Are you looking for a career that allows you to work remotely, set your own hours, and lets you travel the world? Then the field of online marketing may be for you.

With the evolution of online courses and learning platforms, many remote selling jobs no longer require you to be located in an office. With the rise of video content and the digital nomad community, remote marketing jobs are now more accessible than ever before.

Whether you’re looking for a new challenge or are looking to change your career direction, you can find a role that allows you to work remotely and make a difference.

In this article, we’ll explore the various remote marketing jobs available and how you can become an online marketer.

Why video content is rising

Thanks to the rise of TikTok, which was once considered a social media “slash” website, video content is now a crucial part of every marketer’s toolkit.

This content can take many different forms, from short-form videos to explainer videos, but its crucial role in our connected, digital world is undeniable.

Whether you love to create beautiful animations or enjoy shooting a crash course for your customers, video content will continue to rise as a form of marketing as viewers seek easy ways to gain valuable knowledge.

The Evolving Role of a Marketer

Traditional marketing roles, which typically required individuals to be in one place at one time, performing marketing functions, such as creating marketing plans or executing marketing campaigns, are no longer sufficient in a connected world.

Since marketers are generally responsible for growing a business through marketing and brand building, the roles and responsibilities of a marketing professional have changed to fit the digital era. In general, marketers are responsible for generating leads, converting those leads into paying customers, and retaining those customers by providing valuable services.

To succeed as a marketer, you will need to be able to work across traditional marketing disciplines, understand new technologies, and utilize various platforms and tools, such as social media, SEO, PPC, and content creation.

A content marketer’s responsibilities include:
