Being a digital nomad is the new dream job. The idea of working from a coffee shop or a tropical beach and traveling around the world is tempting for everyone. But to become a digital nomad, you must have a type of job that enables you to work remotely while traveling.

If you are unsure how to start your journey to living the digital nomad life, in this article, we suggest some of the best digital nomad jobs as of 2022.

7 Popular Digital Nomad Jobs to Travel the World

Below, we’ve listed the most trending digital nomad jobs in 2022 and beyond that can be done from any place around the world.

Freelance Content Writer

With so many websites and digital channels out there, it is not surprising that a freelance content writer is one of the best remote jobs you can find. If you have the self-discipline and the skills to do it, you can easily get a few clients and create a solid income that will allow you to travel the world.

What you need to do is to find a niche that you can focus on and understand how online writing works in terms of content structure. Then, you can create your own business by building your writing portfolio and sending it to different clients. Of course, there is a catch-22 here, but because of the high demand for content writing, you’ll be able to solve it quickly if you do things the right way.

Trading Financial Markets

Due to many online trading applications that popped up in the past few years, there are also many digital nomads who trade for a living. Many of these traders do it with their capital, though you must be an experienced trader with a proven track record and a successful trading strategy.

But fortunately, there are great solutions these days for beginner traders with no experience and knowledge in trading. One of these includes proprietary trading, which essentially refers to trading firms that allocate their capital to prop traders.

A prop trading firm offers talented traders the ability to trade with a fully funded trading account. You basically have to register and go through a short questionnaire before getting access to the company’s trading platform and capital. Then, once you have finished the evaluation period with a profit and proved your ability to trade the markets successfully, you get a more significant amount of capital to trade the real live markets.

In sum, it is an excellent way to travel and earn money. In fact, if you are a good trader, you can finish your digital nomad days with some extra cash in your bank account.

Busking (Street Performance)

Busking??? Yes, busking. Busking is basically playing music in a public place for tips. Many musicians dream of performing on the streets and earning money on their travels by busking. It is just an authentic way to get your music out there and create a unique vibe in some corner of the world.

So, if you have musical talent and enough confidence to play in public, busking could be a great way to make money and be location independent.

Traveling Blogger

Honestly, what can be better than traveling and sharing your experiences with your readers? Fortunately, travel blogging has become so popular in the past few years, and anyone who wants to share tips and travel ideas can potentially succeed.

But, of course, it’s not easy. First, you need to choose the medium to deliver your message. It can be a blog, a Facebook or Instagram page, or even a channel on popular websites that allow you to do that (Medium, Quora, Linkedin, etc.). But, regardless of the medium, you decide to share your traveling tips, you must know how to get traffic and, more importantly, monetize your channel. That’s the big challenge in making a traveling blog – to make a passive income. Some bloggers review products, add affiliate links or make sponsored videos. Otherwise, if you are not the type of person that knows how to sell, you can use social media managers or digital marketing managers to make the most out of your travel blog.

Still, we suggest reading and understanding how blogging works before you put effort into creating a blog. Blogging is not for everyone, especially if you are planning to make money out of it.

Programmer/Web Developer

If you have the skill of writing codes or creating and maintaining websites, you can practically do it anywhere in the world. Nowadays, programming is one of the most demanded skills and is certainly a rewarding job. This means that if you can get a remote developer job, you can choose any location you want to work at and explore new places.

Virtual Assistant

If you have excellent administrative and technical skills, working as a virtual assistant can be an easy way to get a remote work job. This role includes different tasks such as scheduling appointments, sending and organizing emails, making phone calls, arranging travel, managing contact lists, and doing market research.

Luckily for those who wish to become virtual assistant remote workers, there’s a growing demand for virtual assistants in recent years. According to TrueList, the IT outsourcing industry is expected to grow by roughly 4.5% between 2020 and 2025.

Therefore, finding a digital nomad job as a virtual assistant is reasonably easy. So, if you have no idea what you want to do for a living but just want to travel for a while, a virtual assistant can be the ideal job to explore the digital nomad lifestyle.

Video Producer

Finally, becoming a video producer is another great digital nomad job that will enable you to work from anywhere you’d like. A Video Producer is responsible for planning and creating all of the elements of video production from start to finish. It’s an exciting job that can be done remotely, which means you can do it from anywhere in the world. Best of all, with so many new tools to produce video content, it is possible for any individual with no time and editing skills to produce high quality videos.

And, with the increasing demand for videos on different social media platforms, you can expect to find many projects to work on while traveling.

Summary

In summary, becoming a digital nomad will give you the opportunity to work and live anywhere. So, if you are keen to become a digital nomad, all that is left for you to do is choose the right job that will help you reach your goal and build your digital nomad business.

Our list above can be valuable for you, but remember that there are other highly demanded jobs for digital nomads. These include a social media manager, social media marketer, SEO specialist, graphic designer, digital marketing agent, and many more. Obviously, you’ll have to get familiar with freelance platforms and job boards like Upwork, PeoplePerHour, and Fiverr. Otherwise, you can contact tech companies and online businesses directly to find remote job opportunities.

Having said that, you also need to keep in mind that many people choose a particular digital nomad job for a limited time to explore the world and expand their horizons. For instance, you can decide to become a street performer or a financial trader for several years to live in an exotic place and then return to your regular job. Or, you can stay in your current job and ask your manager to work remotely for a while. It’s very flexible as long as you have a goal and want to experience the digital nomad lifestyle. This way or the other, becoming a digital nomad is very likely to be a smart decision that might change your life.
