Market yourself as being able to perform tasks that can be done remotely, like writing, editing, sales, web design, translation, medical transcription, and customer service.[3]

- Pitch the advantages of doing your work remotely. Your employer will not need to pay for office space. Because you don’t need to commute, you are willing to work for less than competitors. If you are hired as a contractor, it will reduce their tax obligations.
