Hot tip: to use this resource most effectively, search it by hitting ‘Ctrl-F’ or ‘Command-F’ on your keyboard (or use the ‘Find on page’ function on your smartphone), then enter a word or phrase that’s relevant to you, such as “accounting”, “India,” or “freelance.”
1. FlexjobsIndustries: Various
Search tips: Although you have to pay for access to FlexJobs, it’s worth searching the web to see if you can find a discount code to minimize the cost — and remember to cancel your subscription once you have a role secured.
The Upshot: Although conventional jobs sites offer plenty of remote options these days, some companies are more dedicated than others — instead of sifting through them yourself, why not go to a jobs hub focused on firms that champion remote working instead of tolerating it?

3. ZipRecruiterIndustries: Various
Search tips: Although you can’t use “remote” as a location and you have to enter in a city, don’t sweat it — just choose a major city in your country and you’ll most likely be able to find opportunities to work virtually.
The Upshot: ZipRecruiter has millions of jobs on its platform at any one time, so if you can’t find something suitable here, you might want to check that the role in your head really exists! There are also quick-apply options to make the process as easy as possible.
4. JobspressoIndustries: Graphic Design, Development, Marketing, Project Management, Sales, Support, and Writing
Search tips: Every role here is remote, so leave the “location” field blank or specify your country (although this option could result in you missing some roles since companies use this field differently).
The Upshot: Since all the opportunities offer home working, go ahead and dedicate yourself to finding the role of your dreams instead of worrying about where you can do it from. With a focus on modern, technology-focused roles, this is a great place to start your search.

6. SimplyHiredIndustries: Various
Search tips: Enter “remote” into the location field to narrow down your search. If you’re not sure exactly what type of job you want to do yet, try entering your skills as a keyword instead of a job title.
The Upshot: SimplyHired scours the internet for job adverts and puts the best of them on its website for your browsing. There are plenty of filters and search options, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to find your ideal role here.
7. ProbloggerIndustries: Ghostwriting, Editing, Blogging, and Copywriting
Search tips: Speed is of the essence when it comes to Problogger — there are only a few new posts each day, and they get a LOT of applicants. Check the site frequently for new listings and apply as quickly as possible.
The Upshot: ProBlogger is the best-known job board for freelance writers and editors for a reason. There are multiple adverts posted every day, making it the perfect option for anyone looking for contract or one-off jobs in the field.
8. Toptal Industries: Various.
Search tips: Toptal only accepts the top 3% of freelance talent, so make sure you take your application seriously. Having a solid LinkedIn profile and portfolio helps to stand out, so we recommend getting some experience elsewhere before you try your luck.
The Upshot: Considering Toptal positions itself as an elite platform, it’s the perfect place to land yourself some high-quality clients that pay well. You’ll be most in-demand if you’re a skilled professional in an area like finance, development, product management, and design.
9. Remote.coIndustries: Various
Search tips: Sign up for the free daily job alerts email in your categories of interest to ensure the best opportunities don’t pass you by.
The Upshot: You can always count on a job board with “remote” in the title to offer some promising home working options, and Remote.co doesn’t disappoint. Whether you’re after a position in sales, development, or design, just click on the field you’re interested in and browse recent listings with instructions on how to apply.
10. The MuseIndustries: Engineering, Marketing, Technology, and IT
Search tips: Filter jobs by “remote/flexible only” to find the best work-from-home jobs. But check the job description for each one before you get too excited — some of the roles are only available for those who have the right to work in the United States.
The Upshot: We like The Muse because it goes way beyond providing job opportunities — the platform also sheds some light on what it’s really like to work inside each company, providing spotlights on their employees, cultures, and perks.
11. TruelancerIndustries: Various
Search tips: Don’t feel like you have to apply for every job posted, especially if you’re not happy with the payment. Instead, choose the projects you have the right skills and experience for, and ask for what you feel you deserve. It doesn’t have to be a race to the bottom unless you allow that to happen.
The Upshot: If you couldn’t guess from the name, Truelancer is all about freelancing. Clients post projects, you make a proposal, and you’ll receive the money after delivering. It’s not as popular as other freelance platforms, which means less competition but also fewer opportunities. Go figure.
12. Remote JobsIndustries: Design and programming
Search tips: Using Remote Jobs is pretty self-explanatory — just browse through the recent posts. But consider signing up for daily or weekly job updates if you want to be kept in the loop.
The Upshot: The title of this job site couldn’t be much clearer. Browse through a range of remote design and programming positions, with a few new jobs posted each day. Most of the adverts are cross-posted from other sites, but this is a great resource for anyone who is only looking for a design-related role.
13. BehanceIndustries: Design and creative
Search tips: Although you can’t filter by virtual positions, searching for “remote” as a keyword will help you identify them. And have a kickass portfolio at the ready!
The Upshot: Behance is primarily a social media platform that allows creatives to showcase their work to the world, but it also has a section dedicated to jobs in the creative industry, many of which are remote.

