Development
If you know how to build websites or apps, this is where the demand is.
Skills like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and even data scraping are in high demand.
These roles often include web development, backend logic, and API integrations.
If you enjoy solving technical problems and building things that work, this could be your lane.
Developers on Hubstaff Talent tend to land steady work with remote teams looking to launch or maintain digital products.
Design & Multimedia
This includes graphic design, logo creation, video editing, and anything visual.
Skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, and video software (like Premiere or Final Cut) are often requested.
Many roles involve creating branding, social media content, or marketing visuals.
If you're visually creative and love crafting strong visuals that grab attention, these jobs let you put that skill to work from anywhere.
Marketing & Sales
From SEO to Facebook Ads, companies are looking for people who can drive results.
Social media marketing, email funnels, and content strategy are all highly valued.
You’ll need to know how to run campaigns, analyze data, and adjust for better performance.
If you’ve run your own projects, worked with small brands, or helped businesses grow online—even on a small scale—this category has tons of opportunity.

This Week’s Remote Work Hack
The Pomodoro method totally works for a lot of people—especially if you're just getting started with time management or need help staying on task.
That 25-minute sprint followed by a short break can be great for building momentum or pushing through distractions.
But if you’ve ever felt frustrated getting pulled out of focus just as things are clicking, there’s a reason.
Your brain actually runs on ultradian rhythms—natural cycles of peak energy that last about 90 minutes.
These longer stretches are perfect for deep work like writing, coding, designing, or problem-solving.
Instead of hitting pause every 25 minutes, working in 90-minute blocks lets you settle in, go deeper, and ride your brain’s natural wave.
Then you take a legit break—stretch, walk, snack—before jumping into the next round.
It’s less start-stop, more flow.
And for deep thinkers, creatives, and anyone who needs uninterrupted time to think big, it’s a game-changer.
Pomodoro might still have its place—especially on days when your focus is scattered.
But if you’re ready to level up your productivity, give the 90-minute cycle a shot. You’ll get more done and feel less drained doing it.
Oh, and if you’d like more side hustle and money-making ideas, you can sign up for my newsletter here.
Here’s to getting into real flow, and working with your brain—not against it. Try the 90-minute rhythm and see what deep focus really feels like. Catch ya in the next one!
