Always keep in mind, more people make money telling people they can do something than doing it themselves. The real estate space is full of kids telling you how much they make in real estate, and that you can too if you watch their content. But the videos are their income, not real estate. The fiance and trading soaces are the same. And the digital nomad space is no difference. One of the most profitable forms of content right now is making videos telling people they can make money making videos.

When the restaurant industry shut down during the pandemic, I leveraged my culinary experience to develop/adapt recipes, create dietary plans, research new ingredients and teach cooking skills online. As I travel, I supplement my income by being a private chef, catering events and leading food market tours. I also wrote food blog content and contributed to e-cookbooks. What really helps is to brainstorm and make a long list of ways to apply my skills, both online and in person. You need to get comfortable marketing yourself all the time!

Here's a real legit tip guys. Get a CDL. Drive a truck for a few years and buy your own. Set up an LLC and become an owner operator. Work 6-7 months and make 70-80k net each year. Take the rest of the year off and travel each year.

Understanding that with this lifestyle it's not common to work only a a few of hours per day ("at the beach") is key. Many portray it like that but for nearly all nomads, you will need to work most of the day. The tradeoff to the lifestyle is location freedom and experiencing new cultures every few months. Good luck to all who try to pursue this lifestyle. Remember not overthink it. Set up a game plan and just do it.

Very inspiring . I have been in 26 countries and lived in 4. I have been a nomad since the age of 5. Now with the internet I can expand this lifestyle.

To all the new youtubers out there! Keep pushing and never give up, you can do it.

Congrats on15! We are coming up on our 3 year nomad-o-versary. Found your channel while searching for the original videos that inspired us to take this leap, and in that process this video was suggested - subscribed! . (I was re-watching those older ones to see what I thought now after being a little more seasoned.) Looking forward to watching more!

[Keith_Aerotrunk]

Wow, a lot of perspectives presented in this video. A lot and more to learn too. Thank you Kristin for sharing this.

Hi Kristin! Great tips! Being a digital nomad is not easy everyday, it’s a hard work but it’s so rewarding 🙏🏼✨

[Jime]

Thank you for making this video. Peace and blessings to you and your family!

[AriesQfactor]

Thanks Kristin. First saw you during the pandemic from California and now reinventing myself in Thailand. Trying to learn new things but related to things I already know/do.

This is a great summary of the major ways to be able to work remotely! I agree that both the monetize yourself and passive income methods can be very time consuming at the start. It's great though that if you put in the work, it can be very rewarding in the end. I know one of the challenges with finding a remote job is that some companies have been shifting back to being in the office either full time or part time. I've noticed that myself as the traffic on the highways is getting worse lately (back to pre-pandemic times if not worse). As I still want to be able to work remotely full time in the near future, I'm just hoping that if I go the route (for right now) to apply for a fully remote job that they don't turn around 2 months later and say that I have to go into an office. Hopefully enough people as a whole will be able to keep pushing for remote work!

Amazing and inspiring Kristin. I watched Charlie Chang half an hour ago interviewing you and now this video. I am a 62 year old man from the Netherlands and I want to be a Digital Nomad as well. So this was the second youtube Digital Nomad video I watched. I am not sure yet what I am going to do for a (Nomad) living. After watching this video I am thinking of 'online coaching' and, because my hobby is filming and video editing, something like content creator. I want to travel by car throughout Europe. It was always some kind of dream to travel and earning my living in some way. And now I am a bit tired of my job. I want to expand and do not want to wait till I am retired. Again, your video was very inspiring and informative. Thank you and God Bless Kristin. Kees from the Netherlands

Every time you put out a video, I get inspired. I'm currently an independent contractor working for a company out of Boston. I love what I do, but I'm fighting other independent contractors for jobs. I'm pretty much logged in to their site anywhere from 12 to 14 hours a day just to make my self-imposed daily goal. I've been doing it for about 6 years, and this job has allowed me to travel the US in my van and ultimately move to Portugal. But it's exhausting having to compete for jobs. Part of the reason I moved to Portugal is because of the low cost of living so I can still support myself while I try my hand at something else. Your videos always have such great ideas, and they leave me feeling confident I can find something where I'm not tied to my laptop every waking minute. Thanks for all the great information, Kristin!

[Cristypediabetic]

I don't understand why these channels where amazing people guide us to get knowledge and improve our career has little subscribers and channels with bad news and gossips has million of subscribers. Thanks for the tricks.
