Hi! I'm Daniella - your favorite Remote Work Bestie 💻

This current BS job market is full of scams, ghost jobs, & unorganized employers - oh my! So, this got me thinking...this community needs some help. To help everyone through this annoying AF job search process that is our current lives, I started putting together a list of hand-picked remote full-time, part-time, & freelance opportunities that are scam-free, ghost job free, & with employers that are known to be a bit more responsive. Not only that, you'll also get tons of resources to help you land the job! This curated list isn't only for those looking for W-2 jobs either. As a freelancer myself, I would never leave out my fellow freelance & side hustle besties.

Taxes for freelancers

Hey Reader, Tax season is here, and with it comes the dread. I used to absolutely hate doing my taxes when I first started freelancing on the side of my day job. I couldn't wrap my head around how much I should save from my side hustle earnings or at what amount do I even have to start paying taxes. Several years later (and several mistakes later), I finally got the hang of it. So -- here's a little crash course to help you get up to speed with your own side hustle taxes. (I also recently...

Hey Reader, Canva is my absolute favorite tool out of everything I use to run my side hustle. I use it to create blog graphics, social media graphics, graphics for freelance content I create for clients (like infographics), course content, and digital products like templates to sell online. Creating templates is such a fun and creative side hustle, with some creators making $120,000 a year or more with their Canva template businesses. These creators work anywhere between 5 hours a week to up...

Hey Reader, Side hustling is what originally helped me to pivot to a fully remote job at the beginning of my tech career. After I worked for a startup my first year after college, I was a freelance web developer for some time. This allowed me to build skills in a way I wouldn't have at another corporate job. I was able to get a dose of working as my own boss, managing my own time, and getting pretty decent-paying gigs. It was the perfect setup for honing my coding skills and padding my...

Hey Reader, Do you want to start a side hustle but are unsure what skills you even have? This is a common problem I often hear from clients. They know they want to start something but are not sure what they "can" do because they think they have no skills. I've had this same issue before too. I wanted a way to make extra money but didn't know what skills of mine were the best to do that with. I knew I liked web development and design a lot - and it helped that I used those same skills in my...
