Do you want to hit the road in an RV, sail over the horizon or get on the next international flight to the destination of dreams? But you’re not ready to retire or still have kids in school?

One of the biggest obstacles of turning “someday” into NOW is how to make money remotely. (Video Below)

Annie Dike with Have Wind, Will Travel asked us to share 5 ways to make money remotely. As we thought about each of ideas, it occurred to us that the guests of Keep Your Daydream have all tackled this topic too. So we selected 18 episodes to feature for each money making idea!

1. Take your job on the road

It might seen impossible for you to take your current job remote. Keep in mind, this doesn’t happen overnight and there are steps you can take to plant the seeds and change the scope of your work to make this a reality. Remember that the income you may need living a more traditional life might be more than you’ll need traveling full-time.

Here are three episodes that highlight people who have taken their existing job remote.

You may only need enough resources to get yourself “over the horizon” to get a fresh new vantage point. You have skills and good ideas. Chances are good those ideas can be deployed anywhere if you give yourself enough time to relax and let the creative juices flowing again.

3. Freelance Freedom (Location Independence)

Do you already work from home or have a skill set where you could transition to working from home. If so, it may take only a little more effort or planning to turn your “work from home” job into a “work from anywhere job”.

If you already have your own business or freelance skills, another idea is to “productize” your business by providing the exact same service for all your clients and systemizing your service to make it easy for new clients to come aboard without the face-to-face requirement. This strategy will not only help your scale your business, but provide more time and the ability to hire a team to help.

Here are three episodes there people have created Freelance Freedom!

5 . Content Creation

812,000 TV subscribers have “cut the cord” in just the second quarter of 2016 alone. Times are changing and the platforms in which people are choosing to watch and read content is changing faster than ever before. This media shift is opening the door for individual creators to grow their own audience by creating quality content and then monetize their audience into sustainable income.

This strategy requires a tremendous amount of time and can take a long time to build an audience, but it can also be deeply satisfying. If this is the path you choose to take, keep in mind that you don’t need to create endless amounts of content. Simply document you experience and let your audience grow with you.

Here are three episodes of people who have done exactly that!

6. Bonus! Part-time travel tips

We couldn’t help but to throw-in a little bonus! After interviewing almost 100 people, we’ve noticed a trend of people who love to travel, but they also love their life back home. Share your dreams with your employer and help build a plan with enough time for people to help you. If you have the type of profession that isn’t normal to be remote, consider transitioning to consulting role and working 3 or 6 months a year.
