Becoming a digital nomad

>>1487604
>Anyone have experience with being a digital nomad?
Not yet (:

I think you've covered the basics of online income generation, saying them is pretty easy, actually putting them into practice is another thing entirely.

50k is a pretty lofty goal from purely online (passive?) income generation.

>>1487604
>I plan on starting with affiliate marketing
kill yourself

>>1487614
>50k is a pretty lofty goal from purely online (passive?) income generation.
I'd ideally like to build up a combination of the two.
I'm just starting with affiliate marketing since I liked the guide and to get my foot in door.
I don't see it as an end-all be-all solution for infinite passive NEET bux.

Pretty sure that e-commerce or freelancing are going to be the big dogs in active income generation.

>>1487604
Once you grow up and realize this passive bullshit is a meme, try getting into IT. As a contractor you can do a lot of work remotely and the pay is excellent.

>>1487626
>Once you grow up and realize this passive bullshit is a meme
I've already said that.

The fact that you're in university, paying for an education, yet you aspire to set up some cheesy as fuck affiliate website to earn a living shows how fucking retarded and immature you are.

Explain why you're going to uni when it has no relevance to your 'career goal' - humour me

For a serious answer, it depends where you intend on travelling. You will run into roadblocks in some places where they don't allow short-term rentals - some agree to 4 months minimum but often put a premium on the price (i.e +$200 extra per month)

If you globe-hope frequently, you'll also struggle with transport if you don't have good public transport or similar

If by 'nomad' you mean going around USA or something, then to fund rental homes/apartments and a car and other expenses you might aim for about $2500-$3000pm as a conservative estimate. That's about what I pay, but I also have a wife and child and need to stay in locations with good schools which attracts a premium.

>>1487639
>Explain why you're going to uni when it has no relevance to your 'career goal' - humour me
To be quite honest, my father projects his failed aspirations onto me.
I originally wanted to go into trades, but I'd be disowned if not a lawyer/engineer/doctor.
I'm miserable as an engineering student and would prefer to study just about anything else at this point.
But I make good grades and have a partial scholarship + good financial aid for it.
So its "financially sensible" for me to suck it up and deal with it. What's wrong with having a side hustle anyway?

>you'll also struggle with transport if you don't have good public transport
I'm from Texas so public transport is near non-existent. What should I read up on?

>I also have a wife and child
I'd like to plan on doing my initial traveling abroad and solo dolo. Do you know what a decent estimate for like backpacking in the UK single?

>>1487645
How did you get started in your endeavor?
Are you using the SAAS model for your software? Or is a one time purchase?
How many other income streams act as a buffer to that income range? Or is it all from software?
What do you do for your active portion of income?
How many hours do you have to work in order to maintain your set up?
What kind of gear do you take with you when you travel?
How long have you been location independent?
What major road blocks did you face in achieving this goal?

>>1487604
Just write code. I did this for awhile and it was awesome. I'm about to do it again. :^)

>>1487724
As a freelancer?
Or to create your own project?
What languages do you code in?
What languages would you recommend?

>>1487645
How do you do it?

>>1487616
Why? affiliate marketing is free money, you'd be retarded not to incorporate it into most things online somehow

>>1487724

Why did you stop in the first place?

>>1487690
I left for Europe and Canada as a single man with about $25,000 in the bank and came back 18 months later with about $15,000 - 2 months of that was free accommodation in France due to a friends dad owning a place, 4 months was renting through Craigslist for $400pm (couldn't fucking believe how cheap it was - all utilities and net included) and the rest was backpacker hostels and scrubby shit like that. I walked everywhere. If it was too far, I took a bus.

I only got stranded once and quite literally went to a local village pub and asked the bartender (who spoke broken English) who I met the night before if he could ask anyone if they were heading into a bigger town and they worked something out for me.

I'd suggest budgeting at least $2,000 so you're not forced to cut your trip short due to being broke - better over-prepared than under-prepared

I passed up a few good opportunities because I was too worried about running out of cash early on. Including 200 euro for a hot lap around Bologna in a Lamborghini with Valentino Balboni... but at least I met him... and Horacio Pagani...

Don't pass that up

>>1487645
You basically have licensed out a software solution right? Is it just one piece of software or is your income made from sources?
Is there ongoing client liaison or support?
Do you have employees doing that shit for you?

How did you find your clients? How many businesses or induviduals licence from you?

Alright, where's all my drop shipping boys at?
>that feel when found a wide open market for a great niche

well boys I have a problem. I only have about $300 to use for drop shipping (to buy products, I got fees covered.)
Shopify payments takes 3 days for payments to be deposited. What am I supposed to do when I'm out of money? Just wait the 3 days to get my payments or hope to God they use PayPal and I just use that to make the orders?
gimme some of that financial wisdom biz

>>1488098
Can you block shopify payments? I would do that.

