How much are the usual earnings of a digital nomad? (aka how much are you making?)

I feel most earn only $1000 to $2000 and spend it ALL on travelling. I don't think thats mentally and financially sustainable.

Do u have a job/business/freelance? And in which niche?

[–] CommitteeOk3099@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I average on a similar $15 - $17k a month and it goes much higher on summer months, April to Oct.

Also slowmading for most of the year. 6 to 8 weeks at least in one place.

Any advices for someone starting from zero? What would you do if you had to start from scratch?

Learn something / be great at something people are willing to pay for.

Otherwise, If you have great work ethic (willing to hustle 50/60hrs a week for 2-4 years), then offer a simple service (e.g., cold outreach, podcast placements, whatever else can be standardized with SOPs) until you reach $10k monthly profit. Then parlay that into higher margin businesses like software.
