Make Money While Traveling = Possible (Part 2)
Let’s get right into what you really want to know. How do you make money while traveling?!
For me, I work as a social media and marketing consultant. Mainly I work for companies that are web based and early stages, so they understand that working remotely is normal and acceptable. I help people with building their social strategies, email marketing, Facebook Ads, etc. Every job I let them know up front that I only work remotely and let them know how I can help them. This is how I’ve been able to travel for the last 7 months and how I’m planning to continue to travel.
If you read the part 1 article, I gave you the best jobs to consider for working remotely. Any of those jobs I recommend contacting website startups or starting your own consulting business (i.e. build a simple website that lists your skills).
Here are some websites that list remote jobs working for a company:

The other alternative is to try out a new job/skill while you travel. Here are some practical and out of the box ideas:
Freelance work on Fiverr or Upwork
Teach english
Seasonal work on a farm
Become a dive instructor
Work at a hostel
Become a tour guide
Those jobs may not perk your interest, but are very doable in many countries and could help you learn more about yourself and about the culture around you!
There’s no holding back now… you can put yourself out there and travel more! Even if you just take time off and test the waters, you’re living your dream!
I'd love to hear your stories, comment below ♥
I live in a third world country, social media management is in it's infancy. I'd love to get into to it more as I believe I have a lot to offer with a business marketing degree and what I think is a pretty spot on facebook/twitter/etc presence for my restaurant. Would love to get you into a slack chat room for the evening and pick your brain one day :) Also, might entice you to come on holiday to my side of the world to spread the word how awesome we are! Cool posts though, shame to see awesome bloggers like you not getting the steem you deserve.
Awesome article. I'm in the process of making the transition to remote work now. I've got the rainy day fund set aside if my first few months don't go as planned.
