What Was the COVID-19 Pandemic like For Digital Nomads?
I’m still out here –I haven’t been home since the pandemic began.
My income grew 5x during the pandemic, yet massive bloggers I know who are way above my league have confessed to me their passive income got decimated when mine grew exponentially.
After I set it all up in 2017, becoming a six figure blogger was just a matter of maintenance and the occasional pivot. Making above $20k/month became my normal, and it’s totally passive.
My quality of life abroad hasn’t suffered and I’ve never been violated by having a PCR test rammed up my nose!
I dodged road blocks, restrictions, mandates, and all of the reckless pandemic mismanagement by hiding out in far flung beach towns, watching the world burn itself down.
There’s freedom in living outside your home country, and you could be just as “future proof” as I am.
The content on this site is tried and tested, and has withstood the weakening dollar. Take a look around and learn how I made it work from the very beginning.
The water is still warm; digital nomadism nor the passport bro lifestyle is dead –even if you didn’t get a COVID mRNA injection, as long as you choose your layovers, connections, and destinations wisely.
Sometimes you just have to sit in one place, wait, and weigh your priorities, like I did.
We’re all digital nomads, now.
Everyone is working remotely –but with my advice, you could skip trading time for money, and jump the line to a sustainable passive income that grows and grows over time.
There’s more to travel and work online than meets the eye, and we’ve got a guide for just about anything you may need.
No matter what you do –whether it’s applying for your first remote job or selling merchandise online, you’ll need to understand how search engines work and how a website is put together.
We highly recommend you begin with our guide to Learn Blogging. Starting a blog is the gateway drug to marketing or selling anything online that’s easiest to swallow.
Within it we cover several ways to generate passive income, the “holy grail” of a nomad lifestyle.
