I too am moving to MEXICO on JAN 12. Hoping to be able to work from my computer too. What service do you feel you could provide? And where have you chosen to live?

Hi, would like to live in Merida Yucatan. That's were I'm stuck I don't know what kind of service to provide. Any ideas??

Some people write e-books and travel articles for tourists and potential expats, but I don't know how successful they are financially with that.

The first question to answer is what are your skills??? 

When it comes to working independently, if it was easy, everybody would do it.  And if everybody could it, there would be no money in it.

Be successful on your computer first.  Then move anywhere you like.

Hi, I have tried working from my computer several months ago it is hard to find anything. I finally went to an english school and offered my services as an english teacher. See it as a hobby because you hardly get paid for it. Good luck!

Your post does not reflect fluency in English.  You might want to polish your grammar.

I envy your dual citizenship.  Being born in the USA and of Caucasian descent, I am prevented from having a Mexican passport.  They wish to become US citizens, but their government refuses to allow people from the USA to obtain Mexican Citizenship.....how one-sided.

@mjplatt:

What leads you to think that you are prevented from becoming a Mexican citizen?  Perhaps it's due to ignorance, because there is a path open to you. 

Also, being Caucasian has nothing to do with it.  It's simply that, being born in one country, you are not automatically citizen of all other countries.  That simple, world-wide.  Some countries will let you immigrate after following their process, some will not.  Mexico is one that will. Here's the process:

1) get your FM3 as a renter.  Very easy, show that you have the monthly income to support yourself.  Takes 2 weeks.
2) renew it annually for five years.
3) once you have lived for five years under FM3, apply to change it to FM2
4) keep that active for 2 years(?)
5) at that point apply to change status to immigrant and become citizen.

That's the path. If you really want to immigrate, and are not just complaining for it's own sake.

Personally, I'm happier with an FM3 as I have certain privileges that living as a Mex citizen would deny me. FM2 also has certain limitations.  That's life, make your choices.

Cheers,
steve

ithink Freelancingis good option.  Depending on your skills, you can freelance in various fields such as writing, graphic design, web development, digital marketing, and more. Websites like Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr can connect you with clients seeking your expertise.

If you don’t have computer skills you can work remote for a us company doing telephone sales. You don’t need a visa and it is easy to set up autodialer on your computer -and payroll through PayPal. The work can be demanding and the pay low $300 - 400 for 40 plus hours but it’s better than nothing. Go to Glassdoor - remote worldwide - telephone sales. You can start right away- native English speakers preferred no need for bilingual.
