That helps the video a lot. So I want to talk about this digital nomad thing. First off, it's not going to be, and I hate to be honest, but I have to be honest with you guys. It's not going to be you sitting by the pool with a laptop barely working. You've got to work hard, okay? You've got to work hard. You can travel the world. You can make a lot of money, and I'm showing you how to do that in this video. However, you're going to have to put in the effort, okay? Now I know I've been putting in effort for almost over a decade, okay? Over a decade online, but I also know that there are times when I can just kick back and do nothing, okay? But it's not an everyday thing. It just being able to sell online allows me freedom with my time to work anywhere I want and to make really good money. And every now and then I'll treat myself and I'll do nothing, okay? I will sit by the pool, but I don't even bring the laptop. So you can do that, too. Okay. So let's define first off what is a digital nomad? A digital nomad is nothing more than somebody who works online, okay? That's the first part of it, but they work anywhere they want. Anywhere they want, which is pretty cool. I have several friends who are digital nomads. And they may spend, you know, two months in a country. They may spend six months in a country. I will tell you this, when you're a digital nomad, I wouldn't say, you know, move from week to week to week to week. If you were to do that, you burn up so much time traveling, it's just not worth it. Get in an area and stay there and enjoy the area for a little bit, okay? Spend a little bit of time there. The number one thing I'd tell you to do is to start to reduce location ties and expenses. And here's what I mean by that. You may want to consider selling your car. I think most of the digital nomads I know don't even own a car. You also have to look at the monthly expenses you may not pay attention to. Maybe there's gym memberships, stuff like that. Sports memberships, those type of things. In addition to that, there's other things that you're paying on a monthly basis that you won't be paying on the road. But there's also expenses that you don't want to be paying. So, that was one of the things that I wanted to tell you about. Pay off all the debts you possibly can. It's much better to go on the road with no debt. I'm not saying everybody can do that, but if you can go on the road with no debt, it releases you from having to earn quite as much money while you're on the road. Number two, join a digital community. A digital nomad community. There's one called Location Indie. Location Indie. I'll put the link right here for Location Indie. And you can meet other people. You can see what they're doing. You can see what they're doing. You can see what they're doing. And you can meet other people. You can see how they're earning money. You can see where they're staying. You're seeing how they handle their insurance, their health, their wealth, whatever. And they can give you insight and tips. So, join one of these communities and you can learn a lot from them. Number three, identify your skills. How can you make money online? I have several videos on this channel that you can watch on how to make money online. And I would direct you to one of those. So, just go to the search bar on my channel and type in make money online. I'm sure you're going to find plenty of videos like that. But maybe you already have some skills. Maybe you speak English and you'd like to teach English online. Maybe you're a translator. Maybe you can do web design. Maybe you can do SEO. Maybe you want to be an assistant to somebody. You can do that. You can be assistant to several people as long as they don't need you all day long. And that's not the agreement. So, check into all the skills you have. You probably have the skills right now that you need to make money online. Number four, become a freelancer. There are so many different sites now. Like Freelancer.com. There's Upwork.com. There's WeWork.com. And you can go in there and there's so many different opportunities to make money. I would suggest you just going to one of these sites and looking at the areas that you think you'd like to make some money. Now, the one thing I hear drives me crazy. People will say, well, how can I make money online with no skills? You could with no skills. You could answer phones. You could answer jobs that you could do with no skills. How about looking at the jobs on there that pay the most and getting those skills? That may be the sensible thing to do. And that's what I tell people. Look at the jobs that are paying a lot of money. Maybe it's programming. Maybe it's coding. Maybe you're good at that. Maybe you enjoy that. I don't enjoy that. But maybe I could help somebody with e-commerce. I'm good at that and I enjoy that. And I can make a lot of money doing that. You can develop those skills. You can put your profile on one of these sites and you can start making money. Now, alternatively to those things, number five is work in another country. Just go to another country and get a job there. You can live in another country and work for a period of time. Now, a lot of people will do this with bartending or waitressing or whatever. But you know what? Maybe there's an accounting firm in Europe that you'd like to work for for a while. There are a lot of opportunities out there. If you're working a job in the U.S. and you just want to go to another country, go to that country and get a job. It's really that simple. A lot of these countries will allow you to do a work-type visa where you're working for a company for a period of time. So that's another alternative for you. Number six is build your own business. And what I mean by that is if you've been doing some freelancing work or you looked at some