Remote Work Hotspot of the Week

Remote.io is a remote job board built for people who work from anywhere.

It launched in 2019, ahead of the remote work wave, thanks to founders Tony Territo and Niels Vugteveen. While other platforms try to be everything to everyone, Remote.io does one thing well—remote jobs only.

The platform has a simple layout, quick search tools, and a global reach. It’s especially useful for tech roles, marketing, design, and customer support.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Remote-Only Listings – No hybrid roles. No commutes. Every job is location-free.

Verified Posts – Each listing goes through checks to help keep scams off the site.

Email Alerts – You can get new jobs in your inbox daily or weekly.

Startup-Friendly – Many of the jobs come from growing startups looking for flexible talent.

User-Friendly Dashboard – Designed for speed and focus. No distractions or clutter.

Remote.io also stands out for its pricing model. Employers pay per post—starting around $299—which helps limit spam and low-quality listings.

If you’re job hunting and want fewer distractions, fewer tabs, and a steady stream of true remote work, this is one worth checking often.

Now, let’s talk about the top 3 in-demand roles on that platform:

Social Media Marketer

Social media marketers are expected to grow audiences, drive conversions, and keep up with fast-moving trends.

It’s more than posting content—it’s about managing systems, tracking ROI, and knowing platform-specific tactics.

Brands want marketers fluent in TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn who can also run small-budget paid campaigns.

Tools like Buffer, Later, and Meta Ads Manager are must-haves. Bonus points for managing influencer partnerships and reading analytics to shape future posts.

This role is in high demand across startups, digital brands, and SaaS companies on Remote.io—especially those looking to stand out in crowded markets.

Customer Success Specialist

Customer success has become a core growth engine, especially in SaaS.

These specialists help onboard new users, solve problems fast, and prevent churn.

Great ones know tools like Intercom and Zendesk, and they can build smart support processes.

It’s part support, part relationship management. The best candidates also know how to spot upsell opportunities without pushing too hard.

Strong writing, async communication, and customer empathy are essential.

Remote.io features this role across many industries—from software platforms to education tools—all looking to keep customers engaged and renewals high.

Business Ops, Community, Account Management

These roles all focus on clarity, communication, and coordination.

Head of Business Operations builds internal systems, connects departments, and drives efficiency.

Community Managers create loyal user bases by sparking discussions, hosting events, and moderating online spaces like Slack or Discord.

Account Managers are the client-facing pros who handle renewals, feedback, and relationship health.

Each job requires a mix of people skills, strategic thinking, and tool knowledge—from CRMs to project trackers.

These roles appear often on Remote.io, especially for remote-first companies looking for strong communicators who can work independently.

This Week’s Remote Work Hack

Feeling disconnected—even after back-to-back Zoom calls?

Try the “Parallel Work Session.”

Here’s how it works: Find a friend, coworker, or fellow remote worker. Hop on a video call, mute yourselves, and just work in the same digital room for 60 to 90 minutes. No small talk, no agenda—just quiet accountability.

Before you start, each of you says what you’re working on.
Then at the end, take 5 minutes to recap how it went.

Why it works:
This taps into the “body double” effect—just knowing someone else is working nearby can boost focus, reduce procrastination, and ease the isolation that builds over time.

Plus, it brings a social edge without draining your energy like meetings do.

How to make it stick:
Schedule one session per week with the same person. You’ll build rhythm, get stuff done, and maybe even look forward to Mondays again.

Bonus hack:
Use a shared timer like cuckoo.team or a simple Pomodoro countdown to stay in sync without talking!

Oh, and if you’d like more side hustle and money-making ideas, you can sign up for my newsletter here.

Here’s to feeling less isolated and more connected—even in silence.

Try a Parallel Work Session this week—and see how just showing up together can sharpen your focus and lift your mood.

Let us know how it works out.

See you next week!
