8 Digital Nomads Explain How They Make Money While Traveling

I talked with eight digital nomads, freelancers, online business owners, and remote workers about how they make money online and how they got started in the digital nomad lifestyle, including how much they made when they started and how many income streams they have. I was shocked to hear that some people started working remotely while traveling with as little as one freelance client or $200 in monthly income.

    Hey Kristin! Hope your day is going well. And also, thanks for uploading. So informative!!! But I was just curious Kristin, on what are your thoughts on so many popular KZreadrs calling it quits? It would be so neat if you can make a video in the future about this, or talk about it on a livestream on KZread? Do you think it's burnout, the new algorithm, mental health, etc.?

    Sweeping negative generalizations about working with men, I wonder how you'd feel if videos were put out by men slamming working with too many women... I think either way around is sexist and nasty.

    "Basically your friends change every week or two or a month" - In several companies I had colleagues with whom I was going for a lunch nearly every day and after a year or two I quit or they quit and when I message them, sometimes they don't even bother to respond (or they respond with one liner: "I am fine"). After having such experience over and over, I just got "disillusioned".

    I wish I had someone to work with and to "not do it alone" I would like a tech/ digital marketer partner and I would be the creative one. Im also determined to have a digital nomad life, but I would eventually like to have a home base. I love that" dont let people say it cant be done or sustained" Hmmm...is that my business, " how do we solve dating for digital nomads?" 😮

    Love this. Really love the perspective of the ex military. Would love to hear more from people who may be slightly older and had a “stable” lifestyle before they jumped in. Wondering if the fearlessness of your younger years helps people tackle this and how older people could find a way to transition into this lifestyle

    Hi Steven, I'm not sure which tool he works on but I think he meant doing premium coaching and consulting. For example, doing SaaS business consulting with a corporate client profile rather than competing on Fiverr to land gigs with sole proprietors where price is the lowest common denominator.

    Good video Kristin! Thinking about the opposite of what they represent. A boat load of people who have made a tradeoff in terms of not having a home, pickup truck, dirt bike, a family physician, or a spouse / best friend. Just an observation. But the nomads do have an appeal.

    Dang, I didn't know about this cruise. Would have love to be on it. If Kristin can't date successfully as a nomad the rest of us are doomed. I certainly have not been successful at it. I have looked to no avail. I have not found someone my age that can travel almost at will. Sad. I am not willing to give it up so maybe I am the problem?
