Find people on LinkedIn to reach out to.
You should use LinkedIn Recruiter Lite — ChatGPT will create good searches for you. Think of yourself as a recruiter in reverse. You need to not just sell yourself but also the idea of hiring a remote contractor.
Make Loom videos to pitch yourself. Actually PITCH yourself, dont just talk about yourself. Show how you can help them and why you want to work for them. Get a good camera and mic setup and don’t use a phony background. Do not ever mention your desire for a remote job or a desire to work for a US company.
You’re gonna hear 100 nos before your first yes.
Unless you meant remote from Brazil which goes double since that's going to be a super complex tax situation.
I applaud second language speakers, it’s super hard! For context, I work with an Indian 24 year old worker who speaks seven languages and is also very very good at English as a third or fourth, so the competition is very fierce for you all.
Best of luck!

You'd have better luck if you worked locally and had experience before trying to land a remote role in the US.
I know this isn't the news you want to hear but it's the truth

You can work and look for a better job at the same time.
The most likely better job you can get in the next few years would be working in Brazil for an international corporation.
Right now, you are rationalizing avoiding work.
