Wouldn’t it be great to work online? You could go anywhere you want – all you’d have to do is pack your laptop and go. Today I’m going to tell you about some real people who do just that.
The traveling couple: I know of a couple who have been on the road for about five years. Their daughter was only 1 year old when they left the states, laptops and surfboards in hand. They make phone calls, Skype calls, and do hangouts from the road to keep in touch with clients. They conduct seminars and other educational events to teach people how they manage to live a dream life and surf the best waves the world over. Their child has one of the richest educations imaginable and has friends all over the globe.
In reality, there are many couples who do this. When you first hear of it, it seems rather unusual. But the longer you’ve been working online, the more people you hear of who have been doing it quietly for years.
The travel blogger: Not necessarily a couple, but a person who loves traveling and lives to write about it. Being an excellent photographer also makes it easier to make a living this way. There are several ways to earn a living by traveling, laptop in hand.
Some travel bloggers can write about a lot of different topics. Most of them talk about tourism, the best places to eat and stay, local entertainment, etc. Some talk about the conditions of the native populations, the health of the ecosystem in the area, and the trade or lack of it. Almost all travel bloggers seem to bond with the people of the areas they’re enjoying, so they can give you a great feel for local color.
Scientific researchers: These people study animals or other natural features of the landscapes they’re exploring. You’ve seen all those shows on National Geographic, right? Well, somebody is making a living traveling around the world and making these films. Thanks to technology, these kinds of jobs are becoming more and more prevalent, and bosses are being more open to the idea of work-at-home or work-overseas employees or independent contractors.
If you decide to do this, you should make sure and do something you love. If you want to make money, you should explore opportunities in the money-making niche. If you want to explore the health and fitness of people all over the world, than you’ll want to explore the health and fitness niche to find ways to fund your travels. You can find sponsors, you can sell health and fitness packages, or you could conduct a series of workshops, perhaps based on a book, in many countries.
Let your mind wander and start brainstorming all the ways you can make money online. I’ve been involved in the online marketing community for over a year, and the experience gets richer over time. Before you know it, your “laptop lifestyle” will seem very normal to you, but probably far more gratifying than you can imagine.
Have you ever experienced the laptop lifestyle? Do you want to work online and love it? Please let me know what you’re thinking in the comments section below. As always, I’m here to help you find your way if you decide this kind of lifestyle is for you.
