Living your dreams has never been equated with earning a decent income. In a traditional sense of the world, earning still means working 9 to 5, saving money for a routine, yearly holiday. However, if you really want to live the life of your dreams and still be able to earn an income, learn how experts do it.
Blogging
One of the easiest ways to earn money while traveling is to blog about it. However, don’t consider this an easy feat. While it is true that you can earn upwards of $500 each month, which could be a very decent income depending on where you are traveling, writing isn’t for everyone. You should be able to write content that your audience loves. Everyone has a different target audience- some write for budget travelers while others write for luxury travelers. There are others who write specifically on a country/city/location. Find your niche and if you can write and bring a lot of traffic on your website, you could get paid for showing ads or for promoting products.
Working at chain restaurants
If you will be living in a country or city for some time and don’t seem to find any other job that could help you in traveling the way you like, simply join as the staff of some chain restaurant. This is a job that requires less skill and you can find a job like this in almost every country these days. The good news is that you could be working in shifts because of which it will be easier to manage travel with work. The only downside here is that you will be working on a minimum wage.
Earning Money Through Sports
As a traveler, there are a few ways to earn money if you have a passion for sports. You can work at chain restaurants or sports bars, or even become a freelance sports writer for online publications. As an additional option, you could start a bookie business and earn a significant amount of money. In order to earn money from sports betting, all you need to do is buy pay per head software and create a user-friendly website that enables customers to place bets. With the right system in place, you can run a successful bookie business and make a lot of money.
Freelancing
It is much easier to get an internet connection, no matter where you are in the world. If you have some skills, a laptop, and an internet connection, you are good to go. Freelancing gives you the independence to work the way you like. When not traveling, you can also work from home. You can easily set up a working space at home by investing in basic office furniture, a desktop, gadgets like a printer, scanner, etc. The income will not be steady and the price you charge per hour of such work depends on your skills and experience. Of course, the more experienced you are, the higher you can charge. The income may be upwards of $500.
Traveling chef

If you are living in a foreign land, you could get a chance to learn their authentic dishes and bring some fresh items to their menu as well. The payment will depend on the country you are living in and the kind of restaurant you work at. However, if you are staying like a local, expect a decent living. In some cases, you could even be provided with an accommodation.
