For many people, remote work offers substantial advantages over those that require you to report to an in-person office. Fewer potential distractions, no commute, and greater flexibility are enticing benefits, but how can you increase your chances of finding this type of work in 2024?

Check out the following tips and tricks for helping you land a remote position this year:

Don’t lock yourself into your current industry and specialty.

Opening yourself up to a different industry and specialty can increase your chances of scoring a remote job. Some jobs are often more remote-friendly than others and can prove to be a good fit even if you lack specific experience in the field. These include jobs for language tutors, customer service representatives, sales representatives, community managers, tech support specialists, and tax preparers.

Update your CV to reflect remote work skills.

If you have experience working remotely, be sure to include this information on your resume. Even if you lack this specific background, include soft skills that will translate well into a remote job, including proven time management, organization, collaboration, and communication skills. Experience in relevant software can also help you land a remote job.

Look at international remote roles to expand your options. 

International companies are hiring more American workers than ever before, with the number growing by 62% last year. And the vast majority – 85% – are for remote positions. In particular, companies in the U.K., Canada, France, Singapore, and Australia often turn to the U.S. for remote workers.

Ensure you have the right materials and setup for working at home to increase your chances of success.

Making sure you have what you need to succeed in working remotely is important. You’ll need a dedicated quiet workspace away from the hustle and bustle of kids, pets, and other distractions. A reliable computer with a fast processor and sufficient memory to handle your tasks is also essential, as is a fast internet connection.

Although many companies have transitioned back to in-office work, it’s still very possible to find a remote position that’s a good fit for your skills and needs. These tips should give you an advantage that can increase your chances of landing the right remote position.

Over the years, social media has become the go-to marketing platform for small businesses looking to build their brands and win over customers. The opportunity to run successful campaigns and reach a larger audience without spending a ton of resources makes social media quite irresistible among small business owners.

Similarly, the shift to digital expedited by generational changes has pushed social media marketing to greater heights. Most decision-makers in family settings and businesses are tech-savvy millennials who believe in technology more than their predecessors. Gen-Zers, who are digital natives, are also entering the workforce, plus they make a significant portion, nearly 40%, of the US consumer market.

If you are looking to optimize your social media strategy and boost your business bottom line, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  1. Personalize Your Content 

Content creation, optimization, and management are at the heart of your social media marketing strategy. The content you get out through your social channels should be personalized for your unique audience. That means you should know your target demographics, what they like, where they spend their time online, and what type of content will engage them. If you fail to personalize your content, it will not target the right audience. Generic or poor-quality content can also damage your brand and business reputation.

  1. Provide Value 

Most business owners make the mistake of using social media channels just to promote their products and services. Typically, you want to build relationships and a sense of community with your customers to win their trust before selling to them. Where possible, embrace user-generated content and focus on educating and helping your audience understand how your business solves some of their problems.

  1. Be Flexible 

Before developing your content marketing strategy, you should identify the different social platforms you want to use to drive your marketing campaigns. A rule of thumb is to keep an open mind and to be as flexible as possible. Besides trying different social channels, you also want to use different content types, from videos and blog posts to webinars and case studies.

As businesses look for cost-effective and results-oriented marketing techniques, social media is proving to be a perfect tool, regardless of the business size or niche. The tips we have highlighted above aren’t exhaustive but are worth considering when launching a social media marketing campaign.
