How to Land a $10k/mo Remote Job in 2026

[00:00:00]You want to go fully remote, but you're stuck. Your skills feel generic. Your resume is old school, and your DMs almost never get answered. Give me 10 minutes, and I'll walk you through my five-step process that will help you land fully remote opportunities with high ticket businesses. I'm Rahan Khan, and in the last 7 years, I've gone from working in a dead-end in-off corporate job to building a fully remote flexible career, which allows me to work from wherever I want, whenever I want, while making 10 times my corporate income.

[00:00:28]After this video, you should be able to run a focused twoe sprint to put things into motion. And if you stick with me till the end, I'll give you access to my downloadable work from anywhere blueprint, which includes pricing guides for different roles, as well as a list of 50 companies that hire remotely almost all the time. The remote work blueprint will work for you if your English is decent, you have a problem solvers attitude, and you have the ability to take action. So, let's get into it. Step one, the value mindset.

[00:00:57]Think of everything you've done in your career so far and answer these two questions for me. Why would someone hire you remotely and what value do they get out of it? High ticket businesses that pay as much as 8 to 10,000 a month expect those remote resources to deliver significant outcomes every single day.

[00:01:13]This is very different from your average corporate job where you clock in, clock out, and sometimes just sit in a cubicle doing nothing all day. Jim Ron says you don't get paid for the hour, you get paid for the value you bring to the hour. To succeed in the online space, you need to transition from being a task taker to being a problem solver. So decide now what is the main problem or the pain point that you will solve for these businesses. This will be your value prop and you need to be very clear about it right from the start. Let me give you some options that will help you pick your lane. So almost every high ticket agency would have an SDR, a copywriter, an account manager, an uh operations manager, somebody to do their videos and creatives. Each one of these roles solves a different problem. For example, an SDR's job is to fill up calendars for the closers, while the closer's job is to take those calls, maybe sometimes seven or eight calls a day, close the deals, and bring in revenue. Another example would be an ops manager, people like me that handle finances, daily ops, project management, as well as recruitment. There's about 10 hats that you have to wear in the op side. These are just two examples. You can pick your lane by asking yourself these three big questions. What are you naturally good at? What do you enjoy? Do you like having client conversations? Do you enjoy more creative work like copyrightiting? Or do you like systems and automations like me? So, first thing, find your interest. Second question, can you improve this skill fast enough to be useful? In short, do you see yourself being a top performer in the future with this skill? Question number three, is this skill well paid and in demand? You can find out by going to we work remotely, LinkedIn, flex jobs and look for remote roles for that specific skill. and how much are they paying? But remember, whichever path you pick, business owners need to have a firm belief in your ability to solve their most painful problem without handholding. And that is when they hire you on a premium retainer 100% remotely.

[00:03:07]Let's move on to step two. Step two, learning the craft. This is where most people fail. They apply to hundreds of jobs, they fake CVs, but they don't try to get better at the thing, the skill that they want to be paid for. Let's assume you want to be a high ticket closer. Are you willing to watch Grant Cardone and Jordan Belelfford for the next two weeks, learn closing and then use those skills to land a few interviews and try to close them? Or let's say you want to be an ops manager.

[00:03:32]Are you willing to watch NAT tutorials for the next whole week and build unique AI agents? In short, the point I'm trying to get at is that there are no shortcuts to acquiring a skill. You need at least a two, three week sprint, at least a crash course to go from being a zero out of 10 to being a five or six out of 10 on any specific skill. 90% of the resources that you need to learn all these things are available online for free in this day and age. This may sound cliche, but in the starting 2 three years of my career, I was literally trying to copy people by watching their YouTube tutorials. People that were good at the skills that I was trying to acquire. And I think you should do the same. You can build your own growth algorithm for any role. Start by following the top five people on all social platforms. Try to copy their methods and trust me along the way you will find your own identity. Now once you're knowledgeable enough, you need to build short demos for three problems that you will solve in that role. For instance, as an aspiring ops manager, you can build demos on how you will make the client on boarding more efficient or how you'll improve the KPI tracking or even how you'll set up an AY's internal recruiting system. Now, after building these demos, you just need to package this proof into a visually appealing portfolio. It can be on Canva. It can also be in Gamma, but make sure that includes Loom videos on the problems you've solved and also a detailed SOP on how you will approach that problem step by step and build a system around it.

