13 Best Work From Home Marketing Jobs

Are you searching for work from home marketing jobs? This comprehensive list has you covered!

When I started my remote job search in 2007, I asked friends, past coworkers, and employers if they knew of or had any work that I could do from home. My networking efforts paid off when my friend said she needed a freelancer to do some marketing research for her company.

As a newbie to the field, I began doing simple marketing research. I then moved up to affiliate acquisitions and later became their social media manager.

In 2009, I started my own blog.

As it turns out, I love marketing and advertising!

While I no longer freelance, I still use marketing daily in my business.

If you have a marketing degree, enjoy writing or blogging, or are a skilled social media guru, there are lots of remote marketing jobs available.

How Can You Break Into Marketing?

Some companies will demand that their employees have a bachelor’s degree in marketing, advertising, communications, or a related field, but others will hire employees based on experience and proven track records. Meaning, that if you built up your own social media platforms as an influencer, started a blog, or ran a successful business where you were responsible for marketing, you can easily break into a work from home marketing job. 

Another way to break into marketing is by working your way up the ladder. Many people who work in marketing start out as customer service professionals and then apply for marketing assistant positions with the company they are employed with. Companies would rather hire internally, as the individual already has an established work record with the organization, and they are willing to train the individual for the position. 

Of course, you can always take a course or gain certification online to get the skills you need for a remote marketing job. You can also volunteer and freelance to get some experience under your belt.

What Skills Do You Need For a Remote Marketing Job?

The skills you’ll need will vary based on the marketing specialty and role (assistant, specialist, coordinator, manager, strategist, director, or VP) you decide to go into.

For instance, if you’re applying for graphic design positions, you’ll need to have a working knowledge of software programs like Adobe Creative Suite and color management.

If you’ll be working as a social media marketer, you’ll need to know how the different social media platforms work, how to measure results, and how to increase engagement. 

In general, marketers should possess the following skills in order to be successful: 

• Strong writing skills
• Creativity 
• Excellent organizational and project management skills
• Problem-solving capability
• Ability to analyze data
• Leadership skills

1. Affiliate Marketing Jobs

Affiliate marketing is an arrangement where an individual promotes a brand’s products or services in exchange for compensation when an action takes place. Usually, this action is a sale or qualified lead.

With affiliate marketing, you can either run your own business promoting affiliate offers, or you can work for the affiliate marketing agency managing affiliate relationships.

For the first option, you’ll promote products and services via an affiliate link that you add to blog posts, newsletters, or social media channels. Even if you don’t have a website or email list, you can get involved with affiliate marketing. This post explains how to promote affiliate offers without a website. As an affiliate promoter, you will make money each time a customer takes an action through your affiliate link.

One blogger that has mastered affiliate marketing is Michelle from Making Sense of Cents. She earns over $50,000 a month through just affiliate marketing sales; you can read her story here.

If you rather work from home managing affiliate relationships, search for affiliate marketing manager jobs. For most of these positions, you’ll need a marketing degree and at least 3-4 years of experience.

The first time I heard the term copywriting, I thought it was the process of getting books copyrighted; it’s not.

With copywriting, you can work as a freelancer, or you can choose to work for an agency. Each arrangement has its pros and cons, which you can read about here.

7. Public Relations and Communications Coordinator

Public relations coordinators understand how to use a company’s platforms, such as online, print, and broadcast media, to put a company’s best face forward to its target audience. Many people think of a public relations coordinator as someone who handles a crisis or helps a company present a positive side to a story when they’re in trouble. In reality, public relations coordinators help companies through their good times too. PR specialists may help during product launches and events, assist with new campaigns and regularly focus on boosting a company’s media profile or position in the community. Most public relations coordinators hold a bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, business, or language.

Social media managers do more than post updates to Facebook and Instagram. They often manage a company’s social media portfolio and online image. Depending on the scope of their role, they may also design advertisements, plan campaigns, and measure results. They may be in charge of specific social media platforms or manage all their social media accounts. They often understand analytics and may have a specialized background in a certain area such, as Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, or YouTube. 

Finding stay-at-home jobs in social media marketing isn’t difficult, but you need to know where to look. Here are some places to start your search:

9. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Specialist

A search engine optimization (SEO) specialist understands how to boost a company’s online presence, so they’re easily found via search.

SEO specialists have an in-depth grasp of Google analytics and understand search trends, keyword selection, and usability.

Or they might provide customer services and moderation services on social media, or curate content for companies.
