Generating an income with a business that can be run from anywhere is the dream of many people who would like to be location independent.
There are multiple ways to make money as a traditional freelancer (graphic design, web design, author etc.). The following suggestions are more ideas for those who don’t have the typical freelancing skills
1) Virtual Assistant to other professionals – a location independent professional has unique requirements when it comes to looking for help. They need somebody to research their travel plans (flights and accommodation), help running their business as they travel the world and general admin assistance.
2) Online Coach – there are any number of untapped niche coaching businesses which I can think of. If you already run a coaching business but it’s not doing well enough yet to let you live your location independent life, then consider tapping in to some of the niches out there to grow or add additional streams to your business.
3) Blog & write online for pay – there are many sites like payperpost or smorty which pay you to blog & promote certain services. Try blog networks like GigaOM which could help you get a paid blogging post.
4) Build a membership or subscription site – whilst this may take a while to grow big enough to pay you a decent income, it is effectively a passive stream of income which is what a location independent professional should always be looking for.
5) How To products – like the online coach business, think about what knowledge you have or things you’ve achieved that others would pay to learn and then get creative with the different delivery formats you could use to share this knowledge (ebooks, audio books, videos, group classes etc.).
And remember, if you’re smart about where you choose for your location independent lifestyle, your financial requirements could drop drastically and enable you to live an even better lifestyle than you currently live despite earning less.
