Or imagine you’re surfing on one of Thailand’s pristine beaches. After a day on the waves, you go back to your hotel, check in on your online business, and order dinner with a Mojito.
This doesn’t have to be your retirement dream when you hit 65 years old. You can live this life now. But only if you set your mind to it, and have the courage and confidence to start an online business.
Entrepreneurs around the world are living as digital nomads with just a laptop, toothbrush and a strong Wi-Fi connection.
If you think this could never be you, think again. We’re going to show you 10 business ideas that will allow you to travel, work and live wherever you want. And a growing list of countries are offering six or even 12-month work visas to attract people like you.
Before we dive into the top 10 business ideas, let’s check out the amazing benefits of being a digital nomad.
And what even is a digital nomad?
In a world that is increasingly interconnected, traditional boundaries are fading away into the history books—giving rise to a new breed of adventurers: the digital nomad. These wandering spirits have unlocked the secret to living life on their terms.
The allure of becoming a digital nomad is undeniable. It promises a life untethered from the mundane and filled with unforgettable experiences. Imagine the whole world becoming your office. The open road your companion.
Here are just some of the benefits…
Now that you’re officially excited about building this life, let’s see how to make it happen. Because life costs money—even if you’re staying at a cheap European hostel and eating bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So, how do you fund this dream lifestyle?
Here are 10 digital nomad business ideas you can start working toward today.
The first option is almost as old as the Internet itself. Blogging. Yes, blogging is still a thing—and people are making real dough by sharing their tips, stories and experiences on a personal blog.
Starting a blog can be a perfect business idea for digital nomads. It allows you to create a global community of readers and connect with like-minded people from a variety of backgrounds. Your blog can be a hub for fellow travelers, aspiring nomads and others interested in your niche. By fostering discussions, encouraging comments and building readership, you can grow a community of supporters and collaborators who share your passion.
As your blog grows in popularity and influence, you can explore various revenue streams such as affiliate marketing. This is where you promote products or services and earn a commission for each sale or referral made through a unique affiliate link. You can also make money on your blog by running ads, providing sponsored content, digital or branded products, or even offering exclusive content or services.
Starting a podcast can be an awesome way for digital nomads to carve out their own niche, create a loyal following and make money at the same time. Armed with a laptop, a microphone and Internet connection, you’ll have all the tools you need to launch your podcast.
Podcasting allows you the flexibility to record episodes at your own pace, edit on the go (or on the beach), and connect with your audience from wherever you are.
Traveling will also help you generate ideas for content that resonates with people from diverse cultures. In your podcast episodes, you can share your unique insights, stories and expertise, creating a connection with your listeners.
As a digital nomad, you’ll also have more opportunities for collaborations, sponsorships and partnerships with people and businesses from around the globe. And you’ll be building your personal brand and establishing yourself as an authority in your niche.
Monetizing your podcast can give you the sustainable income stream to live as a digital nomad. Revenue streams like sponsorships, advertising, merchandise, offering exclusive content or bonus episodes to your audience, affiliate marketing or Amazon’s Creator Program are all ways to make money on podcasting.
Dropshipping is when you sell T-shirts, hats or other physical goods online with no upfront inventory costs. In other words, once your online store is set up, the customer buys a t-shirt and the manufacturing company you use creates a shirt and ships it. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money to buy 1,000 T-shirts and then try to sell them.
It’s a way to build an online business with practically no money down and lots of potential benefits in revenue streams. It’s also relatively easy to set up an online store for your products. Again, you won’t need to handle inventory since the supplier ships directly to customers. There is a very low barrier to entry and you’ll be able to run your business from anywhere in the world.
You could also become a graphic designer. Maybe you already have design skills you can tap into or polish that will enable you to start a freelance online business. You can provide design services like logo creation, website design or social media graphics. And websites like Fiverr and Upwork are great for freelancers to find their next job.
Becoming a graphic designer can be a really fun and creative field. If you have a passion for visual communication and want to pursue a career in graphic design, develop your skills and knowledge. Start by gaining a foundation in design principles, color theory, typography and composition. You can take a design course that will help you learn everything you need to know.
Virtual assistants provide administrative, technical or creative assistance to businesses, entrepreneurs or other customers remotely. If you like to help others, being a virtual assistant could be really rewarding. And the pay can be good—certainly enough to cover your costs of living as a digital nomad.
Becoming a virtual assistant offers flexibility, a ton of different opportunities, and of course the chance to work remotely. Look at your skills, experiences and interests to determine your areas of expertise as a virtual assistant. You can focus on tasks like administrative support, research, content writing, customer service or project management. Identifying your niche will help you target specific clients and tailor your services to their needs.
The world of online coaching has been really lucrative for a lot of people. Use your expertise in a certain field to offer coaching or consulting services to clients via video calls or online courses. You could become a life coach, diet coach, health and wellness coach or financial coach—the sky’s the limit! You could even create a digital course and sell it to start earning passive income to fund your digital nomad life.
Have you always had a knack for writing? Does writing come easily to you? Did you excel in your English classes in high school and college? You may want to consider starting a freelance writing business.
Offer your writing services to clients and soon you’ll have a solid list of connections to keep your work steady. Again, freelance websites like Fiverr and Upwork are great places to start.
Another great digital nomad business idea is helping others manage their social media accounts. You can create and schedule content, engage with their followers and analyze metrics. Lots of people out there are looking for help with managing their social media accounts and don’t really have the time to mess with it.
You could even start your own social media agency that offers clients digital marketing services like SEO, content marketing and paid advertising campaigns.
Tutoring others also gives you the chance to earn money and work from anywhere in the world. You could teach English to foreign exchange students or even help students prep for college entrance exams like the ACT or SAT. Offer tutoring services in various subjects or languages through online platforms or through your own website.
We saved the best for last. We think one of the best ways to make money online and work as a digital nomad is to use Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing. With a little education and motivation, it’s super easy to start an online self-publishing business with Amazon’s KDP platform. You don’t even have to be an author. You can put together a short eBook or even use a ghostwriter to create a full-length book. Publishing on Amazon’s KDP is free and they give 70% royalties for each eBook you sell. That adds up fast.
We’re so passionate about this last business idea that we’ve put together a free on-demand webinar that teaches everyday people how they can make money through Amazon. In just a few simple steps, people are bringing in thousands of dollars a month in totally passive income. This would easily allow you to live and travel as a digital nomad.
Now is the time to take control of the direction of your life. Don’t let another month go by waiting for someone to force you to do it. Take action now! Set goals and deadlines for yourself and, most of all, believe that you can do it.
The benefits of becoming a digital nomad go far beyond just the allure of travel. It’s an entire lifestyle—a mindset shift. It brings liberation, flexibility, more productivity, and the opportunity to build amazing friendships with people around the world.
Embrace the power of the Internet and start building an online business today. Soon you’ll be ready to pack up your laptop, put in your resignation, untether your spirit and join the ranks of those who have chosen to live life unbound.
The world is waiting for you…
