Web designer
Web design has been on the list of the most popular and sought-after remote professions for several years and 2022 is unlikely to be an exception. There are several areas of design. For example, the design of platforms and the creation of full-fledged interfaces, product design, UX design etc.
To start working in this field, you have to get familiar with essential design principles, some software for designers (for example, Adobe Illustrator, Figma or Photoshop), color theory and typography. Your main task will be to tell the story via the visual, so be ready to play with forms a lot to find out what will help you to tell that story in the best way.
Translator
Knowing languages is important not only because it helps you to avoid some mental disorders, it could also literally make you richer.
Some common languages may not bring you great bonuses, but knowing some rare languages could bring you nice benefits. For example, an open position for a bengali interpreter. Statistics show that such translators are even more in demand, since the target language is not the most popular and advertised.
It would seem that today, with the advent of Internet translators, the profession should gradually become a thing of the past. With the help of programs, you can translate different texts, which, in general, many do. Moreover over the years, according to some experts, the profession of an interpreter will turn into a piece, as a person will be crushed by a computer. However, the majority is sure that the machine will never replace people. Those who use an online translator know what these clumsy texts are. Sometimes they are even difficult to understand.
Internet marketer
Specialists in this field are engaged in the promotion of web resources. To make the work as efficient as possible, several tools are used:
- contextual advertising;
- targeted advertising;
- content promotion;
- cooperation with bloggers, creation of special projects and so on.
Since many companies today have websites, they need competent promotion on the Internet. Due to the huge competition, this is not so easy to do. It is important not only to attract new people, but to lead them to a purchase and turn them into regular customers. For this you need to conduct the right marketing company. So experts in this field are constantly needed.
