Replying to @youreverydaykitchen Creating remote income is the best way to transition to a life abroad. Just because your job isn’t currently a remote job doesn’t mean you can’t find a way to pivot your experience into a remote career. Find out how a waitress, construction worker, car sales person, or hotel front desk clerk can use their experience to create a remote job. You can use that new remote income stream to qualify for visas around the world. Venturing out on your own as a freelancer or business owner is not as hard as you might think. Use your existing life and career experience to create a stable remote income that can go with you anywhere in the world. 🆘🇺🇸

They don't find jobs, they've brought them. Remote income is really what makes the whole moving abroad process possible. People often tell me that their careers are impossible to take remote. And I do get that there are some in-person things that you're doing in the United States to earn money that don't directly translate into being a remote position. But I want to talk about some ways that you can take the skills that you have with your day job in the United States and convert that into remote income in a way that would allow you to move out of the country. For example, let's say that you're a waitress and you're really good at customer service. You've been interacting with the public, you're great at multitasking. One way that you could directly use that experience and turn it into remote income is by becoming a waitress coach. Now, any job that you do, you might as well do the best job at it that you possibly could and earn as much money as you possibly could. And in the United States, being a waitress means earning a lot of tips. You want to make sure that you're maximizing on the number of tips that you're earning. But right now, I'd imagine that a lot of waitresses are not reading books and taking courses on how to be better waitresses. But you could create an online community where you are teaching waitresses to literally be better waitresses and increase their tips and increase their chances of climbing the corporate ladder and getting promotions within the restaurant industry. Whatever experience you have of being a waitress and working in that industry, you can bundle that into e-courses, booklets, worksheet, seminars, any kind of one-on-one coaching. Those are all ways that you can turn that experience into remote income. If you'd prefer to use the skills that you've learned being a waitress but get out of that industry, you could do online community moderation where you're in there making sure that people of the general public that can get kind of cray cray are acting appropriately. You could become a virtual assistant and use your multitasking skills to be able to earn a remote income. Or you could pivot into getting a remote job where you're working online customer service, fielding calls in any number of industries where you have to deal with the direct public. Let's say you're a construction worker and you have lots of experience building residential homes. You could pivot that into a wonderful career being a content creator. Teaching people how to do projects around their house that right now, honestly in this economy, they probably can't afford to hire out for. You could teach them how to do that through all different kinds of platforms. You could have paywalls on your content where more advanced techniques they have to pay you to access but maybe you're monetizing on YouTube and on TikTok and on Instagram and putting out those videos where you're teaching them how to do the things that you know how to do just by trade. You could create your own business where you're doing remote estimating and you could turn those leaves over to local contractors. You could help contractors with their marketing programs and help them get more business by doing cold calling. You could learn some extra skills and learn how to make blueprints and do CAD design and that can be done remotely. What if your career was car salesmen and you're used to doing in-person sales? Well, you could go ahead and pivot that to lead generation for any number of companies. You could become a closer, a professional appointment center. You could be somebody who becomes an affiliate for other people's products and create an online personality where you're out there pitching other people's products in order to close the deal and earn a commission on those products. You could pivot your sales skills into becoming a travel agent which is easily done online. What if you work front desk at a hotel and you think to yourself but I have to be here in order to earn the money? What could I possibly do remotely that has to do with being a front desk worker at a hotel? Well, you could pivot that into anything in the hospitality industry. You could feel customer service calls for hotels. You could turn that hospitality experience into becoming a successful Airbnb host where you help owners manage their properties when they're not living there locally. You could turn that into a tour business where you're helping travelers with their car rental needs instead of their lodging needs. You could start pitching yourself to anybody in the hospitality industry to start running their social media accounts and do all the things for those properties that you wish the people would have listened to you when you were running the front desk about how to market the property better. The fact of the matter is any experience can be turned into remote income with a little creativity and that remote income is what's going to unlock you being able to move abroad.