>>1488109
Yeah, you can. But I can only receive credit card payments with that.
People can't use PayPal to use their credit card, can they?

>>1488113
yeah you can link paypal to a credit card

I didn't realize there was another way to even use paypal

>>1488120
I'll just have to use PayPal for a while then. I hope I don't have too many sales turned away just because it's gonna be PayPal only for a while. But I'm assuming that most people who shop online use PayPal regardless, I hope

>>1487604
Drop shipping for sure and you could live off much less than 50k usd depending. 50k sd a year in thailand is like playboy money - clubbing all the time , that sort of thing.

If you just want to play vidya you could do it for a tenth of that

I'm a freelancer/digital nomad.

I do copywriting for clients and make ~$4000/month with a 20hr work week.

That leaves me with enough time to travel and have my laptop as a personal ATM that spits out money when I need it.

The main thing is having a valuable skill that will always bring you money no matter what shitty situation you're in.

If I'd be dropped into an unfamiliar city with nothing but a laptop and internet - I could get paid the same day and survive.

I post pretty frequently in threads like this so this might sound repetitive to some, but as always, I'm here to help anons who are in a place I was 4 years ago...

...frustrated from living off of my parents and never having any job, possessions or money to call my own.

>>1488214
how did you get your client base and what kind of shit do you write?

Anybody working here as freelance translators? Is it easy to make ends meet?

>>1488214
How do you find gigs? Or more importantly, at first how did you find gigs?
Does most of your income come from repeat customers?
Do you need to keep marketing yourself or soliciting business?

Aside from having at least copacetic writing skills are there any other skills or areas of expertise that are a necessity?

Just change to a PayPal business account then you can accept card payments through it without the people using it having an account. Think it's called PayPal checkout or something along those lines. You can host it in-house, post (web) request to PayPal manually or have them run the checkout and link your users to it.

Have used it in the past, they take a small percentage of each payment though. Another alternative is Stripe payments, have used both with no hassle in UK although I'm not sure what it's like over in the states.

When I first started back in the Elance/Odesk days I just underbid others and basically worked for pennies just to get testimonials.

Now that I'm here I probably wouldn't do it the same way.

Here's my 4-step plan on getting your first clients:

1. Read, watch and consume as much as you can about your niche. Take notes on everything and save them.

2. Find places where people from your niche gather (Facebook groups, forums)

3. Use your notes and consistently create valuable content (quick tip videos, posts) that doesn't promote you in any way. Focus on putting out value.

4. After some time people will start seeing you somewhat as a professional who knows their shit. People will engage with you in conversations and you only need to post that you're looking for a job. After that you will literally have to pick out of several proposals.

That's it, really.

Some people are not so extroverted and uploading videos of themselves and creating posts seems stupid.

I used to laugh at those guys who post motivational tips and shit every day. Then I saw they had 10k followers and crazy demand.


I have several long-term clients who pay me on a weekly basis and I also get 10% off of sales that happen thanks to my copy.

I'm still active and always looking for new clients and opportunities as I'm also building my own business and brand. Copywriting skills are invaluable when going solo.


Copywriting is salesmanship in print. Writing skills are second to selling/marketing skills.

Interesting fact: I wrote pic related.

>>1488049
just make sure you dont make too much money otherwise disney will come for their share of the profits, which is all of the profits since they own the characters.

I have a 100k+ sub youtube channel, making about 300 bucks a month, it's all the money I make since im a NEET with high school ed only

the source of traffic is not from US so im making way less that I could be making

I plan on somehow in the future trying to get US traffic into my videos

I also make some money with crypto

The problem is as soon as I start making more money im going to get raped by taxes

I live with parents but its still better than wagecucking and lossing hair over the stress of commuting

>>1487626
im making money from videos I uploaded a year ago so lol at u

>>1488355
People dont give a fuck about some guy posting on forums or in facebook groups. I dont really get your point and how you create a portfolio of work so people want you to write shit.

>>1488404
also having to make videos showing your face/voice is cringe as fuck. Im lucky to make videos where I dont do any of that. Also putting your face picture on those freelance jobs next to payeets is so damn cringe.

>>1488406
He makes $4k a month working 20 hours a week travelling...and you make $300 a month living with your parents, and you're calling him cringey?

>>1488404
>>1488406

You're not my target audience.

I put out the videos/posts that give value and spark conversations. I'm always visible and active in the community.

If a potential client (someone who has a business) happens to need good copy and happens to be part of the same community, guess what?

