5 Profitable Ways to Make Money Online While Traveling

I can’t tell you how much I love traveling but it has been very limited due to the little humans we have created.

Not the best idea to travel with babies but we’re fine staying put for a little while until we start exploring again.

Whether I’m traveling or not, I still make money from the comfort of my home, the next hotel we stay in, or even on the go from inside our vehicle.

With this thing called the world wide web, there’s really no excuse as to why you can’t make a decent living all while traveling and I want to show you how.

There are just way too many opportunities on the web if you just tried to look for it but I’m going to show you in this post so you don’t have to look very far.

Checkout this short list below and see how making money while traveling is something you can actually do.

These are not your typical penny paying sites, so you can expect to make more than just a couple of pennies for your work.

I have personally tried every single one of these sites so you can bet that they are proven to work.

With a laptop and some basic computer knowledge, you bet that you can make money traveling the world, so let’s get right into things.

1.) Blogging

---

This is a great place to start for anyone looking to make money online and it is exactly where I got my start to this whole online thing in the first place.

With a passion, a simple website and some content, you too can make money using this method, which has been around for quite some time and is probably not going anywhere unless the internet disappears.

There’s nothing better than making money doing something you actually enjoy and that all can be taught at a place called the Wealthy Affiliate.

WA is nothing more than a training facility with a bunch of online entrepreneurs who do affiliate marketing, which is nothing more than selling other people’s products to earn a commission on the internet.

Along with a super helpful community, you will also have access to the many tools that is needed to make money online with your blog.

This is by far the best way to make a living and with a free starter membership, you also get to see what everything is about before you commit to anything.

A really underrated “job” but with the right training and support you will see how people like myself are able to work from anywhere in the world.

2.) Freelancing

Freelancing is a great way to not just make money but a lot of it at that.

This is more of a business rather than a job, so although you will be working for someone else, you are still the boss.

You decide what service you will provide for others and you will also put the price tag on your work.

Before I knew about affiliate marketing, I did this to make some cash but now I’m on the opposite end and rather than getting paid to write, I’m paying others to write for me.

I pay anywhere from $15 – $50 for a thousand word article so you can see how that can add up very quickly.

$50 an hour is a lot more than most of you are making right now, so do a little math and see how much you can make if even just 10 people asked you to write for them.

I recommend you use Freelancer or Upwork as they pay well and their platforms are super easy to work with.

These sites don’t require any fees and their payment process works really well for both parties.

So if you setup a contract with someone, they will put the funds in escrow, which is paid through Paypal.

This means that there is actual money in the system and it will be released once you submit the work.

If they’re not satisfied, they can request for some changes until they are happy with your work.

There is no way to game the system on these sites, so use any of them and you will be pleased with the service they provide.

3.) Drop Shipping

This can be a very profitable source of income if you hit the right markets and gain a lot of experience from the industry.

Drop shipping is the process of putting products on a website, having others purchase them, and then you using that money to purchase the actual product from which you will ship to that buyer.

The goal behind this method is to place products on a site that you create, pricing them at a price from which you can earn a decent profit.

You will then deal with sites like Alibaba, which will give you products at wholesale price, so it’s a lot easier to turn a good profit unlike running a traditional store.

The process is beyond simple but of course there’s a lot more to it than just shipping products out.

Thanks to sites like Oberlo.com, they not only teach you how to do drop shipping but they also allow you to use their site, which automatically uploads products from Alibaba to your site and has everything setup so you can start taking orders and shipping products out.

This will require some extra money for advertising, so keep that in mind if this is something you plan on doing.

So if you have a pretty solid budget, this business alone can make you thousands of dollars in a single month.

4.) Fiverr

---

Not the most profitable out of the bunch but there is still a lot of money to be made on Fiverr.com.

From website design, to creating silly commercials, this site has something for everyone.

This is one quick way to make $5 bucks but with an updated version to the site, you can now make thousands of dollars doing simple tasks.

I personally have had so much work done for me on this site and I continue to use it up until now.

If you are good with Photoshop, create some cool graphics.

If you have a huge following on social media, get paid to send out a tweet for someone.

The types of jobs on this site are pretty crazy and I’m sure you’ll like it.

Go to Fiverr.com and start browsing the site to see what you can do with one of your silly skills.

5.) More Simple Tasks

---

With sites like Swagbucks and Prize Rebel you can make money doing even simpler tasks than on Fiverr.

Taking short surveys or even just shopping online, you can make money with these sites.

You can very much do this alongside you’re regular job as this is not going to be your best bet to making a lot of money online.

It does work but not recommended for anyone looking to make a living.

Although I am currently not traveling, I still make money where ever I want to and in this case, it’s from our condo overlooking the ocean.

If traveling and making money is something you want to do, give one of these sites a try and you will surely be able to accomplish that task.

I hope this helps and please feel free to leave any questions you may have in the comments section below if you are not sure about anything here.
