Since last year, we all know what it’s like to work from home. For some of us, this gives us a lot of freedom and more time for our families. Others of us still dream of moving our home office to the beach. Life as a digital nomad is popular. I choose where I want to work in the world. If you don't want to stay at home, you can work from a café in the mountains or from your own caravan by the lake. The opportunities to create your dream life have never been better. What jobs can I do from anywhere as a digital nomad?
1. Freelancer as a content creator or journalist
As a freelance writer, you write for blogs or for online or offline magazines about topics that you understand well and where you can write competently and professionally. Maybe you are writing about your hobby. There is also the option of writing on behalf of someone else, as a so-called ghost writer. If you have a certain level of specialist expertise that is sought after or have a good command of a little-known language, both written and spoken, then your chances of receiving paid assignments are good.
2. Customer service representative
Some companies are looking for staff to serve customers. This involves answering emails or making phone calls to customers. All digital. You should be service-oriented and sociable. It often works very well to do this job remotely.
3. Your creativity at the centre
You have a flair for design and love to create your own jewelry collection or create your own fashion label. This can also be sold online. You do need a location where you can work, but you can sell through etsy.com or other providers.
4. Web designer or programmer
You are a graphic designer or a programmer. The world is crying out for these skills today. We often find too few workers in this field. This is your chance! As a programmer, you can work very well from your holiday home. Provided the region has network coverage.
