⚠️ Scared to post on LinkedIn? Read this (plus 17 remote roles inside)


Hey Reader!

This week, The Remote Marketer turns 1.

One year ago, I challenged myself to post daily on LinkedIn.

No strategy. No brand. Just show up and see what happens.

What happened?

I learned how to write better.
Built real connections.
Started a business coaching job seekers.

So when I got laid off, I didn’t spiral, I had momentum.

Because I wasn’t just applying.

I was visible.

If you're job hunting right now, you need that too.

Here’s how to start posting, even if you're not a “content creator.”


How to write your first LinkedIn post

You don’t need a niche.

You don’t need a strategy.

You just need to show up once a week.

Here’s how to write your very first post as a job seeker:

1. Write your first post

Pick one of these:

  • Share something you’re learning
  • Talk about a challenge you hit this week
  • Explain what kind of role you’re looking for and why

Example: Job hunting has taught me something unexpected: updating your resume is harder than it should be. Took me hours to find the right words. But I finally landed on this summary and it actually sounds like me.

2. Make it readable

Don’t overthink the format. Just make it easy to follow.

  • Keep it under 200 words
  • Use short paragraphs
  • Write like you talk

3. End with a question

You’re not trying to impress, you’re trying to connect.

Try:

  • “Anyone else feel this way?”
  • “What helped you during your job search?”
  • “Curious how others write their summaries, what worked for you?”

4. Post once a week

Same day, every week. Build the habit.

This keeps you top of mind with people who can help.

5/ Engage, don't broadcast

This is the fastest way to get visible.

Find 10 posts in your feed, people in your field, roles you want, companies you like.

Leave real comments, not “great post.”

Example: “Congrats! What helped you ramp up in your first week? I’m prepping for remote roles and curious what made the biggest difference.”

Give it 15 minutes a day. It adds up fast.

Your to-do list

✔ Write 1 LinkedIn post using the prompts above
✔ End with a simple question
✔ Pick a day to post again next week
✔ Comment on 10 posts in your industry

And if it still feels like a lot, I’ll help you get started:

Hey Reader! Last week, I shared my experience hiring a Social Media Specialist at Arc. The part that got the most questions? The video. I mentioned that the top 12 applicants all sent short, customized Looms, and the responses were split. Some people loved it. Others thought it was “too much.” Hate to break it to you, but this market is rough. Recruiters aren’t scrolling leisurely through 100+ resumes. If you want to stand out, you have to go the extra mile. This week, I’m breaking down what...

Hey Reader! I had a call this week with a creative director who’s been in the game for over 10 years. Super sharp. Insanely talented. But when I told her the #1 thing missing was presence, she paused. “That’s not me,” she said. But here’s the thing, once you’ve got the experience, what moves your career forward isn’t just what you’ve done. It’s who knows about it. Presence = perception. And perception shapes opportunity. Especially if you’re job searching. So this edition is for anyone...

Hey Reader! If you’ve been here a while, you know my home base is Taiwan. But right now? I'm writing to you from Mexico. This summer, I came to support family through a tough season. And I’ll be honest, moving back into your parents’ home after 10 years of living independently is NOT easy. It’s been a lesson in patience, presence, and relearning how to live with others. I’m cherishing it all, even the hard parts. The bright side? I finally built my remote work setup here in Mexico. And with...
