Nomad Destinations
🌆 THIS U.S. CITY WILL PAY YOU $10K TO WORK REMOTE
If you’ve been thinking about relocating but don’t know where, Tulsa, Oklahoma might surprise you. Through the Tulsa Remote program, the city offers remote workers $10,000 to move there, plus perks like a year of free coworking and built-in community events to help you connect.
Why Tulsa? They’re betting big on remote workers as a growth strategy. For nomads who want an affordable U.S. base with low cost of living, strong community, and decent flight connections, this program is worth a look.
🔑 WHAT TRUE FREEDOM LOOKS LIKE
Let’s be honest: a lot of “remote work” still feels like a desk job with better wallpaper. Zoom marathons, endless emails, and Slack pings at midnight aren’t freedom.
True freedom is about control:
Designing your own schedule around your energy, not your boss’s.
Building income streams that aren’t tied to a single client or paycheck.
Traveling without guilt or permission slips.
Knowing you can step away from your laptop without your entire business falling apart.
Freedom isn’t about working less—it’s about working smarter, with systems that let you live first and work second. That’s the real goal of being a Nomadpreneur.
The AI Revolution
🤖 PANIC OR OPPORTUNITY? AI & THE FUTURE OF WORK
Headlines love to scream “AI is taking jobs!”—but nomads and solopreneurs should see it differently: AI isn’t just taking jobs, it’s reshaping work. That means opportunities for those who adapt first.
Here are a few ways nomads can thrive in the AI revolution:
AI-Powered Services: Businesses everywhere want AI, but don’t know how to use it. Helping them integrate AI tools is a service people will pay for.
Content & Coaching: You don’t need to be a tech genius—teaching everyday users how to apply AI to productivity, writing, or travel is valuable.
AI-Boosted Freelancing: Copywriters, designers, editors, and marketers can use AI to increase output and take on more clients without burning out.
Simple Products: Prompt libraries, niche templates, and dashboards are quick to create and easy to sell.
Instead of asking “Will AI take my job?”, start asking “How can I use AI to make my next income stream?” That shift in thinking is where new businesses are born.
Nomadpreneur Growth Hacking
🚀 MARKETING & GROWTH DEEP DIVE: EMAIL MARKETING MADE SIMPLE
If there’s one growth strategy that works no matter where you are in the world, it’s email marketing. Social media algorithms change, ads get expensive, but your email list? That’s yours.
Here’s why email marketing is essential for nomadpreneurs:
Direct Access: You’re not competing with a feed—your message lands straight in your subscriber’s inbox.
Trust Building: Weekly tips, stories, and insights turn cold leads into warm relationships.
Conversions: People are far more likely to buy through email than social media.
How to Start:
Create a Lead Magnet – Offer something valuable for free (a guide, checklist, or quiz) in exchange for an email.
Set Up a Simple Signup Form – Use tools like ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or MailerLite to capture emails.
Send a Welcome Sequence – A short 3–4 email series introducing who you are, what you offer, and delivering value.
Stay Consistent – Send something weekly. It doesn’t need to be long—just useful.
👉 Action step for this week: brainstorm one simple freebie you could create (a “5 Tips” guide or checklist works). That’s the first brick in your long-term marketing system.