of the freelancing work that's out there, you'll notice that you're working for businesses. That's why you're working for somebody you're putting descriptions in on their website because they have an e-commerce site. Why not do your own e-commerce site? You know how to do the descriptions, right? You can actually start your own business and run it from anywhere in the world. That's what I do. That's what I do right now is I have a couple of businesses, several of them actually, but I sell online. So it doesn't really matter where I'm at. As long as I have good Internet service, that's a big caveat. I won't get into that now, but it is ridiculous. But they need to have better Internet. But the point is I can work from anywhere as long as I have Internet. And so can you. Number seven is select your first destination. That's what you got to do. You got to pick a destination. Now, there's a lot of factors that go into this. Some of you may be saying, well, I want to live on the cheap. I want to live as inexpensively as possible. Well, you'll want to check out countries that are good for that, that have low cost of living. Some of you may say, no, no, I want certain things. I want fine restaurants and I want nice beaches and I want bars to go to and I want a party. Then, of course, you're going to have to spend a little bit more money. I will put up on the screen. There's no mad list. You can see it on the screen right now. Go to no mad list. There's a lot of suggestions there. But be honest with yourself about what you like and what you don't like. You may get into a country where there's a language barrier and you don't speak the language, and that may be really irritating for you or it may not bother you at all. Or you may want to learn the language. So be honest with yourself and just pick your first destination. Number eight is figure out how you want to live. There's so many options here, guys. Maybe if you want to be by yourself, you want to be private, you may want to get an Airbnb. Maybe you're a social butterfly and you love being around people. You can get a place in a hostel. Those are very, very inexpensive. Maybe you want a hotel where you have access to room service and somebody doing your laundry and cleaning your room. That's also an alternative. So be honest with yourself about what you want and what you're willing to give up because you certainly give up something by being a digital nomad, okay? If nothing else, you give up the fact that you can't come home to the same house every single night for years to come. But if that's not what you want, then you're heading in the right direction, so that's okay too. Just decide how you want to live. Number nine, create a plan and stick with it, okay? Create a plan and stick with it. Decide what you're going to do. Decide how many hours a day and make some time for leisure, sure. But you're going to have to work unless you're independently wealthy, unless you have a good flow of cash flow coming in every month, you're going to have to work. And the best way to get things done is to have a schedule and a routine. I know it sounds boring, but having that schedule and that routine is what's going to keep you on the road and keep you going to all these different countries you want to go to. You've got to work a certain number of hours a day and you know what you're going to have to do with your lifestyle. It may take you a few months to figure it out, but pretty soon you're going to say, hey, I'm going to have to work six hours in the evening because a lot of my clients are in this country and that's when the time works, okay? Or you may say, I'm going to have to work eight or 10 hours a day in my e-commerce business to keep everything rolling the way it should. Whatever it is, pick it and stick with it so that you're successful. And for some final thoughts, just because you haven't done something doesn't mean you can't do something. A lot of times people say, well, I've never done that before. I've never traveled abroad before. I've never made money online before. Or I can't imagine traveling to different countries every few months because I've never done that before. It doesn't matter what you've done before. It doesn't matter what you've done before. It doesn't mean you can't do it. Let me emphasize this. This is easier than you think it is if you're serious about it. If you're serious about it, if you've never talked about it, you'll research it, you'll plan it, you'll put it together, and you'll make it happen. I know you will. If nobody's ever told you that, I'm here to tell you that. You can do it. You can do it. I promise you, you can do it. It's not that hard. And the reason I know it's not that hard is because I see too many people doing it. I see too many people working online on the road. And you know, after the illness that hit the world, there are so many companies now that hire people that can work from home. And some of the big major companies like Apple are hiring people to work from home. Google hires people to work from home. A lot of doctors' offices hire people to work from home. It doesn't really matter where you live to a lot of these people. If you want to stay in the same profession, find a company that will let you work from home. You don't even have to tell them where you live, right? You can still use an address at the U.S. anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter as long as you get your work done. So don't feel like you have to have a business. Don't feel like you have to work for a business. Don't feel like you've got to be a freelancer. You can do any of these things. You can do any combination of these things and actually be a digital no man. I hope this video helped you out. I hope it gave you some insight. If so, give me a thumbs up. Do that for me.
