A lot of people assume that if you want to have a sustainable income while you’re on the road you’d better build a money making web presence. In fact, there are many sites on location independence that will sell that idea. It is almost as if location independent person = money making website owner. Of course, it’s usually to their advantage because in the next line they’re going to sell you some product or service to teach you how to create this fabulous website.

Now, I’ll let you in on a little personal mission of my own. That has been to debunk the above idea. In fact, since 2006 I’ve been interviewing and blogging about nomadic professionals from many walks of life purposely to show that “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” so to speak.

So – I thought it would be fun to do a list now of the many ways people out there just like you and me are seeing the world and keeping their income going. So equip yourself with some free accounting software and get ready for some unique money-making ideas. I hope it will bring hope and inspiration to those of you who are wondering how you might make your nomad-ing dreams happen and new ideas to those of us who are already out there.

In addition, toward the end of the list I have added in a couple more ways that although I have not yet interviewed individuals from these careers I have discussed their existence with others.

This is a list of 25 actual careers that have been and are being nomaded. I’m sure it only scratches the surface of possibilities out there and I imagine you may know even more. For some extra cash on your journeys you could go on timeshare tours for free gifts as well. If you do buy a timeshare and find yourself later asking “how do I sell my timeshare?” you can always sell it or rent it out online.

We’ve been told of all sorts of ideas for making money while you travel. From being paid to travel and review hotels in far flung places, to trying your luck on sites like Cherry Casino. There’s plenty of options to keep you travelling and work to extend your adventure of a lifetime!

I’d love to hear about other nomadable careers that you know of. I hope this list has provided some inspirational thought. Post your ideas below and I’ll add to this list.
