What do you not like about remote work?
Interview with Andriy, a Wordpress developer & consultant
I think the biggest thing that I don't like is that communication with people on your team is much harder than when you're at the office.
For me personally, it's not that big of an issue because I typically work on projects alone, but I have been working on bigger projects with multiple team members, and it has been much more difficult to communicate with them.
Even though there are many apps like Slack or Skype that help with this process, I feel like face to face communication is still much better and easier.
Andriy has a simple approach to productivity—learn about his one essential remote work tool & his strategy for selecting clients.

Interview with Wilbert, an ESL teacher that remotely teaches English to kids
The only downside in doing remote work is that it can be unpredictable at times.
There are times where there are no students available and you don't get paid.
The other problem is the internet connection. In cases where there is a typhoon or where the connection suddenly becomes disconnected, you can't work. No work means, no pay. But as long as you keep a backup such a prepaid internet, then your all set.
Wilbert is an ESL (English as a Second Language) Teacher that made the jump to remote work to gain more freedom from his office job.
