like HackerNews, Inbound, and GrowthHackers

As early as now, you’ll need to swallow a bitter pill. It’s challenging to find remote work if you don’t have enough experience in the field. Some companies indeed take a chance on newbies, but that scenario is rare. Moreover, you’re likely competing with thousands of applicants
if you already have experience in a specialized field and you’re planning to transition to remote work, don’t burn bridges. Most of the time, the initial projects that freelancers get come from former clients, colleagues, and supervisors. There is power in recommendations.
Second Hack: Searching for Remote Jobs Via Online Postings
Many companies take advantage of online dashboards. The process makes it easier for hiring managers to find the talent they need and handle applications efficiently.

Perform this search for the sites i mentioned. You may not find the ideal results, but in most cases, you will discover some openings that may fit your preferences. You can also use Google’s tools to filter the results according to items that have been posted within the last mont

The truth is, it’s not too complicated. The process is similar to making cold calls, but you’re only sending out your resume. To maximize the chances of securing your dream job, i recommend that you follow these steps:

🔸Where can you apply your past job experience?
Let’s say your service involves virtual assistance and administrative work. There are plenty of companies that may need your service, but it can be difficult to choose an industry. So, i suggest that you pick a sector that you think you’ll enjoy working in.
For instance, you enjoy browsing through real estate listings and your favorite show is Architectural Digest. So, you’d look for real estate companies or agents that may need a remote virtual assistant.
Including a Link to Your Portfolio or Online Profile
If you’re a writer, graphic artist, or web developer, it helps if you collect your published work. Look for your pieces of writing, code, or artwork that have been posted online.
