Nahhh, she’s good.
I went thru this list and saw legit companies who have hired people I know IRL here. If you’re looking for the ones with $7/hr and above, try Bruntwork, Hugo and Hello Rache.
Recently got a lot of DMs asking how I got a remote job. So here's what worked for me.
→ Pick one niche and go deep. Something you actually like, that you can talk about without running out of things to say.
→ Be consistent. Do what you're doing everyday, even if it's just for an hour. It builds muscle memory.
→ A few places to find these companies: YC jobs, Wellfound, Remote OK, We Work Remotely. Look for the ones that recently raised funding, they're hiring fast.
→ Find the founder or their employees. Get their contact, X, or email, and message them directly.
→ Keep it simple. Who you are, what you do, one line on why this company. Know about the company first, don't message blindly.
→ If you only want remote, say it upfront in the first message. Don't let it come up later.
→ Send proof of work, not just a resume. Make a Notion doc, write a bit about yourself, and drop the links to your best projects. Add a 2-3 minute Loom video walking through them, it shows the actual effort. If you have open source work, add that too.
→ Don't wait to feel qualified. Just start. But have a few good projects ready before you do.
→ Even if someone rejects you, keep the connection. Say thank you, end it well. I actually got referred to another company by a founder who rejected me.
→ Post your work on X. Doesn't matter how much reach you get, it still increases visibility. I was getting clients even without much reach.
→ It's a numbers game. Do cold DMs every day, make it a habit, not something you try when you're desperate.
→ Keep the consistency and the hard work. You don't know when the opportunity will come.
@afromixvibes@delayghana Sometimes the way some of you talk on the internet shows where you are coming from because the son of my Father i am, something like this will never fly out of my mouth even if it's behind a burner account
@CashewMast2794 I see. So you can't let the law handle it? If it was even the police that was beating them I promise I might not even be really triggered? You know there are bad nuts among every group. Some men among your own people might be using this opportunity to do God knows what. Well