[00:04:58]Now, to recap, you learn from the best in the business by try to solve a few problems and then document that proof into a visually appealing portfolio. An important note here, you don't have to be a 9 on 10 or a 10 on 10 to be hired remotely. Many business owners would prefer a slightly less skilled resource who is hungry, has the right attitude, and communicates well over someone who is a 9 on 10 on a certain skill, but lacks the attitude and the hunger for the job. Step three, the terms of engagement. After finalizing your skill lane, you need to decide on how you will offer your service and what will be the terms of engagement. As a fully demoed individual contributor, you have three main options. Option one is a freelancer who gets paid per project. I would only recommend this option as a stepping stone or if you decide to go into a niche and start charging premium prices.

[00:05:44]For example, some funnel builders I know charge as high as 15 to 20k for a simple VSSL style funnel. But in most cases, gigbased freelancers make less than full-time remote team members. Ideally, you start as a freelancer on trial with a commitment that if they like your work, they will bring you on full-time into their team. Option two, a full-time team member with a long-term contract.

[00:06:06]This option was instrumental not just to my career, but to many others in my network where people went from making $5 an hour to as much as 15 to 20k per month. And this is the option that you should strive for. And option three is a fractional team member who gets paid a monthly retainer for working a specific number of hours or delivering a specific outcome. Fractional roles can be of different kinds and they mainly come into play once you gain a few years of experience with building systems, solving problems or delivering different outcomes. A fractional contractor can be someone who goes into a business, installs a specific system for let's say 3 months and then moves on to the next business. This way they can have multiple clients at the same time and make more than an individual contributor who works just for one client. In conclusion, I would recommend that you start with option one, get a few clients on a trial basis and then convert the best one into a full-time contract. Step four, sourcing high ticket agencies. For sourcing high ticket agencies, you need to understand the term high ticket first. This simply means that the average price point for whatever they sell is higher than $2,000. This can be a coaching program, a service-based agency, or even a SAS product. A few good examples of high ticket coaching programs would be The Real World by Andrea Tate or The Agency Navigator by Iman Gi. And if you want to look at an agency that delivers high ticket product, check out NP Digital by Neil Patel. In short, we're going for businesses that deliver premium outcomes for premium prices online. But why? Why is this our audience? mainly because these businesses operate with a high profit margin and a small team which will allow you to grow exponentially as compared to any other business. Now you must be thinking where do I find these businesses? That's exactly what I'm going to teach you in this step. Trust me there's hundreds of emans and out there you just need to find and engage them. You should start with a goal of building a list of 100 high ticket businesses using this sourcing machine.

[00:07:52]The sourcing machine will have six main sources. Okay. So now I'm going to give you some of the main sources that you can use to prospect and to build this initial list of 100 companies. First one being school. School is a platform for online communities. All of these people are either selling a course on mindset on crypto on getting better at a skill on making yourself better. For example, Library of Fredonist. This guy is self-improvement. His whole thing is that he changed his life in the last 5 years. You can watch this video.

[00:08:22]Whenever you go to a community like you can get to know the founder here and then you will click on their name and simply just find out like Hamza Ahmed for example you click this link this will take you to his YouTube. So from here you can find his Instagram you can find his LinkedIn and you can reach out.

[00:08:36]You can even find his email like using Apollo or something. Another example this one Billy Carson how many people does Billy C have? Okay 55 a month 1.2K he's probably making 60 70k just from this community and then he sells more on the back end. You will also find one with like thousands of members. For example, let me show you on So is another platform exactly the same just newer and uh it's built more like payments are integrated. This is owned by Iman Gazi. Anyhow, let me show you for example this one 225 a month and it has almost 2,000 people. So 1,800 into 225 400k just from this community. So these people have the money to afford resources and to hire to run these communities or to do anything related to this offering. You just need to go on the page of the community. This is another example. Scroll down. You'll find this this guy is the creator. And his LinkedIn is here. How many does he have on LinkedIn? Probably like yeah 5K.

