Hey guys, I had this idea about starting a collective for digital nomads. I don't have much experience in starting a collective or being a digital nomad but the idea is there and I believe it could work. I have read many digital nomad blogs and they all seem to be one person traveling and working for themselves which is great and all but one person is only limited to a few skills.
Now imagine if there was a collective of digital nomads who collaborated on projects in order to earn enough money to travel and basically go anywhere. For example, if we have a collective of graphic designers, web developers, marketing specialists, web designers, programmers, writers and so on all traveling around the country city to city completing projects and squatting or camping out we could practically go anywhere.
This is the perfect time for something like this to evolve. Start-ups are emerging everywhere and it seems like every business needs some kind of work done. Not to mention all the work available on sites like oDesk, Elance and Craigslist. Whether it be just a simple app or a website for a local business we could crank out projects in days and move on. I think the best part about this idea would be the amount of freedom we would have and the ability to travel place to place when business dries up.
The only problems I can foresee is how the money would be divided fairly. As well as, obtaining sufficient internet connection and power supply, but I know there are a few tricks of the trade out there.
Well, I am going to keep this first post rather short since I have no idea if this would be possible let alone if people would be interested. I haven't seen anything on the forums related to digital nomads but I know there has to be a few of you out there with such skills and aspiration. Let me know if you think this is possible or if anything like this has been done? Thanks.
