How to Make Cash While on the Road

Traveling for some is a way of life. For these people, work is simply a means to getting back on the road; with a bag always packed ready to take off, they’re eagerly awaiting the next time they can up sticks and head once again into the wilderness. However, there’s a different way to indulge one’s travel bug – and that’s to make money on the road, earning cash while you travel so that you never have to return home to get back into full-time employment. This post offers advice on how to make money while traveling abroad to help you realize this dream.

Start a Blog

You never know where a blog might lead you. You might start out simply posting a few travel stories and, before you know it, your traffic is increasing to such an extent that you’re able to make money out of marketing, product placement, and advertising fees.

Making a blog has never been easier: you simply have to choose one of the many free blog support platforms and create your site from the pre-made templates that they host. From there, keep posting and gaining an audience and work on how you can monetize the attention that you gather.

Become an Influencer 

Made famous by Instagram models and those ‘travel porn’ nomads who’re always living life on white-sand beaches and in funky-looking foreign cocktail bars, influencer status opens an incredible array of doors.

For one, you get sent free stuff – a lot of it. The more followers you have, the more you’ll get sent, and the more you’ll be paid to feature a company’s products. The same applies to destinations, hotels, spas, and other tourist attractions that you can help promote. Work to build your influencer profile to secure ever-more lucrative offers for work.

Freelance Digitally

You might have recently heard of such thing as a digital nomad, and rolled your eyes at the expression. These individuals work on their laptops, requiring just an internet connection to get working from whichever destination they please.

Of course, there’s an incredibly wide variety of work that you’ll be able to find remotely – including writing, designing, coding, teaching, and coaching – so all you need to do is build a contact list, get your first clients, and start working as much as you wish from a foreign land.

Other Novel Ways

There are other short-term ways to make cash that can be a little riskier than the above – and you’re advised to be careful with your cash if you’d like to give these options a go. You might play lottery online to win big with your numbers, should they come up.

Or, you could start investing what money you have in bitcoin, currencies or global markets, in an attempt to make cash in the short-term that you’ll reinvest daily to make use of tiny fluctuations in the price of stocks. Finally, old-fashioned betting is at your disposal: if you get lucky, you might be able to finance years of travel.

These tips should help you guide your life towards that of someone constantly on the move, making money as they go, living what many people regard as the dream existence abroad.
