Pieter Levels Makes $2.9m a Year From Nomad List and Remote OK
Pieter Levels is a digital nomad making about $2.9m a year from his products as of July 2022. He taught himself to code and has an unconventional philosophy that annoys some developers but produces results. Pieter defied the critics and built Nomad List and Remote OK into successful businesses without cutting edge tools like React or other modern frameworks.
(Since this article was originally published Pieter's income grew from $600k/year to $2.9m!)
Who is Pieter Levels?
Pieter is a self-taught developer from The Netherlands. He has an MBA but no coding qualifications. His age is 36. As we will see in today's article he has a rough and ready approach to learning to code but it pays off handsomely.
His two main products are his Nomad List directory of places for digital nomads to live and his Remote OK job board. Pieter is active on Twitter and has a very strong following there.
As he works for himself he is able to travel extensively and live where he choses. Although, rather than the common misconception of digital nomads being constantly on the move, Pieter recommends spending a few months in each place. This way you avoid travel burnout.
