How do you see the chances of someone without a degree getting an entry-level, low-paid, remote job in this space? What would be things that could help out? Certifications? Nano-degrees like Udacitys? A portfolio of public work?

It's highly unlikely. There is a lot of competition for entry-level jobs and not many remote positions available. The barriers to entry are exactly academic qualifications over certifications and portfolios.

Remote job? Probably not without experience and/or connections.

Portfolio is going to be the most helpful, followed by certifications and nano degrees.
