There\u2019s one thing all of us digital nomads have in common: we work remotely. But how do you get one of those sweet \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d jobs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have to clock into a desk job and sit in a cubicle from 9-5, five days per week, you\u2019re too tethered to one location to be able to live the digital nomad lifestyle. And if becoming a workationing digital nomad is your goal, you\u2019re going to need to cut that tie before you can catch that plane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor: pointer;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/iTFlZHYPyk5xeZc4n6LGRHbA5lV0TLYnTZU-EzRPOmr7hdEE4JiszqE6QdhcgzAEgOy0Ldo9zg24UsOuSR7WJG4=s0\" alt=\"Click here to subscribe\" data-leadbox-popup=\"mLEkzyUESJxebZk29cikNJ\" data-leadbox-domain=\"contentfac.lpages.co\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is, we\u2019ve already done it.

Some paths are easier than others. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re Tim Ferriss, you just need a four hours, a muse and a good strategy for buying leftover ad space.

Know that developing your skills is going to take some time, but that\u2019s not to say that you can\u2019t make money along the way as you learn. Good targets include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web content writing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website design\/development<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphic design<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media marketing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tech stuff in general<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Editing (content, video, whatever)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Translating<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea here is that you need to find the kind of \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d job that you can make a decent living at. There are plenty of smaller paying gigs in a variety of areas that you can piece together in order to make a paltry half-living, and you should avoid this. Instead, pick one area and specialize in it. Don\u2019t do anything else until you get really, really good at that one job that you can do from anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy books on your industry, and then actually read them. Watch tutorials on YouTube. Read blog posts and sit in on webinars. Become as much of an expert as you can in your niche during the educational phase, because you don\u2019t want to start off your work from anywhere career with a bunch of pissed off clients who aren\u2019t satisfied with your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re confident that you\u2019re competent (enough), proceed to Step 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-from-anywhere-6.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-from-anywhere-6.jpg?resize=900%2C601&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Work from anywhere\" width=\"900\" height=\"601\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 2: Source \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d jobs on the side of your current job, until you\u2019re able to make enough to quit.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve identified the \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d job that you want to have on an ongoing basis, start sourcing as much freelance work as you can. Craigslist is a great place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you want to become a professional web content writer. Good news: there\u2019s plenty of work available, if you know what you\u2019re doing and can write a good cover letter. Write that cover letter, and make it generic enough that you can copy\/paste\/slightly customize for each position that you apply for (after all, they\u2019re all copywriting jobs, so it\u2019s appropriate).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, go through Craigslist. Check the writing gigs and writing jobs for your city\/state. Send your cover letter to every posting that seems relevant, going as far back as two weeks. Then, systematically do the same for every other city listed in Craigslist (check the right sidebar, then go by state as well so you can see some of the smaller metro areas, where the competition will be lower). Since you\u2019re specifically trying to find remote jobs, don\u2019t limit yourself to the job postings that are only in your area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is largely a numbers game, so you should be applying to 50+ writing jobs\/gigs per day. By the time you finish the last city\/state, a few days will have gone by, and you can repeat the process. By the time you send out your cover letter to 500 job postings, which you can accomplish in two weeks, you should have work requests starting to roll in. If not, you need to revise your cover letter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep this process going, and between repeat clients, referrals, and your Craigslist numbers game, you\u2019ll eventually have enough work to consider quitting your job. Kari followed this exact process, and it took her about three months to get to the quitting point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you decide to go the copywriting, video editing, translating or whatever, it\u2019s important that you find a process for finding work that actually works for you. Then, refine that process along the way until you start to achieve optimal results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself getting stuck on this part, check out our FREE online training session: <a href=\"https:\/\/events.genndi.com\/register\/818182175026316920\/e96770fb9e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Untether Your Life &amp; Work From Anywhere<\/a>.

