As a digital nomad, I often find myself working in coffee shops, friends’ backyards, and on the road. This means that I need to be able to minimize the number of programs I’m using but still maximize my productivity and content quality. I’ve narrows down the list of websites I use based on their ability to help me keep up with my workload. Here are my top four picks:

Canva

I am not a graphic designer. This is not a false humblebrag masquerading as an honest admission — I truly am not a graphic designer. I cannot use photoshop or illustrator to save my life, and the thought of having to design something from scratch absolutely terrifies me. Although I am certainly learning the basics of graphic design.

So you can imagine my relief when I found Canva. Canva is a lifesaver for someone like me who needs to quickly create professional-looking designs but doesn’t have the time or skills to do so manually. With a few simple clicks, I can create beautiful designs that wouldn’t look out of place in a high-end studio. And best of all, it’s free!* So if you’re like me and graphic design is not your forte, never fear — Canva is here to save the day.

*You can also pay for a premium version which costs $12.99/month

Heropost

As a content creator, I know the importance of staying organized and always being one step ahead. That’s why I love Heropost. With Heropost, I can add as many accounts as I want and group them all together. So if I have four clients who all want a month’s worth of content, it’s no problem. Plus, I can schedule everything in advance, so I never have to worry about missing a deadline. And because I paid for a lifelong membership, I don’t have to worry about ever having to pay again.

Heropost is truly an underrated tool for content creators and digital nomads — and it’s totally affordable. If you’re not using Heropost, you’re seriously missing out!

Notion

I remember the first time I came across Notion. I was looking for a way to organize my ideas and content, and someone recommended this platform. I was skeptical at first, but after using it for a while, I quickly realized that it was exactly what I needed. Not only is it easy to use, but it also has a ton of features that make it perfect for organizing everything. From ideas and content to invoices and even files, I have everything I need in my Notion.

Over the years, I’ve tried to switch to newer platforms but none of them have been able to live up to Notion’s standards. That’s why I continue to use this platform today and why I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way to organize their thoughts and ideas. Thanks, Notion!

YouTube

I can’t remember when exactly I started using YouTube but I do remember that it was a very different place back then. For starters, there were no recommended videos or algorithm telling me what to watch next. I had to actually scroll through the entire site to find something that caught my eye. But that was half the fun, in a way. YouTube was this mysterious world of videos waiting to be discovered. And discovery was key because, unlike today, there weren’t a lot of people making videos. So, if you found a good one, it felt like you had struck gold.

Of course, YouTube has come a long way since then. It’s become more polished and professional, for better or for worse. But despite all the changes, one thing has remained the same: YouTube is still an amazing place to learn new things. Whether I want to learn how to cook a new dish or figure out how to fix my car, there’s always someone on YouTube who can teach me what I need to know. And that’s why, even after all these years, I’m still a big fan of YouTube.

YouTube also doubles as a great place to post content so it’s really a win win!

There are a lot of different websites out there that can be useful for digital nomads. It can be tough to know which ones are worth your time, and which ones you can do without. But luckily, we’ve gone over some of the best websites for digital nomads, so you can make an informed decision about which ones will work best for you. I would love to hear any recommendations in the comments!
