1. Writing web content

By definition, this means that you are going to be a freelance writer. Your job will be to write blog posts, content for web pages, listings, reviews and so much more. In general, you can write for basically any industry you can find online and most writers are being paid per word. The trick is to find a niche that is working for you and then contact many websites within that industry. In general, the travel blog industry is quite competitive. Instead, if you are just getting started it may be a good idea to start writing casino news for the online gaming industry.
This is a big market all over the world and both affiliate sites and gaming sites are recruiting writers with or without previous experience in various languages. A great idea is to contact sites that are operating in the country you travel in. If you spend time in India, contact one of the English websites with online casinos for the Indian market and offer to write some blog articles or reviews. If you don’t know what we are talking about, click here for an example. You can find the same type of websites in every country and language around the world. While in France, contact a French affiliate site if you speak French and if not, simply reach out to a multilanguage site. Affiliate sites regardless of the niche will gladly jump on some inside-information directly from the field.
These sites are always looking for writers that can give an international perspective on the local market. The pay for this job varies significantly and can be ranked per year or per word you will write. On average, you can earn up to $52.807 per year once you built up some experience. Of course, this is just an example and you can earn more or less. You need your laptop and you need time. All writings of this type require research, which is available online as well.
2. Developing apps

Well, for this you may need a bit of technical knowledge but the thing is that there are many courses online and due to the potential of this market it may be worth investing some time in learning. Due to the fact, more and more people use smartphones, more apps are developed. There are millions of them online available on Google Play and App Store, among others. That’s why this can be one of the most profitable methods and one of the most desirable ones to invest your time in. Keep in mind that you need to know coding which isn’t very simple. Yes, it is easier than programming, but it will still need a lot of time and effort to develop.
Some of you may believe that apps for iOS and Android are developed in the same way using the same programs and so much more. In reality, these are two completely different platforms and as such, the apps are completely different. Ideally, you will focus on both of them, so you can make a higher profit. You can use an average laptop for that.
3. Dropshipping
Dropshipping is not as complicated as many seem to think. Some even believe it’s more difficult than developing apps but it’s not. The most challenging part is to understand how it works. There are several service providers that have developed specifically to make it easier for people to make a profit from dropshipping. In general, you will sell items you don’t actually own. You will be a middle man and you can sell any products you like or even services. The most common method and most common application are to sell products from Aliexpress to people from another country. You will create your own online store and you will import products that are available on another selling website. There are many examples here.
When a consumer purchases a product, you will only send it from the original seller to your consumer. Because your price is higher than the original you can make a profit. Your profit will rise with the number of consumers you have which is something you can increase with Facebook or Instagram ads, or other forms of promotions. All of this means that you can make a massive profit if you are lucky and you play the right cards. Keep in mind that there are providers that will offer you help with making the online store with selling, advertisement and so much more. Some were able to make millions using this method.
4. Developing your own blog
Being a full-time blogger may sound very simple but if you want to earn a living from it you will have to start to think like a business person. In many ways, running your own blog is both a very simple and complicated method at the same time. You can create your own blog or a website and focus it on any topic or niche you like. When you get traffic (users who visit your website or a blog) you can use ads, sell various items, and affiliate with others to make a profit. You will need a lot of time and effort to start making a profit but once you begin, the profit is limitless. Don’t expect to start making a profit within weeks. This is almost impossible and there is no way to do it.
You should remember that competition is extreme and there are many rival websites with a higher budget to invest so you may need to use other methods in order to make better results and more cash.
Conclusion
As you can see these methods are lucrative, effective, and relatively simple. There is no need for a super-powerful computer unless you work with video editing. You need an average laptop and an average internet connection. Of course, you need time as well.
