Say Thanks
We come from the beginning days of blogging - when sharing was a hobby, not a career.
While many content creators are sharing these days with the intention of it being a primary income source - that's not us.
This space is our hobby - we do this for fun. We made that a conscious decision a long time ago - as we never wanted our income to be tied to having to have a great day to share about just to afford the next day. That didn't sound like fun.
Our primary income source, and full time 'job' is running the Mobile Internet Resource Center - where we focus on helping RVers and cruisers keep connected. It keeps us mighty busy, and we don't always have time to keep content rolling here on Technomadia.
And it DOES takes a lot of time, effort and cash to make this all happen.
And why do we do it?
We really and sincerely enjoy it!(usually.. and when we don't, we take a break.)
If you enjoy the content we share with you.. hearing your appreciation keeps us inspired to keep creating! This page is about how we most appreciate receiving your gratitude.
Interact With Us (and it's free!)
We share to interact with our readers & viewers, perhaps help someone and make new friends.
Our absolute favorite way to hear your appreciation is a bit of interaction.. here's some easy ways:
-
- Comment on posts & videos - let us know you're enjoying what we share. Even just saying thanks is awesome. Please don't be shy. We put a lot of effort into creating the content you're viewing or reading.
- Engage - Clicking the Like button, subscribing, setting notifications, commenting all helps the various social media algorithms know you enjoy our content, and others might too.
- Sharing is caring - If our content helped you, it may helps others too... help us get it out there. Click the share buttons for Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or wherever else you're active. Link to our posts if they answer a question you see in groups & forums.
- Be In Touch - Invite us out, say thanks, send love to Kiki.
Leave a Tip (aka 'Virtual Wine')
While we never expect it, and it's not our goal to earn our income from our sharing - 'virtual wine' goes a LONG way in keeping us inspired. Contributions make our heart sing, we do a happy dance and they go into our fun fund (not our daily living budget.)
Financial Gifting Suspended
Usually we have a tip jar in this space. However during these unusual times - we are blessed to still have an income source, and are doing just fine. If you're inspired to send a financial gift, we ask that you instead support a cause, person or small business more in need than us. Thank you!
Tip Button Inactive
Or you can use the 'SuperChat' feature during one of our live broadcasts on YouTube (although, YouTube keeps 30%).
(A note about Patreon - we used to offer this too, but it started feeling too much like work. And we didn't like having a community only focused on folks who support us financially on a monthly basis.)
Support our Work
Remember we mentioned Technomadia is our hobby? Well we do work full time too. We're creators who enjoy solving everyday situations we encounter.
Over our many years on the road, we've developed some truly useful related resources. And yes, you'll see us mention them here - think of it more like us talking socially about our workday at happy hour.
Supporting these projects by utilizing them, sharing them and purchasing is supporting our careers & earned income. We do strive to create really useful things, so hopefully they are tools you can utilize in your own pursuit of mobility.
Mobile Internet Resource Center
We were writing so much content about mobile internet here on Technomadia as we talked about being software developers on the road, and fielding so many questions - that we just couldn't keep up with our inbox.
On a whim one day back in 2013 we decided to put all our blog posts on the topic together in one place and discovered we had a book (now discontinued). A year later we launched a dedicated website - the Mobile Internet Resource Center.
We never in our wildest imagination thought that one little action would become our primary focus.
And we absolutely love it - we get the help people directly with something we're passionate & knowledgeable about. And we get paid by the very people who utilize the resources without having to sell out to sponsors & advertisers.
Here's what we offer there:
- Mobile Internet News Feed (free)
- YouTube Channel (free)
- Monthly Newsletter (free)
- Facebook Library Desk (free)
- Resource Center (guides & articles)
- Gear Center for Products Overview & Reviews
- Mobile Internet Aficionados - Our premium members are who fund most of what we do. Our members get access to our more in-depth content (classroom, guides, product reviews, Q&A forums, newsletters, alerts, community, webinars, book updates and more). It's our program designed for those who rely on mobile internet for their mobile lifestyle.
We welcome you to utilize this resource and share out news items with your friends, readers and followers too!
Mobile Travel Apps
We wrote a few apps to solve problems we encountered in our own travels - and make them available to you. We have since partnered with a fellow full time nomad to help keep these apps up to date while we focus on the Mobile Internet Resource Center:
Coverage? for iOS & Android™
Coverage? is the app digital nomads, bandwidth junkies and travelers crave - knowing where they can expect to be connected next! Overlaying all of the major cellular carrier's coverage maps in a standardized layout, allows end users to see where they will can most likely get LTE, 4G, Edge or be off network.
State Lines for iPhone & Android™
Compiled after over 7 years of full time RV road-tripping across the USA, and after many hours of research on state specific information, State Lines is an indispensable traveler's guidebook to highly variable state regulations.
US Public Lands for iOS & Android™
Overlays BLM, Forest Service, NPS and public land boundary maps. Helping you utilize US national resources!
