Learn how to make money online to fund your move abroad and build financial freedom for your family. These proven strategies work even if you’re starting from zero and juggling motherhood.
The Dream That Changed Everything
If you’ve ever dreamed about packing up your life in the U.S., moving abroad, and giving your kids a slower, more affordable, happier life — you’re not alone.
I’m Violet, a mom of two, digital marketer, and future expat building a business that allows me to work from anywhere. When I decided I was done surviving paycheck to paycheck in the U.S., I made a plan to create online income that could support my move abroad — and keep funding my life overseas.
Here’s exactly how I did it — and how you can, too.
1. Choose Your Money Path: Freelance, Digital Products, or Affiliate Income
There are three simple ways to start earning online fast — even if you don’t have a huge following or tech background:
- Freelancing: Offer a service (like social media management, virtual assistant work, or content writing). You can start on sites like Upwork, Fiverr, or build your own site like I did.
- Digital Products: Create and sell eBooks, guides, or templates that solve problems — like a Budget Planner for Moms. Use your skills or upgrade them and share what you know.
- Affiliate Marketing: Promote products you already use and love. You earn a commission for every sale made through your link. Start with Tiktok Shop or Amazon Affiliates, those two are the easiest to join, and most popular.
Pro Tip: You only need one of these to start. Pick what feels easiest to you and build from there.
2. Build a Simple Personal Brand That Sells
You don’t need to be an influencer — you need to be authentic and visible.
Share your story: why you want to move abroad, what you’re learning, and how you’re making it happen.
Create consistent posts on TikTok, Pinterest, or Instagram around your journey. People will connect with your story before they buy from you.
Example: I grew my account by sharing “how I’m moving to Spain with my kids” — and now moms reach out daily asking how they can do it too.
3. Automate Your Income with AI Tools
AI has made it easier than ever to make money online. You can use tools like:
- ChatGPT or Jasper → to write emails, captions, and eBooks faster
- Canva → to design digital products
- Stan Store or Systeme.io → to sell offers and automate payments
Once you set up the systems, your online business can run even while you’re traveling or taking care of your family.
4. Fund Your Move with Purpose
Your online income doesn’t have to make you rich overnight — it just needs to replace what you spend where you want to live.
For example, if your monthly expenses abroad are $2,000, focus on hitting that number first through a mix of services and passive income.
Every dollar you earn online brings you closer to boarding that flight.
5. Keep Learning, Keep Growing
There’s no one-size-fits-all path to online income. But the secret is consistency.
Start small, stay committed, and use your “why” — a better life for your family — as your motivation. Upgrade your skills if you can, and use your knowledge to help people.
