Jobs you can do with a laptop and internet connection?
Discussion
Can anyone suggest any jobs that are possible with nothing more than a laptop and an internet connection? Basically jobs that would enable the employee to be located anywhere they want, even travelling around if they so wish. Obviously things that don't require physical presence in an office, face-to-face contact with customers/suppliers or handling of physical goods.

Retail day trading.
You cannot lose.
As it happens I've been spread betting for over ten years. I consider myself lucky to have broken even over that time. If I thought for one minute that I could make a reliable living from retail trading I'd be sat on a yacht in the Bahamas and I wouldn't have started this thread!You cannot lose.
Interesting stuff.
I've been a graphic designer for 20 years but pay is abysmal, at least when you stack it up against UK living costs, so I need to find a solution. Last October I was in Fuerteventura where you can buy a nice, two bed villa with a pool for £80k, you never need to turn the heating on, petrol is 80p per litre and their equivalent of council tax is £100 per year. Basically, the cost of living there is about in line with ordinary wages in the UK, and their internet is plenty good enough, hence my curiosity.
Obviously if I moved there I'd struggle to find decent paying work locally, but if I could take my work with me from the UK it would be a different story. Plus, I have an online business idea which I'm exploring so a job where I'm allowed to work the hours I choose as long as the work gets done would provide some useful flexibility.
