Top 5 Ways to Make Money Living Abroad
I hope you enjoy the list! Let me know if you have used or considered any of these methods during your world travels. Bonne Voyage!
-
Teach your native language.
Are you from England, now living in Italy? You can teach English. If you have a masters degree, you could teach in a University. However, even if you don't have a high degree, you can still teach in small private schools or in tutoring situations. Native speaker teachers are generally, always preferred as teachers.
-
Start a business.
Being a foreigner, you will notice some business opportunites around you. Perhaps, your host town could use a hip cafe or bagel shop. People love something new and different than the same old. Import successful business models from where you are from.
-
Export Goods.
It may sound advanced, but it really is quite straight forward. Find local producers of handcrafted goods and market them on websites such as Alibaba.com. Have an agreement with the producer where you will take a commission on each sale. You will boost your host country's economy by exporting their products.
-
Become a business liaison.
Now, that you are familiar with your new territory, use your knowledge as a service. Business persons who are coming to your country need to get to and find resources fast during their business trips. Offer services including taking them to meetings, finding places, translating, become their personal guide. You can charge by the day on this one.
-
Blog about it!
Become an authority on living in your host country. As the foreigner you can see and point out many differences that natives take for granted and never think twice about. You can become a resource for those interested in visiting or considering moving to your host country as you have. Make sure to add lots of photos and recipes. Visitors love these. You can monetize your blog with Adsense or other publisher programs.

- If you are interested in long-term travel I have found you need a job that you can do in a lot of different locations, so most people might advise teaching english, travel blogging or some other kind of job that makes money online.
I have been selling timeshares for the past few months, and you can also do that long term and actually make money at it. Timeshares are in 100 different countries and it is fairly seasonal, so you could do 4 months in one beautiful spot in high season then go to another for their high season when the season ends. Here is my latest blog post on how to get a timeshare sales job if you are so inclined. good luck.

- I've been living abroad for 5 1/2 years now. the first 4 1/2 I was living in Panama, working for an American company, getting paid in the US. While I was there, I started building my own web sites and learning how to do internet marketing. Now I'm living in the Philippines - I got a little burned out in Panama - and am only working on building web sites and online marketing. I'm making about 2.5k US a month now, and it's growing pretty well. Once you learn the basics, it's pretty much about finding out what works and doing it over and over. Once you have income, outsource all your work and your income really starts to grow. You can join a community of expats who do online marketing and learn all about it.
