Become Location Independent: Jobs You Can Do While You Travel
Many of us dream about selling our stuff and traveling the world fulltime. However, financial obligations often keep us where we are. Quitting a job can be a big and stressful step to take, and often brings a fear of being left homeless and without an income to the surface. This keeps lots of people from taking the trip they always wanted.
Luckily, the work-life culture is changing and working remotely is emerging fast, making it easier to create an income on your own terms. But before you take a big step towards location independence, it’s recommended to find a job ahead of time. In this way, you’ll decrease the chance of being left without any income at all. In this article, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for jobs you can do from any location you like.
Become a content creator
Content creator is a job that anyone with a bit of fantasy can do. All you need is a laptop and some designing skills, and perhaps a phone with a good camera. There are lots of companies that look for content creators, and often give you the opportunity to do this work at home. However, if you’d rather create your own company, becoming an OnlyFans content creator is a possibility as well.
To be a creator on this platform takes some courage, but it is certainly a great way to make money while you travel. All you need to do is upload pictures regularly and find loyal customers. Once you have created a solid customer base, you’ll be able to sell even one picture unlimited amounts of time. Some customers also ask for personalized content, which can earn you even more money.
Help people as a writing aid
If you’re good at writing, then getting a job as a writing aid is a great way to make money. With just a quick Google search action you’ll find lots of copywriting, thesis writing, and biography writing jobs for the taking. If all of these jobs sound appealing to you, you could find an agency that gives out all sorts of writing jobs on a project basis.
Usually, these kinds of jobs get paid by word and not by the hour. This can result in a high salary if you write fast. The only thing you need for this job is a laptop, since communication with employers usually also takes place online. All in all, there will always be writing jobs available and therefore writing can be a great source of income.
Use your skills as a virtual assistant
Another job that can be done online and is highly sought after is becoming a virtual assistant (VA in short). Many busy people are looking for assistants just to help them out online. The job is very versatile, but does require some organization skills. Some tasks you might be conducting are: answering emails, planning meetings, managing social media channels, making travel arrangements, and sometimes making phone calls.
You’ll need a laptop, phone and decent internet connection to conduct this job. Do keep in mind that you’ll be in contact with your employer a lot, and that you’ll sometimes need to be available after regular working hours as well. Sometimes, employers require you to be in the same timezone as they are, and therefore it’s best if you can find an employer in the country that you are traveling.
