It’s no secret that we all want to travel around, sipping coffee and working in our spare time. However, when researching ways to do this, it’s hard to find legit information!

It can be very frustrating and that’s why I’m here to help. After countless hours of figuring out ways to support our family when we lost our business in 2020, we have fine tuned a few ways to make money remotely.

First, you should know that these aren’t “get rich quick” schemes or work 5 hours a week and make 100K a year gigs. These are legit jobs that you need to put time and effort into if you want to make a full time income.

How do we support a family of 5 as we travel fulltime? We’ve tried a ton of different ways and settled on putting our efforts into the top places that make us money. You’ll want to try a few things, once you see what works then put more time into that particular job. Some people like to find one company to work for and just focus on that, which is easier on the mind too!

So let’s dive in!

First, we make money on social media as influencers/content creators. This means that we get paid by social media platforms directly and then with brand deals. However, it’s important to only recommend products that you truly love and believe in, otherwise people will consider you to be a scammer. Be authentic. We go over this in detail on our membership page.

We also use affiliate links on places like Amazon. When someone makes a purchase using our link then we get a kickback. We do this in a couple of different ways. One way being that we have a Facebook group that showcases deals throughout the week, join us here. Another way is by having a storefront on Amazon, you can see that here. These are great as side hustle money, not full time income. They’ll help with fuel and grocery bills but I wouldn’t count on these are your main source of income.

Another business that we offer is in person, which is our scuba diving and CPR business. We are licensed in the state of Florida through our second business Reef Life Dive Shop. We do this when we’re in Florida and run it as a side business since it is seasonal work. Water visibility is our biggest struggle when certifying people to be scuba divers. This is a big reason that we try to winter in Florida and spend more time in this state vs other states while traveling. Winter is our biggest season. People can also “rent” Joseph so that he goes out on their boat with them to handle all of the scuba equipment, making it easy for them to have a great time on their vacation.

Our online remote jobs membership page helps you find remote work. We decided to open this website when we continued to get asked how to find side hustles or full time income on the road. Some of the things that we cover is how to make money from social media, starting your own business tips, where to find freelance work, direct links that are legit from companies hiring right now (updated daily!), free resume reviews, interview tips and more. You can see it here.

So you can see that we don’t rely on one main income source but several. When we lost our full time income in 2020, we will always put our time into multiple sources so that if one fails or is slow then we have other options.

In addition, we’ll be at the RV Tampa Supershow this month. If you’re in the area, swing in and find us. We will have a meet and greet on Saturday, Jan. 21st at 12:30 in the meet and greet barn. More details soon, be sure to get on our mailing list for more details as they come out.

See ya on the road!
