5 Best Job Boards for Marketers & Social Media Managers Who Want to Work From Home
Are you reading this from a stuffy office where Susan from HR is definitely contagious and your cubicle walls feel like they’re closing in?
Maybe you’ve got your corporate email account open in one tab and this post in the other — because you’re quietly losing your mind.
You don’t want to spend another year watching your creativity die under fluorescent lights. You want to work from home. You want to build email funnels in your pajamas. You want to be there for school pickup, sick days, and slow mornings with your dog curled up at your feet — not trapped in back-to-back in-person meetings about “brand voice alignment.”
If you’re a social media marketer, digital strategist, content marketer, or even just marketing-curious and craving a change, this is your chance.
You don’t have to settle for in-office, underpaid full-time corporate jobs. And you don’t need to keep scrolling job boards at midnight, wondering if anyone is actually hiring remote marketers who know what they’re doing.
The truth? Companies are hiring — and they’re hiring freelancers. Especially for remote roles in content strategy, paid ads, SEO, email marketing, and social media.
So if you’re ready to ditch the commute and start landing high-paying, freelance-friendly, work-from-home (WFH) remote marketing jobs, then we’ve got the best places to find these jobs.

How Do You Actually Find Remote Marketing Jobs in 2025?
I’ve been a freelancer for the last decade, which is why I built the job board 📣 Make Marketing Your Job for marketers and social media managers just like you.
If you’ve been Googling things like:
“Remote social media manager jobs”
“How to work from home in marketing”
“Best job boards for freelance marketers”
You’re already on the right path.
Most freelancers don’t land dream clients through luck. They build systems. They show up. And — most importantly — they track job listings that can actually pay off.
Below are the five best job boards for marketers and social media managers who want remote, freelance jobs that pay well and respect your time:
#1 — 📣 Make Marketing Your Job
Best for: Curated freelance marketing jobs that actually pay well.
This is my job board — and yes, I’m biased. But also: it’s really, really good.
📣 Make Marketing Your Job is a paid Substack newsletter featuring only freelance, remote marketing jobs. No full-time listings. No “volunteer to manage our startup’s social media” nonsense.
We share roles in:
Social media management
Content marketing
Email strategy & automation
SEO & organic growth
Digital campaign planning
PR & communications
& more!
We also include Featured Jobs submitted directly by clients — which means lower competition and faster responses. Many of these roles never make it to LinkedIn or traditional job boards.
📣 Subscribe here for $10/month or $96/year to get remote marketing jobs delivered to your inbox 5x/week and get great freelance work that moves your career forward.
#2 — Upwork
Best for: Beginners testing the waters, experts adding side income, marketers who like systems.
Upwork gets a bad rap — but when used strategically, it can be a solid launchpad for remote marketing jobs. I’ve seen new freelancers land consistent social media work, SEO audits, and even full funnel builds through the platform.
That said, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds:
🔻 Thousands of low-paying listings
🔻 Spammy clients and race-to-the-bottom proposals
🔻 High fees and a pay-to-pitch system with “Connects”
The key is curation and positioning. If you know your niche, package your services clearly, and pitch with confidence, Upwork can absolutely work — whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned freelancer looking to top off your client roster.
Pro tip: We handpick the best Upwork marketing jobs for you in our 📣 Make Marketing Your Job newsletter, sent out 5x a week.
#3 — Fiverr
Best for: Plug-and-play offers and freelancers with algorithmic patience.
Fiverr is like Etsy for marketers: a marketplace where you can list quick-turn services like “I’ll write 10 email subject lines” or “SEO optimization for your Shopify store.”
If your freelance marketing service fits into a neat, repeatable box, Fiverr might help you get early traction.
But here’s the reality:
⚠️ Fiverr rewards speed and volume over depth and nuance
⚠️ Rates are often lower than what you deserve
⚠️ Complex services (like marketing strategy or funnel design) get overlooked
Most experienced freelancers I know outgrow Fiverr fast — especially if you’re building a premium, high-trust brand. Still, if you’re experimenting with service ideas or want to test demand before going all-in, it’s not the worst place to lurk.
Just know that the best clients usually aren’t browsing Fiverr — they’re hiring through trusted referrals or curated platforms (like 📣 Make Marketing Your Job).
#4 — Freelancing Females
Best for: Community + the occasional great job.
Freelancing Females is part job board, part group chat, part “I cannot believe this client just asked me to run 3 brands for $600/month” therapy session.
Their job board features freelance roles in marketing, design, writing, and social media — with a decent number of WFH jobs in the mix.
Use this one less as your daily job feed, and more as your supportive freelance co-working club — where you occasionally find a dream job on the bulletin board.
#5 — LinkedIn
Best for: Finding freelance marketing jobs hiding in plain sight.
LinkedIn is still the best place to stumble into opportunity.
Sure, the “Jobs” tab is helpful — but the real magic happens in the feed. Founders, creators, overwhelmed marketing leads? They’re posting, venting, and low-key asking for help.
Here’s how to make it work:
Search posts using keywords like “freelance social media manager” or “need a content marketer”
Set job alerts for remote marketing jobs and social media contracts
Follow agency founders, startup CMOs, and indie brand creators
Or, if you’d rather skip the scroll? 📣 Make Marketing Your Job includes the best freelance-friendly LinkedIn leads in every issue.
How to Actually Get Hired for Work From Home Marketing Jobs
Having the job boards is step one. Knowing how to stand out? That’s the real game.
Here’s how to increase your chances of getting hired for WFH marketing jobs:
🧠 Turn your past wins into mini case studies.
Use this formula to structure your mini studies: Challenge → Strategy → Results → What You’d Do Again. It works better than a generic “social media manager with 5 years experience” pitch.
🛠️ Build a sharp, skimmable portfolio.
Even a one-pager is fine. Just make it easy for clients to see what you do and what results you’ve gotten.
📣 Tailor your applications.
Yes, even if you’re sending out a lot. Customize the first paragraph. Reference something in their brand. Be a real person.
💡 Remember: attitude matters.
Clients want someone who’s confident and collaborative. If you come in hot with “I’m overqualified for this,” you’ll turn them off. Come in curious, capable, and easy to work with — that’s what gets repeat business.
