Introduction#
The blogger recently completed over 100 days of budget travel around the world, during which the most frequently asked question was, "What supports your global travel?" This is no secret; the blogger's savings account for 60% of the total expenses, while 40% of the expenses come from remote online income, also known as "digital nomad income."
Below, the blogger shares several easy ways to earn remote income, most of which are applicable to everyone and require no prior experience to earn the first income as a digital nomad.
Remote Income#
Referral Cashback#
Cashback income can account for about 40% of total remote income, but the blogger will not mindlessly promote products' Referral Links; only practical and useful products will be shared through the blog.
The products shared by the blogger include “Foreign Travel IP”, “UK Forwarding Address”, “Swiss Bank”, “Free Transfer Exchange”, “Travel SIM Card”, “European Digital Bank”, “Pure Residential IP”, etc.
Among them, the Referral Link for the travel IP allows the blogger to repeatedly earn dividends as long as invited users make repeat purchases and gain usage time for the IP. Foreign customers have strong purchasing power, bringing an average of $1,000 in passive income each year.
Foreign Currency Trader#
A foreign currency trader refers to a merchant who buys low and sells high USDT using foreign currency (e.g., EUR). Foreign currency traders face less competition than offshore RMB traders, and the risk control threshold for foreign currency accounts is higher.
The income from foreign currency trading can account for about 50% of total remote income. The blogger uses the official cryptocurrency trading platform of Dukascopy Swiss Bank (911App) to sell USDT at a price of $1.05 each (transaction fee 0.5%) using the Bitfinex free transfer (tron network) feature;
Trading process: The seller places an order to sell USDT at $1.05 on the 911App, waiting for buyers to inquire about purchasing. Dukascopy Bank freezes the buyer's inquiry amount, and the seller sends USDT to the buyer's address on the Bitfinex exchange and clicks to ship (fills in the transaction number). After the buyer receives the goods, the amount will automatically be credited to the seller's Dukascopy USD account.
Then, the USD balance is converted to EUR within the Dukascopy Bank App (currency conversion fee 0.5%), and then withdrawn to the Kraken exchange (withdrawal fee 2.3 EUR); finally, Kraken places an order to buy USDT with EUR (transaction fee 0.25%) and transfers it to the Bitfinex exchange (transfer fee 0.6 USDT), completing a round of trading closure.
The entire process is stable with no money laundering and no risk control issues. Taking 1,000 USDT as an example, a round of trading can yield a profit of 26-30+ USDT (depending on the EUR/USDT exchange rate). The Dukascopy basic account has a quarterly deposit limit of $5,000, and high-income bank statements can be submitted to increase the quarterly limit. Due to the large number of Middle Eastern clients (with a six-hour time difference) and less competition on the 911App platform, a monthly trading volume of 10k can be easily achieved, resulting in a profit of 260-300 USDT.
YouTube Channel#
The blogger has years of experience in long-form self-media, so during the budget travel period, they also filmed videos and created video self-media on YouTube, managing to enable YouTube monetization in two to three months. Currently, this income accounts for about 10% of total expenses.
