First way to make money in the middle of nowhere 

You’re in the middle of nowhere but in a city with a golf course.  What do golf courses have?  Water hazards!  You go into the lake and find the golf balls that are in the lake from bad shots.  Collect a box full and approach the other golfers on the course.  Sell them for a dollar a piece.  Believe me, the golfers will buy them!  This is the first way to make money when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Second way to make money in the middle of nowhere

You’re in the middle of nowhere, but that place has neighborhoods with houses in them.  You drive down the street until you see a dirty car in the driveway or some bushes that need to be trimmed badly.  You knock on the door and politely tell the person who answers that you are traveling and need to make a few bucks and that you would gladly trim all their bushes for $5.00 or gladly wash their car for them for $5.00. Of course, they will need to provide the device to trim the bushes and the bucket, soap, and water to wash the car.  But there are nice people all around who are willing to help out someone who is willing to work for money.  Give it a try you will see that it works!

Third way to make money in the middle of nowhere

You are traveling and nowhere, but you are staying at a hotel with wifi!  Guess what?  There are literally hundreds of ways to make money using just the laptop that you have. Just one way is as follows:  sign up to Bloglovin.com.  Then go to Fiverr.com and register yourself as a “seller” of services.  Create a gig to sell Bloglovin guest posts for $10.00.  When someone orders, you write the content for the order, add an image, add the person’s outbound link to their website, and deliver the order.  You just made $10.00 using your computer in the middle of nowhere.

You’d be surprised at how much you can make by just helping people with everyday tasks.
