I have seen many teams having reservations about hiring remote PMs because they worry about their ability to be effective.

Apply to companies that are fully remote. You are at a disadvantage if the development team is co-located, and you are remote and/or in a different time zone. It is a lot easier to be successful if the rest of the team is distributed.
Show experience in managing remote projects. For instance, many of the open-source project teams are highly distributed, and if you can show success in that space, the company is more likely to trust you.
