This in-demand remote job pays up to $250 an hour and doesn’t require a degree

If you want to earn six figures while working from home, consider a job in marketing. 

The Covid-19 pandemic spurred new demand for digital marketing as the public health crisis deprived businesses of their traditional marketing tactics and more consumers shopped online. 

Even three years later, that demand shows no signs of abating: Marketing managers are among the fastest-growing careers in the U.S., according to LinkedIn. 

Job boards FlexJobs and Freelancer.com are also seeing a boom in the number of remote, hybrid and freelance marketing roles. 

The number of jobs for marketing managers is expected to grow 6.6% over the next decade, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports — faster than the average for occupations overall.

While some marketing jobs require candidates to have a bachelor’s degree, it’s not a requirement to build a successful career as a remote marketing manager. 

What’s far more important, says Toni Frana, FlexJobs’ lead career expert, are the technical skills you bring to the table: Most marketing gigs require a strong understanding of SEO, data analysis and social media, among other skills. 

For example: A recent job posting for a product manager at Atlassian, which includes a minimum salary of $107,000, requires 5-7 years of marketing experience, as well as strong writing capabilities, but does not include a degree requirement. 

You can watch tutorials on YouTube or take online courses to earn a certification in specific skills — Google, for example, offers a popular certificate in digital marketing and e-commerce. 

Frana also recommends creating an online portfolio that showcases any relevant marketing projects or work you’ve done, including client testimonials. 

According to Fiverr, a freelancing marketplace, most freelance marketing jobs are remote, too, so marketing managers can work from anywhere and set their own hours, as long as they meet…