And you\u2019ve probably got some extra money in the bank, as a result of the second job that you\u2019re working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might be tempting to quit as soon as you see that you might be able to make a living at your work from anywhere side gig. RESIST THAT TEMPTATION. Before you quit, you need to make sure that what you\u2019re doing is really sustainable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if your current clients decide to halt your projects? How long does it take for your leads to turn into paying clients? What\u2019s the \u201cslow season\u201d for your industry, and do you even know what that looks like yet? If you couldn\u2019t find any more work for an entire month, would you be in financial trouble?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of questions that you need to be able to answer before you should even think about quitting your day job and start living the \u201cI work from anywhere\u201d life. Stay where you\u2019re at until you\u2019re as sure as you need to be that you can work from anywhere \u2013 and actually make it work for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-from-anywhere-10.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-from-anywhere-10.jpg?resize=900%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Work from anywhere\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 4: Make a plan (and ideally, find a friend to be a digital nomad with you).<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve gotten through the previous four steps and are ready to quit your \u201creal\u201d job in order to become a digital nomad and get your workation on, you still shouldn\u2019t quit just yet. Instead, take another month or so to outline your plan. Things you should know:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>The goals you want to accomplish, outlined by personal, career and family. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write them down, map out the steps you\u2019ll need to take to accomplish these goals. Get granular with it, and really set your hopes and dreams down on paper. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Where you want to go, and when. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital nomads have to make a lot of decisions, and what you gain in freedom you often lose in convenience. Do you want to stay where it\u2019s warm in the winter? Or do you want to bounce around between climates? That impacts what you\u2019ll pack, and how much you\u2019ll pay for lodging and airfare.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Who you\u2019re workationing with. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you traveling solo, or with a partner? Is it a romantic partner, or a friend? How will you get along as you travel, when you haven\u2019t slept in 22 hours because flights got delayed and got forced onto a red-eye? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>What you\u2019re going to do with your stuff.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What\u2019re you going to do with your mail? And your dog? And your car? And your lease? What about health insurance? Will you need US-based and international coverage?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>How much you want to spend per month, and how frequently you want to bounce around places.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can get HUGE discounts on Airbnbs if you book for a month or longer, and if you time your flights right you can save hundreds of dollars on each leg of the trip. Planning ahead takes time and effort, but it usually pays off.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you quit your job and hop on a plane, you should have all of the details worked out. In fact, before you even book your first leg of an extended trip, you should have at least the first three months planned out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/bigstock-Freelancer-Works-On-A-Laptop-S-194647525-1.jpg?resize=970%2C642&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"work from anywhere\" width=\"970\" height=\"642\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Step 5: Make sure you actually like what you\u2019re doing, then quit.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still rolling in freelance \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d gigs, you\u2019ve got some money saved up and you\u2019ve got a plan, then it\u2019s probably time for you to finally quit your day job. We work remotely, and we love it, but we cannot encourage you to quit your \u201creal\u201d job until you\u2019re absolutely certain that you can sustain yourself exclusively on remote work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not be too hasty when it comes to quitting your day job. You\u2019ll find that some weeks, and months, work comes slower than others. You DO NOT want to find out that you can\u2019t hack the \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d lifestyle after you\u2019ve already given up your primary source of income. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, at this point you should have a firm grasp on whether or not you like the work from home lifestyle. To be sure, it ain\u2019t for everyone. Many people prefer office environments, socializing with coworkers, and having a defined beginning and end to their work day. Just because you can work from anywhere in the world, doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re actually going to like it. Figure out if the work from home lifestyle is for you, and do it before you quit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond just deciding whether or not you like working from home (or anywhere \u2013 no matter where you are, it can be isolating at times), you also need to figure out of the job specialization you picked in Step 1 is interesting and rewarding. Do you like web content writing? Can you see yourself doing it for the next few years? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No? You hate it? Then pick something else and restart the process. If you ditch a job you don\u2019t like so that you can take on another job you don\u2019t like, albeit with more flexibility, you\u2019re not setting yourself up for maximum happiness down the road. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, you\u2019re probably setting yourself up for disaster. When you hate the work you do, you tend not to do it (and when you do, you don\u2019t do it well). That doesn\u2019t sound very sustainable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not easy to find a work from anywhere job that you also genuinely like, but this is a goal you should achieve before you quit your day job. Otherwise, you may find yourself stranded in some foreign country, unable to source enough work to buy a plane ticket back home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-from-anywhere-12.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/workationing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/work-from-anywhere-12.jpg?resize=900%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Work from anywhere\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 6: Untether the rest of your life as much as possible.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019ve quit your job, you\u2019re now able to work from anywhere (and you\u2019ve probably tested out this new capability in coffee shops and on mini-workations). Before you celebrate your digital nomad status with a going away party, you\u2019ll need to untether yourself from other aspects of your life that hold you to one location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quitting your day job and finding work from anywhere jobs is just the first step. Next, you need to execute the plan you laid out in Step 4. It\u2019s one thing to recognize that you need to find a new home for your cat, and another thing to actually do it. Ditto: selling your stuff, moving out, and putting the rest of what you own in some storage facility. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you\u2019re untethering, focus on reducing your monthly expenses \u201cback home\u201d as much as possible so that you have more money \u2013 or need to make less money \u2013 as you travel the world. A larger storage facility is going to cost more money, and when you run the cost of storing vs. the cost of replacing (and who knows if you\u2019re even going to want to!), you might find yourself downsizing more than you\u2019d planned. That\u2019s okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you dig into the untethering process, you\u2019re going to be confronted with bad decisions you\u2019ve made along the way. How many pairs of jeans do you have? How many dresses have been hanging in your closet, for years, with the tags still on? Did you really need all of those kitchen gadgets from late-night infomercials? What is all this crap, and why did you spend so much money on it? This is painful, and sneaks up on you in ways you might not expect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about your relationships? While you\u2019re gone, friends might get married and have babies. At the risk of sounding morbid, people you know might die while you\u2019re away. Do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend? Are they coming with you? If not, you might want to consider ripping off the Band-Aid and breaking up before you go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point is, part of the cost of admission to the digital nomad lifestyle is leaving people at home behind. It can be a high price to pay \u2013 for some, it\u2019s too high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are decisions that you\u2019re going to have to make before you can embark on your new life as a digital nomad, and these choices are difficult to make.
