What Remote Writing Employers Actually Want

Before the list, the honest version of what strong remote writing candidates look like.

Specificity beats versatility. “I write anything” is the weakest positioning in content writing. “I write long-form SEO content for B2B SaaS companies” or “I write email sequences for e-commerce brands” is what gets hired. The more specific your positioning, the more you stand out.

A portfolio is non-negotiable. Every remote writing application needs to be accompanied by examples of your work. If you do not have a portfolio, create one before applying — write three sample pieces in the style and format of roles you are targeting, even if they are spec pieces for imaginary clients.

SEO literacy is increasingly essential. Remote content roles at international companies increasingly require writers who understand search intent, keyword research, and how to write content that ranks on Google. If you do not understand basic SEO principles, learn them — the Ahrefs Academy and HubSpot’s content marketing certification are both free starting points.
