Digital nomad / remote work ideas

[AbyssGazer]

My apologies for asking for ideas without providing much of my own (yet). My problem in the first place is a lack of ideas in a world where every online business idea seems to already be saturated by jeets, the Chinese and/or AI.

My goal is to make at least $1k in profit every month from a job only requiring a phone, a laptop and internet connection. I'm sick and tired of office culture, I want to be able to work from anywhere in the world. I have some experience with flipping stuff online, and could probably hire a relative to handle the shipping from my home country. But this business too is in decline ever since normies stopped being scared of buying directly from China.

I'm a pretty good writer, and I'm fairly skilled with various Adobe applications. Unfortunately I can't code for shit. Been thinking about creating online content like travel vlogging or manosphere self improvement content (I've seen absolute spergs selling "life coaching" to even greater spergs, so the bar isn't very high).

Any ideas from my fellow retard gorilla niggers?

Some US companies that hire remote:

Conduent
Concentrix
Teleperformance
Telus International
Dataannotation
Arise (you have to pay for some training programs they offer)
Omaha Steaks (seasonal)
Turbotax (seasonal)

Tbh the most useful remote work resource I've used is a website called rat race rebellion, they post daily job leads for remote work but they also put any company on blast that tries to con people into office work or has other skeevy practices. They send daily newsletters plus update their job listings several times a day.

I was remote for a while but I'm back in office because they made it worth our time. They're feeding us two meals on shift and paying for our commute (time AND gas) so I guess I'm just a sucker who loves free shit and can be won over with small efforts.

Those are very oversaturated. What can you do to stand out compared to the other grifters and vloggers that are out there? You will be competing against thousands out there who repeat the same thing over and over. I wish you luck though. If you aren't against US government jobs, there are embassies but they are really hard to get, and often get reserved for military wives, ex-military, and etc.

What countries do you intend to live in? It always helps to at least get an understanding of the language, and to remember, some will be very resentful against you living there. No matter the fancy words like expat or digital nomad, to them, you are a migrant and some will not be pleased. They won't do Spain level sort of protests, but you may feel some boiling anger towards you. But I'm sure there are some countries that they don't mind. Pay attention to the visa stuff, some really fuck up and overstay their welcome, or don't do research to see if the country will let them in. Again, you have my best wishes.

Yeah, there's zero market for that, and you'll be competing against every bored housewife in the world who has a little spare time to dedicate to her "passion for the word."

BossmanJack does quite well for himself working remotely, and his phone doesn't even work most of the time.

You could look into learning ArcGIS or QGIS and contracting out. I don't know about the supply side, but it is a skill in demand.

Yeah rat race rebellion looks like it's definitely worth a closer look. I'm from the EU though, and that site mostly seem to be aimed at US citizens.

I often ask that questions about the random grifters in my feed -"What are they even doing that stands out?". Getting like 50k subs and 100k views per video doesn't seem that difficult to achieve really. Just regularly pump out videos on engaging, slightly controversial topics and be somewhat charismatic. Again, not looking to become rich by any means. Just enough money to live fairly comfortable in a 3rd world economy.

I've been thinking about the classic passport bro choices like Thailand and the Philippines. I am aware costs of living are rising in Thailand though, and their government can't seem to ever decide properly on anything. The Philippines is cheaper from what I understand and English is widely spoken. Even more corrupt than Thailand though. In either country you're pretty much fucked in any legal dispute as a foreigner, and you can't ever really own anything significant there (house, business, etc).

Just making it clear that I am realistic in my expectations. It still beats the shit out of staying where I am currently, rotting alive working 9 to 5 in a country that's basically a freezer half of the year.

Yeah, there's zero market for that, and you'll be competing against every bored housewife in the world who has a little spare time to dedicate to her "passion for the word."

Hurts to read, but it's all too true. I have to figure out what skills I can develop that are in line with my natural talents, but that can actually generate an income.

Seeing as you're a good writer and tech literate. Get an adult education degree - training & assessment qualification, remote teaching can be quite lucrative. A lot of adult/vocational courses are run purely remotely, especially basic shit like typing and admin courses and will over qualify you for a variety of other roles that can be done from home. Case management for agencies that do stuff like dealing with neets & disabled (kiwifarmers), injured workers/traffic injury victims, as someone else said insurance, the best is a cushy gov agency wfh role.

