There are people who’ve become millionaires after three to four years of being a ‘public figure’ on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. It involves backpacking and uploading content on your social account. However, there is one condition, and that is simple. There must be something ‘unique’ about your account that will encourage people to follow you. Maybe you are trying to capture a particular aspect of every place you visit. Maybe there is a theme to all of your images and content. If you want your page to stand out among many that already exist, if you want to be trending, you have to create a unique identity in the social media world. The returns are huge.
Language skills: ENGLISH
The language English is one way of getting around in the world. Quite literally. In countries in Eastern Europe, Africa and in Japan, people are welcomed to teach the language English voluntarily. You can teach about anything from your educational qualification and you will be paid. You could stay in that city for a month and work as a teacher during the day while enjoying the city after school hours. No matter how much you do, you will be paid.
