Someone just referred me for a remote job in Canada. People ask me, "How are you getting these international remote opportunities?"
My answer is simple.
Take your social media seriously.
Most people are just starting their journey. You don't have money for Connects, and you don't want to waste the little you have. You're not at the stage where you can comfortably spend hundreds of thousands on Connects.
So here's what you should do.
Avoid distractions. If you need to deactivate some of your other social media accounts, do it. You might think they're not distracting you, but you'll be surprised how much time and attention they steal.
Focus on whatever is going to make you money.
One thing I've learned is that increasing the number of people you talk to increases the number of opportunities you get.
Even on my burner account, I still network. I still introduce myself. I still meet new people. I still try to come out of my shell.
This is something every beginner should be doing.
Every day, challenge yourself to start conversations with at least 10 people.
You won't keep up with everyone, and not everyone will reply. That's normal.
But eventually, someone will check out your profile, remember your name, or think of you when an opportunity comes up.
That's how referrals start.
This simple habit changed the game for me.
At the same time, be patient. If you know you don't have money for premium tools or paid shortcuts, then your advantage is consistency and networking.
Keep showing up.
Keep talking to people.
Keep building relationships.
You never know who will open the next door for you.
An Outlier account can only be opened by people in approved countries such as the UK, USA, and others.
It is usually straightforward.
β Go to https://t.co/WMnjsdBQTR
β Follow the prompts and fill in the required details
β Pass a simple video interview asking questions like your favorite movie (yes lol)
β Projects are paired with your account automatically
For example, I got the Aaether project, and all I needed to do to start working was pass the onboarding.
The onboarding contains everything you need to know to pass. You just have to read and understand it.
Also no pressure, take your time, you donβt need to rush and submit in 30
Minutes.
After passing the onboarding, you can start tasking. When you want to work, simply turn on your timer. Payments are weekly, I receive mine on Tuesdays.
If you want more projects and higher rates, upload a resume with strong skills you already have and you will be matched accordingly.
Note that the matching process is automatic and handled by Outlier themselves, so you may need to wait for an email.
So far, this is some of the weekly payments I have received working on Outlier in my free time.