37. Amazon MTurkIndustries: Various.
Search tips: Calculate the rough pay-per-hour of each task before you agree to do it. Over time, you’ll get better at recognizing more profitable opportunities, and you’ll be able to do the calculations effortlessly in your head.
The Upshot: MTurk is a crowdsourcing site made for businesses to delegate simple and repetitive tasks to a willing, on-demand, 24/7 global workforce. Think data entry and surveys. The work might have a reputation for being low-paid and tedious, but you can earn more than most people realize once you know what you’re doing.
38. Media BistroIndustries: Writing, Editing, Marketing, and Creative.
Search tips: As soon as you head to the job listings, you’ll see an option to filter by remote jobs only. These tend to be more related to marketing rather than journalism, but you might just get lucky.
The Upshot: The media industry is notorious for being tough to get into, but MediaBistro aims to make it as easy as possible for you. Most opportunities here relate to writing and editing, and some are even from prestigious companies like Bloomberg and CNN.
39. FreelancerIndustries: Various.
Search tips: Look out for jobs posted by verified users — these are the clients who have connected a legitimate payment method. Taking extra precautions is always smart on a free-for-all platform like this.
The Upshot: Freelancer is a site that connects freelancers and clients across a variety of areas — mostly typical freelance skills like web development, graphic design, and writing. But there’s a bit of everything, so you never know what you could find.
40. FiverrIndustries: Various.
Search tips: Fiverr is different from other similar freelance platforms because you don’t need to bid or send proposals — just post your services as if they were products. To increase your chances of getting some bites, use high-quality images and base your gigs on what your most successful competitors are doing.
The Upshot: If you want to kickstart your career as a freelancer, there are worse ways to get started than heading to one of the world’s biggest gig economy platforms. While it’s mostly used for the most common freelance pursuits, like copywriting and voiceovers, you can advertise services in just about everything on Fiverr, from fortune-telling to cooking lessons.
41. GuruIndustries: Various.
Search tips: Free members of Guru only get 10 free monthly bids per month, and you can’t carry them over if you don’t use them. So, choose the projects you apply for wisely and make sure you “use up” your free bids each month.
The Upshot: Guru is yet another freelance platform that provides a place for companies or individuals to post jobs for freelancers to bid on. It’s not quite as popular as the likes of Fiverr and Freelancer, but it’s worth checking out if you’re struggling to gain traction on the others.
42. UpworkIndustries: Various.
Search tips: Upwork can be tough to get started on initially, so expect to accept a few low-value jobs while you build up your profile and reviews. But be careful not to stay in Planet Cheap for too long — position yourself as a high-quality freelancer through a great portfolio of work or choosing a specialism.
The Upshot: Some love Upwork and others hate it. It’s a huge freelancing network with new jobs posted constantly, and plenty of freelancers on the platform make more than $100 per hour, but many users submit endless proposals with minimal success. You’ll never know which side you’ll fall on if you don’t try!
43. Hubstaff TalentIndustries: Various.
Search tips: All the jobs here are remote, which leaves you to focus on finding the right fit for you. A lot of the opportunities are low-paid, so we recommend filtering by pay rate to ensure you don’t end up disappointed.
The Upshot: Hubstaff provides software for productivity and workforce management, and part of its offering is a hub that connects freelancers with the companies who need them. Unlike other similar platforms, there are no fees involved (for you or the job posters), which is a massive plus.
44. People per HourIndustries: Various.
