– When I graduated college in 2013, I didn't realize that
I just spent the first two and a half decades of
my life chasing a dream I never dreamt for myself. Thankfully it only took me a
few years before I realized that I was living in a nightmare. I hated waking up to an alarm. I hated rushing to
shave and get my tie on. I hated running to work,
to clock-in like a robot, and then having to hop
steps to the beck and call of someone who was making
a ton more money than me off of all my hard work. Having a job as such a scam. I wasn't eating or sleeping well, I was getting fat and I was
perpetually stressed out.
That's when I started looking
for ways to take control over my schedule, my income
and the work that I was doing. At times I was making
pennies on the dollar, even less than that. And the people around me, even
my family couldn't understand why I was working hard
for such little money. But I kept searching. I kept learning and stayed
committed to the idea that I would never have to clock in again and then I could build my
own income off my own work, doing what I actually enjoy. And if I hadn't started
doing that in 2016, then I wouldn't be making
this video for you right now. (bright upbeat music) What's up everybody. My name is Nicholas Demski
from The Single Dad Nomad and on this channel, we talk about the
information, the inspiration and the income you need
to live better worldwide. And today's video we're
talking about six ways that you can make money online, the pros and cons of each method, what you can expect to make and you can even get a
personalized recommendation from me on how to get started with each method.
♪ Cause you know it's
only gonna get better ♪ So one of the first ways that I wanna talk about making money online
is through Rev.com. Now, if you turn on the
captions to this video, you'll actually see what
someone at Rev can do for me, that's creating captions
for videos like this. Essentially it's a transcription
and translation service where people send in their videos or audio and people like you can transcribe
them into written words. So one of the pros of working
on Rev.com is that you get to pick and choose what
you want to work on and when you want to work.
So for example, you could
work on action films or sporting events, or you could just do talking head lectures or simple interviews. It really depends on your style. One of the pros of working
with Rev.com is that as you keep working with
it, you will get faster you will get better, you
will improve your process, you can start making more
money on that website. Moreover, as you get faster
and as you get better on it, Rev.com will actually
promote you to a top Revver and you can start making
more money per minute worked. Let's talk about the potential earnings of Rev.com real quick. They say on their website
that you can make up to $1,500 a month as a Revver.
There must be their very
best Revvers on there who are constantly working. My best ever was $850 a month, roughly. So Rev.com is not a perfect
platform by any means. There are some downsides to working there and one of them is that you
have to do a lot of typing. So if you're going to
transcribe entire movie, you could easily transcribe
10 to 15,000 words. That's a lot of typing. Secondly, sometimes there just
aren't jobs available at all. So this isn't a platform
that you wanna go on, if you're looking for a full time income, it's great, supplementally,
it's great when they have jobs available on there, but they don't always have jobs available. And if you really want to
get started with Rev.com, my one recommendation is that
you get the same headphones that I have right here.
These are the Bose QC25 headphones, they work really well. I invested in these when
I first became a Revver and they helped me get up
to the top revving status. So it's a great investment and I will actually link
you to a video right here that talks more about these. ♪ You got somebody to lean on ♪ The second way that I would recommend that you get started working online is writing for a content mills. Now content mills are essentially websites where companies will place
the content they need, they'll give you the topic
and then you can go in and compete for the prize
for that writing assignment.
Let's start with the pros of working with these content mills. And two of them that I would mention are iWrite.com and Textbroker.com. These are both great ways to get started building online income. Just with writing your earnings can grow as you do more work, as you
get better on each platform, you can apply for jobs that pay better. There's always lots of work available in between iWrite and Textbroker
so you don't have to worry about them running out of work for you. And I think the last part of
this that is really important is that on these content mills, you will learn how to be a better writer. So not everything you write
is going to get accepted, and so you're going to learn over time what works and what doesn't. This can set you up to make
even more money in the future if you really want to go
full on writing all the time.
A few other cons of this type of work, I mentioned one already is
that you don't always get paid for your work because you
might not win the prize for a certain piece of content. In the beginning, it feels like low pay that's a huge con to it. And these are not meant
for full time work. So when it comes to content mills pay, they don't pay much you know, you can get a penny a word or less. That's not great. I mean, pretty similar to
Rev if you think about it, but you're not going to
get 10 or 15,000 words on a content mill like this at one time.
I would recommend content
mills for learning how to write for companies
and building your portfolio and skills while making a
little bit of money doing so if you want to get started
with the content mills, I recommend a computer that
has a really clicky keyboard. You'll wanna use like an older Mac that has no travel on the keys cause your hands are gonna
end up hurting after a while.
Again, I recommend the Dell XPS
15, it's a workhorse for me. And my second recommendation is just that you have the patience
and the willingness to learn. So you don't have to worry
about making the pennies now, if you can make big bucks later
after you have the skills. ♪ Hennessy straight I'm
only chasing money ♪ ♪ Smartly mama ain't raised no dummy ♪ Next and the third way
you can make money online while traveling is a step up from those previous
mentioned, content mills this one is called Verblio.com. It's the best content mill out there. They have the best pay scale, the higher your level on there, the longer the pieces you can work on and the more money you can make per word, there's always a ton of
work available there.