Seeing you want to travel - be a nomad, the tourism industry, caretaking holiday parks is a good gig that can include free accom/utils a wage/salary and plenty of free time in the off season/non school holidays. You could get a drone and possibly document that travel lifestyle as content.

The e-grift thing is very saturated as mentioned, all that "viral" shit is tech aids. Starting up POD with some niche stuff that you don't need to/can't be trademarked can take months to take off. There's enough crappy merch about loving coffee, camping, cats and doggos, travel and whatever normie current thing.

The one thing I could see being worthwhile to pursue is a GTA6 channel, you can stay anon - do a pngtuber channel. You'd have to be DSP level of skill issue and retarded for that not to gain some views and monetization with regular engaging content and shorts.

Are you? Everyone thinks this, which means that freelance/contract writing is saturated. Especially now that any contract is immediately swarmed by jeets and opportunists using AI to flood the zone. Tried any of the mechanical Turk 'AI Assessor' platforms, like Mercor? Contracts for 80 writers will receive hundreds of thousands of applications. It's like fighting over water in a post-apocalypse.

Unless you're established with a big list of contacts and clients who'll vouch for you, or intend to specialise in one very specific style/output (romance novels for example; I've posted about that before), you need to be a LOT more than 'pretty good' to make more than beer money with words in 2025. And it's only going to get harder from here on out.

Sorry, this seems a bit brusque; I'm not singling you out, just letting you know that professional writing is a fucking bloodbath right now, and I've seen more than one 'digital nomad' fuck up really badly by relying on contract writing work.

Depends on what kind of writing he meant, vast differences between creative, technical and academic writing.

If creative writing was your forte, amazon kdp would probs be the way to go, but that's still retarded and gay. If you want to write erotica or slop about purple farting dragons.

If you can write/read English above jeet level, you can do technical writing in a variety of admin fields, especially admin relating to trade/tech stuff or OHSA is an easy entry level.

If you can write well academically and can understand APA7, cite, paraphrase and reference properly, op probably wouldn't have needed started this thread and been on 6 figures already.

Without powerleveling too much, I do have some documented skills and portfolio when it comes to technical writing. Still new in the field though. I've been thinking about starting to work as a consultant through my own company in a few years, once I have a more solid portfolio and experience. I can see that being done remotely. But that's getting ahead of myself atm.

Dude if you understand technical writing and know how to be direct and not overly verbose, there is a plethora of trade/tech related jobs that need people with good English and tech literacy. Having OHSA and a First Aid qual on your resume makes a huge difference as well as tech skills over being able to use a shovel. Tradesmen/contractors always need someone to do the tedious paperwork, a designated OHSA/First Aider while the meatheads do the hard labor while someone fills out SWMS/Traffic Management plans etc. I had a plumber offering 60k a year as an appointment booker, when I said I was happy to come out on site with the team and could use heavy machinery he was like no, I want someone who is happy to stay at home. But really look into gov positions. I live in a small coastal town and work from home remote for a gov agency where I don't have to field any phone calls, my work is basically purely digital, done by e-portal/email, pretty much at my own leisure outside of an emergency.

Look if where you are has any subsidized courses that will help you upskill/sideskill.

So a quick warning about the Philippines for nomad fags: it is as fucking hot and humid as Florida there no matter where you go. Also there's a flat-out creepy Tiktok scene where they practically worship fat, rich, potentially old white dudes because according to that scene, it all equates with 'wealth'. Alongside that, any kinda real plumbing, debatable, is only in their real big cities. I would very much call them nice people, in fact plenty are interested in people actually adapting to their culture and for the most part no-one gives a shit about visas, but I feel like it's really the only kind of place to "live" if you're all out of options and I have no clue how it's gonna function long-term. You'd pretty much have a better quality of life if you find some off-the-map town in the US and somehow managed to keep a remote gig in this day and age. I can't really say any options for EU bros since I don't really know the situation there.
This is all in my opinion of course, if you can handle the heat, never step outside of city limits, get used to the stares and take some very unique forms of washing your inevitable swamp ass then go for it. The "cost of living" there really is cheap, but I say that in quotes because from what I hear most people are more or less doing some fucky shit with their tourist visas but the government there just doesn't care... yet.