[00:09:28]You can just message him and I'm pretty sure he will respond if you send him like a nice customized message with a Loom video. Same for this one. So, CryptoGod John you can find on Instagram and he has how many? So, about 1,800 people here and just 8K followers. So, if you reach out and you say, "Hey, I want to help you with your community. I can help the customer success side. I can do the operations." I think they'd give you a shot. These are actual decision makers there that you can reach out to directly. If not, if they're too big, you can just find someone at their company to reach out to. This is let's say source one. So, communities on WP or school. Second source is use LinkedIn either sales nav or a basic LinkedIn search and build a list of recruiters that hire in the let me show you my boolean. I've given away this boolean in the playbook as well. High ticket or fully remote. So if they have this word in their profile means they're a recruiter and they have the word high ticket or fully remote. So they place talent that is fully remote and then there's a list of 342. Just go one by one. Reach out to all of them. Try to have calls and tell them this is what I'm offering. You know, I speak good English. I can work with any of your clients. And just having 10 of these, I think it may take you like 5 to 7 days to get a job if you reach out to 10 of these people. So that's the second thing is LinkedIn and connecting with recruiters and building your network that way. And then the third option is Facebook. There's a lot of Facebook groups where there's like what 57,000 members here. out of this maybe 10,000 are business owners that uh this group is called Nothing Held Back. It's run by someone named Alan Selnik who's like this he he builds very good funnels and he's very good on the marketing side.

[00:10:58]I'm not sure if he builds funnels himself anymore, but he created this community for people to come together, share value. Value like, okay, they're talking about VSSL or no VSSL, someone's looking for a funnel designer, third party platform. So, value is being exchanged by business owners that make millions within this group. So, this is one. Another one is High Level. So, this is all Gohigh level users. They're also very, very big companies. If you don't know Gohigh Level, look it up. Start learning. If you want to do anything techreated, it really helps in this space. And another one is nothing held back job board. So someone needs an agency, someone is taking clients, someone's hiring appointment setters, hiring a full stack email marketer. So just these you could just talk with people, just message them on Facebook, drop a voice note and you know this could also contribute to what you're trying to the list that you're trying to build. SAS founders another group very good. You can this is more SAS they may be hiring more tech people or marketing people and to validate your ideas about these companies that you find out I would say. Okay, so this was one example that I was just checking. These are people I've worked with in the past.

[00:11:58]Let's take one example, client accelerators. So you find out about this guy, his name is Mike Bontempo. You you see this company's ad or you want to validate if they're hiring or not. This is a very good metric. Just come to Facebook ads library, put the company's name, and see if they're running any ads. Keep this on all ads, all locations. And this company is running like 30 35 ads. So they're probably spending anywhere from, I think, 3 to 5K a day or at least 2K a day for these ads. And if you go and see client accelerator, so this is the company and I'm on their careers page. See open positions. They have so many open positions. The same for another example.

[00:12:33]I was trying for one of the companies I consulted with Richard which he knew.

[00:12:36]His company's name is impact clients.

[00:12:38]They're also running a lot of ads which means they have the budget to scale the team and to fulfill on the offering that they have. They also have at least out of all of these sometimes all these roles are not open. At least half of them would be open. So your ladder now looks like communities on school and After that, LinkedIn searches for recruiters. After that, Facebook group use Facebook ads library to validate your ideas. And the last thing I'll leave you with, please look up who are two comma club members or what is the two comma club award. The two comma club award is given by clickfunnels.

[00:13:10]Clickfunnels is a massive platform for landing pages and selling things online.

[00:13:14]And anybody that has made a million that has made a million using a single salesunnel. So, let's say I sell get better at dating. That's my offer. And I sell a playbook for $10. I should have used this platform to sell for more than a million dollars to win this award. So, all these people that are two comma club award winners. You could just see a few names here. You can also find them on Instagram. These are all a lot of the interviews here of Two Comma Club members, all these people have made like a million online. This guy is showing his award on Instagram, which means he's won the award, which means he's worthy of probably hiring someone to help him, you know, run this online offer. So these sources should be enough to build that initial list of 100 companies. But don't forget I'm also giving you a validated list of 50 companies in my remote work playbook. So don't forget to download that. Let's go to the next step now. Now let me break it down for you.

[00:13:59]By putting yourself out there, I mean that you need to have at least an active online presence on the platform that supports your niche. That can be LinkedIn, Upwork, Behance, depends on what you do. It can even be GitHub if you're a software developer. For example, it's 2025. Your online profile needs to be appealing enough. It needs to be updated. Almost every single week, I meet multiple people who are complaining about not finding jobs online. And the last time they updated their LinkedIn was possibly when they were in college. Because of my online presence, I haven't even had to apply to possibly my last three full-time online gigs. They mostly found me online or someone in my online network referred them to me. But for my first three years working online when I was still transitioning from my corporate job into being freelance and then eventually looking for full-time opportunities, I was consistently connecting with 180 people on autopilot through my LinkedIn using old school automation tools like Octopus or Du. I was maxing out my LinkedIn limits and connecting with 180 people matching my ideal client profile every single week. I was mostly building lists with sales navigator or Fiverr VAS and using old school tools like Octopus and Duck Soup to connect with them on autopilot and drop like a small customized message. And now I've built an audience of about 11,000 followers on LinkedIn, which isn't massive, but still brings me enough organic traffic to keep me busy. Naval Ravi Khan says, "Play long-term games with long-term people."

