Why your LinkedIn headline needs a rewrite + 13 remote jobs this week


Hey Reader!

Last week, I did something wild: I took a break from LinkedIn.

No posts. No scroll. Just quiet focus.

And guess what? That pause did wonders for The Remote Marketer. It also reminded me why LinkedIn has been such a big part of my career.

It's where I built my brand and got real opportunities:

In the past year, 3 CEOs reached out to me directly about roles.

No job boards. No applications.

(and one of those chats just turned into my next fractional role.)

The truth? LinkedIn works if your profile does the talking for you. But most job seekers I work with don’t know how to make that happen.

So for the next four weeks, we’re going deep. Starting with your headline.

This tiny line of text? It does a lot of heavy lifting.

Let’s make yours stand out.


Craft a killer LinkedIn headline

Your headline shows up everywhere: in comments, DMs, search results, and connection requests.

If it doesn’t grab attention or explain what you do, you're leaving opportunities on the table.

Here’s the formula I give my clients (and it works):

[Your Title] @ [Company] | [Key Skills or Services] | [Who You Help + Outcome]

Example:

Head of Marketing @ The Remote Marketer | Product | Social Media | Content | I help B2B startups scale pipeline through content and zero-ad-spend growth

Let’s break it down:

1/ Start with your current title and company

It builds credibility. Even if you're not working right now, use your target title to show where you're headed.

2/ Add 2–3 specialties or focus areas

Think: SEO, Paid Social, Product Marketing, Lifecycle Email. Review 5 job descriptions in your niche and pull out the top 3 keywords that show up most.

3/ Finish with your value statement

Who do you help? How? What have you achieved? Be direct.

“I help [target audience] [specific result] through [method].”

Why it works:

✅ Search-friendly
✅ Instantly shows your niche
✅ Tells people why they should reach out

Crafting a killer headline is like writing your elevator pitch.

The goal? Make people want to know more.


Your to-do list

✔ Look at your headline. Does it clearly say what you do and who you help?
✔ Draft 2–3 headline options using the formula above
✔ Ask a friend (or me!) which one stands out
✔ Update your profile and track the results

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...

Hey Reader! The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. I flew to Seoul, and now I'm in Mexico for the summer. Right when I landed, I got hit with the flu. My body was clearly waving a white flag after all the travel. But I knew I had to be here. It's a tough season health-wise for my family. I can’t fix it. But I can show up. And that’s the gift of remote work. I didn’t need to ask permission to go where I’m needed most. I just packed my laptop and booked a ticket. In the midst of all...

Hey Reader! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about how networking opens doors — and sometimes, those doors show up right when you need them. That’s been true for me lately. After three incredible years as Marketing Manager at Arc, I’ve closed that chapter and am now focused full-time on The Remote Marketer. This wasn’t an overnight decision. I’d been thinking about a shift for a while but hadn’t quite worked up the nerve to make it. When the change came, I felt ready — and, more...
