Hey Product Hunt 👋 Chris here - 🧑‍💻 Digital Nomad & Chief Deal-Hunter 🔎 at RemoteBase! 🟠 6 years ago I spent a week working from Madrid 🇪🇸 - it changed my life! Since then I slowed right down, spending 1-2 months in a place... Making these longer bookings I realised: there’s some KILLER deals on monthly stays 📅 ...if you know where (and how) to look! Deals like... • 60% off a month in Bangkok 🇹🇭 • 80% off a month on Greek islands 🇬🇷 • 76% off a month in Lisbon 🇵🇹 • ...and so many more 🌍 I started keeping track of deals I found - First with an Airbnb wishlist, then Google sheets... 📥 But I wanted to share these crazy discounts with the community! So in 2019 I started a mailing list to share the love! The idea was to create a kind of scott's cheap flights or jack's flight club - but for nomad accommodation deals. ➡️ Fast forward to today... I find, curate, and share 2 emails a month, with more than 3k Digital Nomads & Travelling Remote Workers - for FREE! The deals range in size, budget & location, but no matter what I was sending, Members always asked for more! 🌍🏡 So last year (2022), to help Members with specific budget, location & size preferences, I launched a paid tier... 🟠RemoteBase Premium - the $68/yr subscription saving you thousands! 🧡 🚨 Premium Members get regular alerts on deals matching their specific preferences, like... 🟠 1 bedroom listings at the BEACH in ASIA, for less than €800 🟠 3 bedroom listings in CITIES, in LATAM, for less than $1,700 🟠 2 bedroom listings in EUROPE for less than £1,000 Typically, Premium Members get 4-7x more deals than free Members! 🤔 So... Having started back in 2019, you might be wondering why I'm only JUST launching here... Good question! Basically, as RemoteBase gets bigger, more time & effort can go into finding & curating top deals - and when it comes to negotiating exclusive rates for Members, the bigger RemoteBase is, the more leverage there is for top rates. 📈 🚀 After a WILD 2022 - sharing over $700k in savings across 81 countries! I wanna go even bigger & better! 2 Goals for RemoteBase in 2023 are... 💸 Curate over $1,000,000 in accommodation savings for Members! 💡 Become THE independent, trusted voice for nomad-accommodation. RemoteBase doesn't make more money if you book certain accommodation - which means I can stay laser focussed on sharing only the good-stuff! 📢 Launching here... now... is part of my forever-mission: to find more digital nomads & remote workers, so ALL Members can benefit from even MORE top deals - and either start, or continue their nomad journey! 🥳 🧑‍💻 Members range from full time digital nomads to remote-workers getting away for 1-3 months a year... From solo-nomads to couples & nomadic-families... From business owners, to freelancers, and remote 9-5er's... From developers to marketers, life-coaches to lawyers... If that☝️ sounds like you, or you'd enjoy & benefit from these curated deals, I'd love to see you on the free newsletter 📥 getting all the top deals we find! - And if you want to check out 🟠RemoteBase Premium, you can use code PH50 to get the first year half price! 🎁 Thanks for reading PH! 🧡

@rb_chris 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on the launch Chris! 🚀 It is awesome and frankly quite necessary 😍 giving the ever growing numbers of full time digital nomads and remote workers. I will definitely take a look 👀 into it, perhaps even become a nomad myself when time allows for it! ⏰🌍👨‍💻
Chris Cerra
Thanks @gabrielromero! If it helps you get your nomad journey started, I count that as a win! Let me know if you have thoughts, I'm only ever a reply away from all the deal alert emails 😃
Steven Birchall
Congrats on the launch @rb_chris. Will definitely be checking the newsletter out.
Chris Cerra
Thanks @stevenbirchall, I'll be glad to have you! 😃 You can hit reply at any time if you want to share any thoughts or feedback on the a specific deal-alert, or just to say hey 👋
Ongun Demirler
This is just awesome, and sounds like a dream for many many remote employees and freelancers working from around the world without being stuck in one place. I have several employees like that, I think they could benefir from it! Congratulations on this great launch!
Chris Cerra
Hey @demirlero, I'm glad you think so, RemoteBase has tons of traveling freelancers as members 🙏 Feel free to share RemtoeBase with your employees, I'm sure helping them save some time & money on their next trip will top up team moral! 😃
Justin Johnson
Being in the travel industry as well, I see real value in this! Can you book within this too or is it the content (i.e the deals)? Congrats on the launch!
Chris Cerra
Thanks @justin_govy! No option to book via RemoteBase! 🤭 The philosophy is there's already enough booking platforms out there, rather than add another one to the mix, the mission is to curate what's available and highlight the top listings to RemoteBase members. If you want to book, you just click through, and book the same way you would if you came across the property organically 😃
Justin Johnson
@rb_chris We're dealing with some issues with booking capabilities in our business. Poor quality inventory because we're a startup and brings so many additional barriers when incorporating it. Only question then is the business model? Monetize via advertising?
Chris Cerra
@justin_govy Hey Justin, yeah so we monetize with sponsorship on the free newsetter, and with a premium membership which gives people access to the best deals, and more deals, which are matched to their preferecens on size, budget, and location :)
