Are you good at writing or editing? You can get freelance writing jobs or copy editing jobs for blogs or websites.

Are you a marketing maven? There are many marketing jobs online such as a remote social media manager.

Are you fluent in another language? You can become an online translator.

You can find remote freelance work on job board sites like Indeed.

 

2. Tutor or Teach

If you have the passion for teaching and traveling, you can do both.

You can teach English overseas. However, you will have to do some research and find schools that are hiring. You will also have to stay in the country where you’re teaching.

Another option is to teach or tutor online. All you need is an internet connection, a laptop, and some Bluetooth earbuds.

You can also offer virtual tutoring services. You could tutor specific subjects or languages. You can find virtual tutoring jobs on online job boards.

 

3. Rent Out Your Home, Car, or Space

If you own a home or even a car, you can earn income by renting out space.

You can rent out your house through platforms such as Airbnb. Depending on the size of your home, you can rent out the whole space at once or you can rent out multiple bedrooms to different people.

You can also rent out your car through car-sharing websites like Getaround. There are even apps that allow you to rent out storage space, parking space, or garage.

You will have to be creative if you want to manage these rentals remotely. For example, you can install digital locks or a digital keypad for your home.

 

4. Make Passive Income

Another way for how to become a digital nomad is to make passive income. One way to do this is to create an online course. If you’re really skilled in an area, you can create an online course.
