So, you want to be a successful digital nomad when you are travelling. But which online business strategy do you choose? There seem to be so many out there, with each so-called guru touting a different philosophy, that it can be challenging to narrow down a business strategy that actually works.
However, when you remove all of the window dressing and break the strategies down to the basics, only three make up nearly all of the entrepreneurial ventures out there. Which one you choose will depend on your personal preference, your unique skills and where you see a hole in the market.
Service Providers
The first of our three top strategies is to provide some form of online service. There are many occupations that provide a service where someone can become a digital nomad. Graphic design is one good example; freelance writing is another.
Whenever you are doing a service for somebody else and they are paying you for it (while not as the employee of another person or company) you are an entrepreneur.
Affiliate Marketing
Another big boom in internet entrepreneurship for digital nomads is affiliate marketing. With the creation of affiliate websites like Booking.com and Skyscanner and the affiliate programs offered by leading retailers like Amazon, big profits can be potentially earned, affiliate marketing is one of the most popular online ventures today for digital nomads and travel bloggers.
With affiliate marketing, you find the customer, send them over to the seller to buy the product and the seller pays you a commission. Of course, you have to find the right product, not to mention have a solid plan for getting in front of people, which can be difficult but is achievable if you have a good blog or social media account.
Info Product Creation
Rather than being the person that receives the commission when someone buys a product from someone else, you could be the person that they are buying that product from. You could create an info product of some kind that you’ll be able to sell to the internet at large.
One of the more popular ways to do this is by publishing Kindle content on Amazon, but the products on Clickbank are also part of this strategy.
Combining Strategies
Of course, you don’t have to just stick with one. You could combine two of the above strategies or you could combine all three if you like. There are no rules when it comes to becoming a successful digital nomad. If you can create something that sells, or make money at something, you can continue with your travelling and nomadic lifestyle.