And you can choose what
you want to write about. Again, there are in the
numerous number of topics available to you, so
you really get to pick and choose what you're working on. One of the downsides to Verblio.com is that probably every one of two posts that you make in the beginning are just going to get rejected and you're not going to
make any money for it. So you have to produce a ton
of work on these websites. I was writing about 10, 270
to 300 word articles every day to make about a hundred dollars. I believe at my best I was
making about five cents per word on Verblio.com so my recommendation for working on Verbilio.com is that again, don't worry about the
pay so much at first.
What you really want to do
is create great content. So it's really important
that you rise in the ranks before you start focusing on the money because the money comes in the
ranks, not at the beginning. ♪ So what if we hold each other ♪ So the fourth way to make money online while traveling the world
is through client services. They're so many jobs out
there that you could get into client services and
companies are always looking for people to do those
services for them online. Some of the pros of getting into your own client service business
is that you take control over your income, so
while previously you might have to rely on the set
incomes of a content mill, once you take over your own
client service business, then you get to set your rates. So no more penny per word,
no more 5 cents per word. You can start off at 10
and then you can go 15 and then 20, 25, you're showing that you are a true professional
focused on your craft and people are willing to pay
you more for that, I promise you also get more of a sense of pride over what you're doing as opposed to working for a content mill.
That's not a ton of fun, it's not like, "hey everybody, I'm working
for a content mill, yay!" No, but if you get to say,
well, I'm a freelance copywriter and I run my own business. That feels a lot better. However, there is a downside to building a client service business and especially a successful one it's that you might turn
your escape of a nine to five into a 24 seven job and 99.99% of client service professionals
get no glory at all. You know, Gary Vaynerchuk gets it because he's the bomb,
but for the rest of us, you know, clients just want their work and they want us to
shut up and get it done. So if you want to get into
the client service business, that's where I've been most successful. I really recommend that you
build your skills first.
You could use the content
mills we're talking about, for example, but you
need a simple web page to demonstrate what you've been doing. You could throw up a portfolio and then I want you to
focus on just getting that one first client, once you have that one first private client that can really open up
doors all over the place and just never stop
pitching, follow job reports and just keep it pushing
and you can eventually have a successful client service business that lets you travel the
world and make money on it. ♪ Flexing on the gram,
with your paycheck ♪ ♪ Stop showing off them
bills you ain't paid yet ♪ The fifth way that you
could make money online while Traveling is through social media.
Now, you know, social media is obviously all your favorite apps. The big ones today are
Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, YouTube, I'm sure
there's more out there LinkedIn is really big these days as well. One of the pros of this type of work is that you're getting
paid to do social media. So you probably already
enjoy social media any way. Why not make money while you're doing it. Now, if you do get into
making money on social media, there are a few downsides to it. The big one is that it's a lot of work to stay good on social media,
I mean, if you want to be good on Instagram, you gotta be
posting every single day, multiple times a day, I was on Tik Tok. I got up to 23,000 followers on there and it was just a ton of work
making six to 10 videos a day.
And I eventually axed it because I prefer making YouTube videos like this, instead of constantly
working on Tik Tok videos. Moreover, you have to think about what if the platform
changes, how it pays people. Now, a lot of people
complain about YouTube because they do algorithms switches and it messes up their
expected revenue every month. And so I just want you to
be aware that you don't want to be dependent on just one outlet. If you're interested in
social media right now, my recommendations is
that you get onto Tik Tok it's by far the social media platform where you can grow the fastest right now, as long as you're posting quality content, if you really want to
spread your word in blog or video or written form, try LinkedIn, it has a lot of great
organic reach right now.
And obviously YouTube is
my favorite longterm game. Your subs stick around
and you can essentially build up your own sort
of retirement package in your YouTube channel
over 30 or 40 years. So I don't need to rely on a 401k. If say after 35 years of this channel, I have a hundred thousand followers. I can expect that the ad rev from that will be equivalent to say like
a social security payment. So I don't have to rely on the government. I'm building something for myself. ♪ Throw out my paper, I
hope you don't drown yet ♪ ♪ My nose a ribbon I'm
feeling get clowned up ♪ The sixth and last way
we're going to talk about making money online while traveling today is by teaching online, now
most people teach English, but you can teach other subjects as well.
Now, a lot of people teach English because there are a lot
of people say in China who sign their kids up for online classes with international teachers, they really want them to learn English and you can make up to about $22 an hour So that's a pretty good
wage for working online, especially if you want to get started. This is a great way to get going online without a lot of technical know-how. Another pro is that you get
to set your own schedule and meet people from all over the world. So one of the downsides of working online and teaching is that you really
need a certain temperament. Now I've been a teacher
inside of classrooms before. It is definitely a little bit different than teaching them in
person where you have like that tactile sense with them. But one of the biggest
cons for teaching online in my opinion is that you need
a quality internet connection at all times, which means you are limited in where you can travel to.
I would say just like anything else, if you want to build up this
skill, just get started. And even if it feels weird at first, you know, give it three
months, give it six months and I promise you, you will get better and you will feel more natural over time. And again, if you wanna
do something like this, I recommend you have a
computer that can actually handle the load, the Dell XPS
15 really works well for me. I'll link down to it
in the description box because I don't want you to
invest in a crap computer. That's going to bust on you,
so now that you know more about making money
online, while traveling, there's a video up here
that you should watch, that's going to teach
you how to get started traveling full time and right
here is going to be a playlist that will teach you more
about my full time travels as a single parent, make sure
you subscribe to this video.
If you want to know more
about living better worldwide, and I will see you next time. Peace..
