50+ People I’ve Gelped Get a Remote Job
These stories are the reason I know remote work can change your life — because I’ve watched it happen over and over again with all the people I've helped get remote jobs.
If you’ve been following me for a while, then you already know this. I don’t just talk about remote jobs because they sound glamorous and cute on the internet.
I talk about them because I’ve seen, over and over again, what happens when someone finally lands one. It can literally change their lives & give them a whole lifestyle upgrade.
More money, flexibility, no commute, more time to yourself, the ability to travel or to stay home… the ability to stop asking for permission to live your life.
It’s so rewarding for me to see that & that’s why I keep creating free & paid resources to help you get your remote jobs — no matter what stage of your professional journey you’re in.
So, why am I always talking about the importance of getting the first remote job?
That’s the part people don’t always realize. A remote job is not just “a job you do from your laptop.” For a lot of people, it becomes the first domino of the whole lifestyle ugprade.
It’s the thing that helps them leave a draining job, finally work from home, move abroad, stay closer to their partner, earn in USD while living in LATAM, stop wasting hours commuting, or simply feel like they have more control over their own life again.
And because I’ve now been helping people do this since 2019, I’ve collected a lot of success stories & I wanted to put them all in one place.
This article is a collection of real remote job success stories from people I’ve helped in different ways — through my programs, my resume service, my resources, my content, and the exact remote job search strategies I’ve been teaching for years now.
They’re all very different stories.
Some of them landed a remote job in 2 months.
Some started getting interviews after hearing nothing for ages.
Some tripled their income.
Some got to travel.
Some got their family back together.
Some simply proved to themselves that they were capable of more than they thought.
If you’ve been doubting whether this can happen for you too… I want this article to be your reminder that it absolutely can. No matter where you’re from, what you currently do or how old you are.
By the way, if you’re new here…
I am Andrea Valeria.
I started helping my followers go remote back in 2019. My first true success story was my own brother, who was able to get a remote job with no degree, experience & at only 20 years of age. Once I used my method with him, I knew I could continue using it to help others go remote, as well.
Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of people go remote.
So, below I’m sharing some of the stories, screenshots, wins, and little life upgrades that happened after these people decided to actually go for it. Some joined my full program, some used my ‘Remotify Your Resume’ service, some followed the strategy I share here on Substack or participated in one of my challenges…
But all of them have one thing in common:
They stopped just wanting, wishing & waiting for a remote job… and actually took action.

If you made it all the way through this article, I hope one thing is very clear by now…
This is not some random fantasy lifestyle that only happens to a few lucky people on the internet.
Working remotely can be real for you if you only had a plan, stopped wasting time & had some guidance & support to make it happen.
So, if you’ve been sitting there thinking, “Okay… but how do I actually do this?” — and you’re ready to get ALL the help they got in ONE place.
I created the program that most of the success stories in this article followed.
This will be for you perfect if you have zero remote experience, and you’re feeling pretty lost on what it takes to actually get a remote job.
Or maybe you’ve tried Googling to figure out what to do, but you’re overwhelmed and feel like you need step-by-step guidance.
‘Land Your First Remote Job’
This is my course that I designed specifically to help you understand the search. From identifying the skills you already have to how to overcome a lack of experience. You will also learn how to find legit remote jobs, avoid scams and how to make your resume specifically for remote jobs (with video guidance and templates). Basically everything you need to go remote — no matter your experience, age or background.
You can start with this introduction to the course…
And if you prefer reading & you need less step-by-step guidance, you can also just follow this 3-month plan I have here on my Substack.
The cool thing is that your life can look different a few months from now too. Because 2 months from now, 3 months from now, or 4 months from now, you really could be in a completely different situation.