[00:15:22]And that's exactly what I'm trying to teach you here. You need to elevate your network to a point that opportunities like this just start flowing organically. Now, let me also highlight the right way to connect and the way you can structure your outreach. My initial outreach messaging had three main parts.

[00:15:36]A few minutes of research on the company or the person that I was reaching out to. So, I would always tailor my messages with an excuse to start a conversation. For example, if a CEO posted about their interest in AI video ads, and I send them like a sample I made with Man of Banana and how it can produce multiple ad creatives to test for Facebook ads, this guy would definitely be open to having a 10-minute conversation with me. So, in the first part, you try to ask a question to start a conversation. In the second part, I would always include a customized Loom video, which is either tailored to marketing agency, CEOs, or people that are leading sales teams for small agencies, but this was also tailored to their niche. Ideally, these loom videos should not be longer than 5 minutes, and your energy levels should always be high. The third part, I don't personally do this anymore, but it would help you a lot as a beginner. The message needs to include your portfolio link or that should include the systems, problems, achievements, everything in one page, but be sure that you don't include some super generic responsibilities on it. I get that a lot and most of recruitment managers don't like it. Here's a section bysection breakdown of my messaging template. You can also find a detailed breakdown of the structure in my remote work playbook that I've attached in the link below. You don't need a massive text act to start here. I'll tell you every single tool that you need. First off, you need something to be your proof hub and a place to hold all your proposals. For that I would recommend Canva or Gamma. Secondly, you need something to record videos, visuals, tutorials of how you will solve these problems. For that, I recommend Loom which is also free. After that, you need a tool to build lists. Maybe you could check out Sales Navigator or even the free LinkedIn search would do to start with. After that, you need an outreach tool. I've been using Haiti for the last 2 years and it works very well. I also have a discount code if you need and you can start the first 15 days for free.

[00:17:13]Then you need a tracker. For that, you can simply use Google Sheets. And I'm giving you a tracker template in my downloadable playbook. After that, you need something to book calls. Just start with a free Calendarly account. And finally, you need a research assistant.

[00:17:25]And this is the only place where I would advise you to spend 20 bucks. Go for a GBT plus account. And that can help you with your research, with your copywriting, with how to handle objections. And it will literally be your day-to-day system. James Clay says, "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." Now let's see how these five steps come together to build your repeatable system. For the next two weeks on a daily basis, you will do the following things. You will source 10 high ticket agency owners. Do your research, connect with them, and send them a customized message with a custom loom. After that, you will source one new high ticket recruiter or a coaching network and try to tell them about your goals. Once that is done, you will source one profile of someone who is 2, three years ahead of you in the same skill, in the same lane, and ask for their key learnings. After you've connected with these three types of people on LinkedIn, I want you to add them to a hat sequence for two automated follow-ups with a 2-day gap. And once a week is completed, you need to do these two key things. Record one piece of content focusing on solving a scenario, a key learning, anything that you learned from last week, and post it on LinkedIn. After that, I want you to make sure that you're tracking your progress into a Google Sheet tracker that I've given in my downloadable playbook.

[00:18:35]Running this system shouldn't take more than one or two hours of your time every day. But trust me, you will be achieving way more than an average person does even in a full week by following this system in a single day. This way, you will keep on connecting with new business owners that you want to work for. The more business owners you connect with, the more problems you solve, the faster you will land a high ticket opportunity. And secondly, you keep learning and posting your learnings online, which will grow your organic audience as well. This way, people will start looking at you as a subject matter expert who delivers free value. Your network and your proven knowledge on different use cases allows you to charge premium prices for your services. Now, if this has fired you up and you're ready to start working towards your remote career, grab the free work from anywhere blueprint right now. Link can be found in the description. To give you a head start, I'm giving you a list of 50 high ticket companies that hire online in my remote work playbook, and the link is in the description.
