Remote writing and content jobs
Writing roles, including copywriters, content marketers, editors and technical writers, are hired on samples. That makes them some of the most location-blind jobs in remote work, as long as the company is not restricting its hiring region.
The roles below are live openings at companies with career pages we track. Each carries a hiring-region label, and freelance writing leads are separately collected on the Gigs page.
Right now there are 12 live roles from 9 companies, 8 of them labeled Worldwide or Open from Nigeria.

How to actually get hired from Nigeria
Most remote applications go into a pile nobody reads. Before you apply, you can check two things a listing rarely tells you: whether you can really do this job from Nigeria, and who at the company to reach directly.

Is the role still open, and open from Nigeria? How you would be engaged and paid, the working hours in Lagos time, and whether the company looks legitimate. Anything we cannot verify is marked “not found”, never guessed.
Direct outreach pack · ₦6,000
Everything in the report, plus who to contact at the company and a specific message written from your CV for that job, so you reach a hiring contact instead of applying into a pile. If we cannot find a contact, we say so.
Reports are bought per role, from that role’s own page. The Nigeria label and the Lagos hours on every card stay free.

Questions, answered.
Can I get a remote writing job from Nigeria?
Yes. Content and technical-writing roles at companies hiring worldwide are realistic, and freelance writing leads (see the Gigs page) are an even faster start. Keep three strong samples in the niche you are applying to.
What is the difference between a content writer and a technical writer?
Content writers produce marketing material such as blog posts, landing pages and emails. Technical writers produce documentation, API guides and help-centre articles, and usually earn more.
