Starting Your Expatsi Digital Nomad Business

Are you wanting to move abroad but don’t know how you’ll support yourself abroad? Why not start your own business helping others find new lives abroad?

This is why Jen and I started Expatsi in 2022. We wanted to move to Mexico, but we had to work office jobs in the U.S. and couldn’t take the leap. We built Expatsi to create income that traveled with us, while helping other people move abroad, too.

Now, you can also create your own business helping people move with Expatsi. The great news is that you don’t have to reinvent what we’ve already made – you can just share what we offer with your audience, and there are zero costs. 

Stephanie has put together a fantastic, free training program, and we recommend using existing social tools and networks to spread the word, like Substack, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook groups, blogs, weekly newsletters, and livestreams. 

We have tons of valuable resources you can share, including hundreds of videos and articles you can leverage in promoting your business with us.

We don’t expect you to be a mega influencer to be an Expatsi affiliate. Instead, focus on building a small audience of people like you. Start by telling your own friends and family about your plans to move abroad, then share the relevant Expatsi resources if they’re interested in doing the same. We want to reward your authenticity.

While your business won’t grow overnight, the opportunity is there for those who are persistent. If you’re familiar with affiliate marketing, you’ll know that consistent effort generates better results than sharing offers only occasionally. We strive to reward your efforts with generous commission on sales of trips, relocation packages, memberships, and events. 

Let’s consider a couple of scenarios here and how you can get paid enough as an Expatsi affiliate to fund your life abroad:

If you wanted to move to Portugal, you could use the D2 visa for new businesses. If you wanted to earn at least minimum wage in Portugal (about $1,100 gross), you could earn that by helping two couples per month move to Portugal:

  • Annual memberships (earn $165.60)
  • Portugal scouting trips (Porto & Lisbon only) (earn $759.80)
  • Relocation visa packages (earn $100.90)

U.S. citizens can actually stay in Albania for a full year, no visa required. A $1,000 monthly budget is enough to get you started, which you could earn by helping five people per month find their paths to different countries:

  • Annual memberships (earn $413)
  • Consultations with our local expats ($80)
  • Small group coaching sessions with our therapist ($392)
  • Scouting trip to Colombia for a couple ($208.50)

The Netherlands DAFT visa allows an American citizen to open a Dutch bank account, deposit a modest amount of money, and start any kind of business, including online. Here’s how you could earn the country’s minimum wage (about $3,000) in a month:

  • Six annual memberships ($1000)
  • Two attendees on the Netherlands Love Tour ($1079.90)
  • A couple on the Ghana scouting trip ($200)
  • Netherlands full service relocation package ($800)

As you can see, it doesn’t take many sales to facilitate your own move abroad. We generate new info every week that you can share with your audience, along with our extensive resources, trip itineraries, and professional services that have already moved thousands of Americans. Our new training program helps you get moving quickly, while our core team is standing by to help support you and your mission.
