What are the requirements and options for applying for a DTV visa in Thailand, especially regarding the letter of sponsorship?

Question

EDITED: P.S. my husband, who as stated below,, already has his Non-b and a registered business in Thailand, and will be my sponsor.  My remote work is commission based.

To obtain a DTV visa, there is the 500,000 thb required, some people stipulate that 30 days are accepted while others stipulate 3 months are needed.
The 500,000 thb is not a problem, however, there is also the "letter of sponsorship" option.  Has anyone applied with the letter of sponsorship?
My husband has a Non-B with work permit and registered business, and I work remotely for a company in South Africa. 
Initially we were going to go the Non-O dependent visa route, but due to the remote work I'd actually prefer the DTV (can't work on Non-O obviously). 
I'm currently in Thailand on a 60-day visa exempt and realize I would need to apply from outside of Thailand.

My ultimate would be to find employment over here and also just go the Non-B route, but it's a bit tougher than expected because I unfortunately don't hold a degree.

Thank you, and looking forward to receiving positive and helpful comments.

In your case, if using your husband for sponsorship you'd need marriage certificate, and likely a million baht in his bank account, even though he's not a DTV user, he's having to support 2 people. Pick a nearby embassy that only requires 3 months of the funding requirements. Bottomline is you need to present a believable stable financial situation.

I'm also looking and researching into the sponsorship and I have read on an Embassy website, you can have a sponsor, such as a Thai person or a foreigner on an LTV, either must have the 500k and provide a letter advising they will cover you. Some embassies would consider a family member, but discretionary and very much down to the specific one you are applying to. I'm waiting that response.

If you are a remote worker, you should submit a letter of employment or contract with your client stating you work remotely. Not a letter of sponsorship.

You might find yourself best to apply soft power, clears up lots of issues and costs aren't significant, Muay Thai or cooking are the most used ... [mention redacted] is quite knowledgable and makes it easy sending all forms sane day. Good luck.
