Becoming a digital Nomad

Would you like to travel around the world while earning money online? That’s what the life of a digital nomad looks like. A digital nomad is someone who works online and is not location-bound or time-dependent. It is therefore possible for a digital nomad to earn money from Thailand, Mexico, Colombia, South Africa or Indonesia.

More and more people are becoming digital nomad. They don’t want to work 5 days a week from 9 to 5 all their lives, but rather want to get the most out of today!

When you want to become a digital nomad, you may be wondering where to start. That is why we have prepared a list for you with the best digital nomad professions that everyone could practice.

1. Crypto trading #

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that you can trade. By selling crypto for a price that is higher than the purchase price, you make a profit. The advantage of crypto is that you can trade it completely online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We see that more and more people are making their money with crypto.

The downside is that it takes a lot of time, energy and money before you make a lot of money with crypto. Taking a crypto course can help you execute profitable crypto trades. Once you make money trading crypto, you can travel the world as a digital nomad. All you need is a laptop with an internet connection.

Another tip if you travel a lot with a hardware wallet. Many people use multisignature wallets. If they lose their hardware wallet, they can still access their cryptocurrencies.

2. Copy writing #

Copywriting can be a lucrative business. Every website needs texts to inform its visitors, but also to be found better in Google. Retrain yourself to be a true SEO and copywriting expert so that websites hire you for copywriting.

Copywriters often charge a fee per word or per hour. The amount of money you can earn with this depends entirely on the quality you deliver. Are your articles well found in the search engines? Then there is a good chance that you can ask for a higher fee. But your texts must of course also ensure that readers are directed to an action. For example, they need to be persuaded to buy a certain product or download an e-book.

If you want to get started as a copywriter, you can sign up on websites like UpWork and Fiverr. These are websites where you can offer your services to clients. It is also possible to apply for the calls placed by clients.

3. Developer #

Many companies are looking for developers. You can respond to this by teaching yourself a programming language and offering your work as a freelancer. You can then develop completely online applications for other companies. Here too you can use platforms such as UpWork and Fiverr.

Learning a programming language can take a lot of time and effort, but it will pay off in the end. Not only because a developer’s hourly wage is high, but also because the demand for developers will probably increase more and more in the coming years.

There are many different programming languages ​​you can learn. Python and JavaScript are popular for developing web applications. It’s best to focus on one programming language to become an expert in your field.

4. Designer #

You can also design websites, business cards, logos, corporate identities and more online! In this way you contribute to the image of companies. Many companies are looking for designers who want to work in-house, but because the supply is low, they are increasingly opting for freelancers. You can therefore work directly as a freelancer for a company, or of course offer yourself on UpWork and Fiverr.

Before you can get started as a designer, you obviously need experience. You can take various courses online that teach you to use special design software. But there are also courses that explain how you can design the best designs from a marketing point of view.

You will notice that it gets better and better over time. Again, you can choose a specific branch that you follow. You can become an expert in designing websites, or you can dive deeper into designing logos and corporate identities. In general, the more expertise you have in a specific area, the higher the fee you can ask from clients.

5. Affiliate Marketing #

Do you already know what affiliate marketing is? This is promoting other people’s products and services for which you receive compensation. Often you only receive this compensation when the other person has made a purchase after you have recommended it.

In recent years, more and more affiliate websites have been added. Affiliate marketing is often carried out on its own website, while it is also possible to conduct it via YouTube or other social media channels. You place a link with a unique code in the URL, so that people can check who the link comes from. Does someone buy something through your link? Then you will receive a compensation. The fee is often a percentage of the sales amount.

The disadvantage of affiliate marketing is that there is a lot of competition and it can take a long time to make money. In recent years, more and more people have realized that you can earn a passive income with affiliate marketing quite ‘easy’. That is why it is difficult to get between these competitors. It is important to be unique and to find a product/niche that few affiliate marketers find themselves in.

The advantage of affiliate marketing is that you can earn money online, even when you are not actively working. Once your link is online, anyone can make a purchase at any time. So you can also earn money while you sleep!

6. Virtual assistant #

As the name suggests, virtual assistants work completely online. When you perform this work, you are an assistant to someone else. You assist someone else with his or her work. Think of answering emails, scheduling appointments in his/her calendar, doing research, answering the phone and writing or checking texts.

The advantage of this work is that it is versatile. As a virtual assistant you perform different types of tasks. In addition, there is always a great demand for a virtual assistant. Mainly online entrepreneurs like to have a virtual assistant who can take on additional tasks, so that the entrepreneur can focus on his or her most important tasks. You also learn a lot as a virtual assistant, because you get a look behind the scenes at another entrepreneur.

When you’re a virtual assistant, you can find work on websites like UpWork and Fiverr. Many people here are looking for a virtual assistant, but we also see many calls for a virtual assistant within Facebook groups for digital nomads.

7. Ecommerce #

Many people make money by selling products online. You could develop a product yourself and then sell it in a webshop. The advantage is that you then have a unique product that others do not sell, and you therefore have a greater position of power. You can also do this completely online. You engage a manufacturer for the development of the product and have the shipment carried out by a distribution center.

It is also possible to sell other people’s products, also known as dropshipping. You then only ensure that the product is actually sold. You do this by, for example, advertising on social media platforms. When someone then makes a purchase, another party takes care of shipping the product.

The advantage of e-commerce is that you can earn a lot of money with it and it can be scaled up almost infinitely. So you could earn more and more money with e-commerce. That is why we have seen a strong increase in the number of people earning money from e-commerce in recent years.

8. Sell Online Course #

Do you have a trait that you are good at? You could create a course in which you explain to others how to learn this trait or skill. Selling courses can make a lot of money because it can eventually become passive income. You place the course on a webshop and you put up advertisements so that everyone knows about your course. Then you wait for the sales to roll in, after which you make money.

The downside is that there is often a lot of competition. Therefore, you will have to look for a niche where there is little to no competition, or make sure that your course has something unique. The content of the course must also be good and people must really benefit from the content. If you don’t, this will lead to many negative reviews, after which sales will decrease.

You can set up a course all by yourself. You record the videos with a camera, have someone edit the videos and upload them to a website.

Conclusion #

Nowadays it is quite easy to make money online. However, you will have to do your best, because success does not just come to you. Although the life of a digital nomad looks easy, in reality it is not always that way.

The professions we mentioned above are often encountered within the world of digital nomads. You too can be successful in this. Find something that suits you and make sure you become an expert at it. Don’t give up when things go against you, but always keep going until you reach your goals and dreams.