Search tips: You can either bid for projects or wait for clients to contact you based on your profile (or a bit of both). Choose a good profile picture and a clear, concise summary line since this is what companies will see when they browse through the search results.
The Upshot: People per Hour differentiates itself from other freelance sites because (you guessed it) all the projects are paid per hour. The most popular areas are programming, design, marketing, writing, and social media.
45. Rat Race RebellionIndustries: Various.
Search tips: In addition to checking out the list of new jobs posted, don’t forget to check out Rat Race Rebellion’s ultimate list of companies that are continuously hiring. You can quickly see the field, requirements, and type of work each one offers.
The Upshot: This site has been leading the work-from-home revolution ever since 1999, so it’s fair to say that the team knows what they’re doing. Rebelling against the rat race has never been easier!
46. 99DesignsIndustries: Design.
Search tips: You’ll need to file an application to be able to receive projects, and depending on the quality of the designs you submit, you’ll be assigned a level. So, make sure you brush up on your design skills before you start your search!
The Upshot: If you’re a freelance graphic designer, 99designs offers a unique way to find work: by competing with up to 99 other designers in a “contest” and winning a prize if yours gets chosen. The arrangement isn’t perfect for everyone, but it’s certainly a novelty.
47. BloggingProIndustries: Blogging and Writing.
Search tips: Filter opportunities based on whether you’re interested in freelance, full-time, part-time, or temporary positions.
The Upshot: Not to be confused with ProBlogger, BloggingPro is a job board centered around opportunities for writers. There are only a few new listings each week, but they tend to be high-quality opportunities with respected companies.
48. Freelance Writing Jobs (FWJ)Industries: Writing, Editing, and Publishing.
Search tips: Check out the bulletin published each weekday to get a rundown of the best opportunities available. You can save even more time by skipping to the type of writing you’re most interested in (e.g., technical writing or editing).
The Upshot: Freelance Writing Jobs does what it says on the tin: compiles a range of jobs related to freelance writing. While all of the opportunities are taken from other job boards, it does a good job of finding the top picks with decent pay to save you the effort.
49. All Freelance WritingIndustries: Writing.
Search tips: Check the job board every day to make sure you don’t miss any new opportunities — writing can be competitive, but the early bird gets the worm.
The Upshot: All Freelance Writing is a must-visit for all aspiring or experienced writers. You can also post your profile as a writer directly on the site for potential clients to see (though there’s a moderate fee of $24.95).
50. Freedom with WritingIndustries: Writing.
Search tips: Although you can browse some opportunities from the website, the least confusing way to find out about new writing jobs is to subscribe to the Freedom with Writing newsletter (or, as they call it, the magazine).
The Upshot: Freedom with Writing is more than just a job board — it’s also a hub with tonnes of useful resources related to launching a successful career as a freelance writer. Whether you want to become a profitable fiction writer or a professional journalist, you’ll find the listings and information to help you here.

75. IndeedIndustries: Various.
Search tips: Type “remote” into the location field to ensure you only find positions that let you work from home.

76. GlassdoorIndustries: Various.
Search tips: When it’s time to choose your location, select the “remote” option (you can also receive automatic email alerts about remote jobs).

77. LinkedInIndustries: Various.

Search tips: Since this is a freelance site, practically every job posted is remote work, but there are two ways to double-check this. Either click on an ad and cast attention to the “location” field or search for “remote” as a keyword (but bear in mind this will filter out some relevant postings).
