I think the trick is, you need to live in a larger metro area for awhile and establish yourself before you're seen as a viable remote candidate by most employers. That, or start your own busienss. Smaller areas typically lack competitive tech positions and larger areas don't want to take a risk on you when they have a pool of warm bodies to choose from.
