Every month about 550,000 people from the US, UK, Netherlands and Germany search for “Work From Home Jobs”. 246,000 people search for “Remote Jobs”. That is if the data from my Google keyword analysis is correct.
If you are one of them, looking where to find work-from-home jobs. Then your life just got a bit easier.
Here is a list of 20 job search sites where you can find and apply for remote work. If you’re trying to start a freelance career of any sort or hoping to nail down a remote job, these websites are a great place to start looking.

After just taking a quick glance I’ve found some easy data-entry jobs (actually a lot of those), a job as a “Customer Service Representative” for Nike and a job as a “Watches Expert” for an auction website.

Next steps
Wrapping it up, there are a lot of places to search for your next remote job. If you start your Google search a lot of ads pop up as well. You can skip the job search sites and go for employers offering remote jobs directly.
The biggest take from this research is that certain skills are required for a lot of these jobs. The good part, however, is that a lot of the required skills can be acquired for free online. I’ve written an article called ‘How Aspiring Entrepreneurs Should Invest’ where I share my thoughts about determining your next steps when it comes to learning skills.
Another article worth checking out is: “Top 30 Sites for Online Education and Learning” where Upwork has listed 30 websites that offer the best courses (paid and free) to prepare you for the future you want.

I’m not sure I understand your question. Could you rephrase it? Thanks 🙂
