Recently I had a conversation with a woman who told me that she was concerned about her son who was living in Peru… and no, his name isn’t Paddington and I don’t know if he likes marmalade sandwiches.
One of the reasons she was concerned was that he had overstayed his welcome. He had stayed longer than his visa allowed.
It didn’t help either that he was struggling financially as he was not working or earning any money.
His girlfriend was Peruvian so that may help should the authorities find him… or it may not.
Apparently he used to work for Apple, but she didn’t say whether he worked online or whether he had to go to a place of work when he was employed by them.
The picture that I had in my mind was that he was kind of ‘hiding’ out somewhere in deepest Peru without a job and with little money.
I can’t say that it sounds like much fun.
It was at this point that I suggested that he should either look for online remote work or if he was really desperate and needed money quick, go to one of the many websites that are looking for writers and earn money writing content for people.
Even with all of this talk about AI writing tools taking over the world, there is still a huge demand for ‘real’ writers.
The reason I suggested it is that this would be a perfect way for someone who is holed up in a foreign country to make some much needed money.
There is a whole range of services he could offer online.
People need social media managers, virtual assistants, graphic designers, researchers, there are a lot of things he could do… but writing is probably the easiest to get started with.
Firstly, you don’t need to be that brilliant at writing.
And secondly, it requires no tools other than something to write in such as MS Word or Google Docs, and a way to send the work to the client, which is often done through platforms like Fiverr and Upwork by simply uploading the finished work.
It’s all very simple and easy.

For someone who is currently not working and is sat around twiddling his thumbs… he could quite easily spend the day writing several articles and have money in the bank before nightfall.
I know that writing isn’t for everyone… but ‘when needs must’, it is probably the easiest way to make money online today… and it can be done from anywhere in the world.
In a previous articles I have shared with you the story of Mike Shreeve who at a low point in life found himself homeless and living in a tent in a park.
Knowing that he had no other option but to pull himself out of the mire and find the money so that he could rent an apartment, he took himself to the nearest library everyday and used the library’s computers to make money writing for clients.
He turned his life around by simply writing for clients.
I recently shared with you that I had earned £504 during January sharing my articles on the Medium website; I currently have £25.29 in my Medium account for the first two days of February… who knows how much I’ll have made by the end of the month!
Those articles which are making money on Medium, I write them for specific projects and then share them on the platform as a way to send people to my website.
The money from them is a bonus.
Imagine if the guy lost in Peru was publishing his own articles to sites like Medium as well as writing for paid clients, he could soon be earning more than enough money to survive… at least he’ll be able to afford the flight home to avoid being sent to prison.
The truth is… there is money to be made with the written word… in more ways than one.
Earlier this week I shared with you the story of Niki Puls who made just shy of £97,000 in nine months after writing and publishing her first eBook.
She now runs a six-figure business off the back of that initial eBook.
There is nothing stopping you from doing the same…
There is a lot of money waiting for you at the tip of your fingers.

PS… Writing is something that can be done anywhere. It could be done while sitting on your sofa watching your favourite television shows if you so wished. I know people who write with their feet up, listening to music and enjoying a mug or two of tea. What they write makes them money.
