over the past several years I've started many successful online businesses and I actually did most of it while traveling full-time and even though I'm no longer a digital Nomad I do love to travel a lot and I love when I can travel while still making money so today I'm going to show you 10 different ways that you can make money online while traveling make sure to stick around for all of them because any one of these could be that one business that could totally turn your life around but before we get into that let's go someplace a little nicer and a little warmer

all right so this first one I think is pretty cool because this is something that you can do whenever you have any free time while you're traveling you're not really tied down to a schedule so it's very flexible and you really need absolutely no experience in order to be doing this something called microtasking so microtasking is when a company hires you to do these really small little tasks things like they'll send you images and you have to draw boxes around certain objects in those images they'll send you a bunch of search results and you're going to rate them based on which ones are the most useful what you're doing here is you're helping to train these AI algorithms and you can get paid to do this so there's a lot of different websites where you can do this one of the ones that I found that you can check out if you're interested in this is called tooa all right so this first online

business is perfect if you're looking to make money while traveling because all you need to do it is your smartphone and I'm talking about becoming a Tik Tok influencer now this doesn't mean you're going to be posting videos of yourself dancing I'm talking about making very intentional videos where you recommend different products to people then if someone watches that video and clicks through to Facebook shops where that item is available and they actually purchase it you earn a commission for it and this is actually really easy to set up because this is all built into Tik Tok and Tik Tok is pushing this really hard they want influencers to do this and to make money with this so if you're looking to make money while traveling this is really perfect because again anyone can do it as long as you have a smartphone and really that's it all right so this next business is

great way to make money while traveling because it doesn't really require you to have anything to get started with it it's called merch by Amazon so the way this works is you are going to upload designs into merch by Amazon and then anyone can buy those on t-shirts mugs or hats as soon as they buy it Amazon will actually print it and send it to the customer and send you profit for it and you don't actually have to send any of the items yourself or really do any of the Fulfillment yourself so it's really great if you're traveling you just upload these designs and Amazon takes care of the rest this next way to

make money is a really interesting one it's called scribe now this is a website where you can actually write captions for videos and it's actually a lot easier than you think because they give you an automated transcription at first and then you just have to go through it fill in any gaps and make sure it's all correct pretty simple to do for just $5 to $10 an hour so you can check them out at

at scribe this next online business is perfect if you're looking to make money while you travel because you don't actually have to do the work yourself it's called drop servicing this is where you sell a service to a client but instead of doing the work you're yourself you then Outsource it to someone else for less money so a really good example of this is you can reach out to YouTubers and tell them hey if you hire me I'm going to actually edit all your videos for you I will make your thumbnails uh upload them and make sure they're fully optimized for you if they then take you on and you know you can charge a lot of money for the service you can then hire Freelancers on websites like Fiverr to actually do all that work for you you're just the one to kind of organize it and put it together into a nice package and this is perfect for anyone who's looking to make money while traveling because you can do this fully remotely and be making your money while at the beach now another great way to make

money while traveling is by starting a YouTube channel and of course you can become like a travel vlogger that's a lot of fun but you don't even need to actually even show your face you can start an automated faceless YouTube channel you can use a service like chat gbt to help you come up with ideas and to write scripts and then even have ai do voiceovers for you then you can use stock footage from websites like invado and you can create an entire YouTube channel where you never actually have to film anything yourself or even talk yourself and especially not even show your face so it's perfect for anyone who's looking to make money while they're traveling so remember I told you before about how you can make videos on Tik Tok and then actually direct people to Tik Tok shops where they can actually purchase those products well what if you were the one who is actually selling on Tik Tok shops and this is actually a lot simpler to do than you might think because we can actually drop ship onto Tik Tok shops using Amazon or Walmart or other retailers like that it's actually really easy to set up selling on Tik Tok shops is really hot right now it's really a big opportunity the next business I want to talk about that's great for traveling is Amazon Associates so if you sign up for Amazon Associates you can recommend Amazon products to potential customers and if they purchase with your link you earn a small commission this is very similar to doing the same thing on TiK ToK by recommending products on Tik Tok shops but this you can do really anywhere so you can make YouTube videos about this you can create a blog about this and once you actually get it set up it becomes pretty passive and you can do this from anywhere in the world including when you're traveling