I'm the first guy he thinks about.

I'm one whole step ahead of anyone else he might contact. That's the whole purpose of this.

If you're the first guy someone thinks about when hiring - you got the job 9 times out of 10.


As for the cringe, yeah I used to think that way too.
Everyone had cringe content when they started, but doing it consistently is what allowed them to grow.

Check the first vids of every Youtuber and see how far they've come from being consistent.

If you find something that works for you by being incognito - that's great.

I'm taking the path of full exposure and I'm fine with my face and personality being behind my product.

>>1488412
yes, putting your voice and image into what you are doing feels cringe as fuck to me

also I still fail to see why anyone would pay you shit just because you post in some forums

>>1487604
I posted here about doing mobile adult affiliate marketing but it seemed no one was interested. Currently pulling in ~$300-$400 profit daily from just that.

>>1488449
My first video has more than a million views

i upload unfrequently because my videos take more time to create than just sitting there and talking some bullshit, unfortunately

>I'm taking the path of full exposure and I'm fine with my face and personality being behind my product.

i can't do that, its too cringe to talk while your mom is hearing what you say, maybe if I lived alone

but anyway I have a problem using my image to sell shit, its like a nightmare, like an out of body experience, like a become a breathing meme to sell a product, no longer human

>>1488458

Paid traffic? Or what's the model?

>>1488449
>If a potential client (someone who has a business) happens to need good copy and happens to be part of the same community, guess what?
what do you mean by "community"

you post in forums and facebook all the time with your website on your signature or something like that?

why not tell the niche you are at? who cares

i just fail to see how this does get started and you get fame

in my case i got fame because i used keywords that were searched a lot and did quality content for it, and the audience is massive

but in a more niche and small audience i dont know how i would do it, i dont even know how to set a website

>>1488470

90% of people doing copy writing online are in the make money online niche and/or weight loss.

>>1488473
yeah, thats the ones I was thinking about... i mean what else it can be? it starts getting really niche-ish and small audience outside of those

>>1487604
Well, I do 24.000€ on the side with only search engine Evaluation shit (appen, leapforce, lionbridge, isoftstone) but I still go to University.
I should just travel and do that shit lol

>>1488470

I'm never talking about bullshit, I read extensively, do research and create short summaries of valuable things.
That mainly covers persuasion tactics, story-telling, buyer psychology, etc.

By community I mean the Facebook group community, or forum community (e.g. "The Cult of Copy" close to 20k members).

The thing I perhaps failed to mention (which is obvious) is that when you actually do get a job you have to overdeliver and do a good fuckin' job.

If you feel you won't be able to do that, instead of posting that you're looking to get paid, say you're looking for a mentor to show you how things work on the inside.

The first two steps stay the same.

Also, I can write in several different niches. Those would be music, self-help, dating, men's health, make-money-online.

>>1488463
That's correct, display and ppv ads

>>1488498

Any tips or links to your last thread? Very interested. Tried breaking into paid traffic a number of times but never had success.

>>1488505
Basically get a tracker like voluum or thrive, signup to a few affiliate networks, signup to a popup ad network like popads.net and just start promoting direct link offers. Optimise them based on what's giving conversions and go from there. After pops move on to display. Also check out forums like affiliatefix and stackthatmoney

>>1488508

What's good for display? I have cpvlab still, should be fine I think. Do you do all dl? Or use landers?

>>1488355
That's a surprisingly straightforward strategy.
I've actually been thinking very seriously about doing this, but I'm not sure which niche to choose. (Do I pick something related to my dream career, or something which is more of a cashcow...?)

>I used to laugh at those guys who post motivational tips and shit every day. Then I saw they had 10k followers and crazy demand.
Am even been considering BECOMING one of those guys.

This is basically a "personal branding" exercise yeah?
Be seen as an expert in your field by writing with authority, get paid to write about it. That is more or less what you're saying?

Any concepts or books you recommend I get familiar with?
I mean writing is writing, and I think I'm very adaptable to different styles of writing -- but is there anything specific to copy and copywriting you recommend?

Or even examples of great copy?

>>1488458
If you don't mind my asking, what's your platform? Like what's your first point of engagement?

>>1488525

This guy gets it.

Personal branding would be the tag I'd put on this strategy.

The first thing you should do is give yourself a basic education in valid advertising principles. To begin with, read everything listed below:

"Brilliance Breakthrough"
-by Eugene M. Schwartz

"Scientific Advertising"
-by Claude Hopkins

"The Robert Collier Letter Book"
-by Robert Collier

"Tested Advertising Methods"
-by John Caples

"How To Write A Good Advertisement"
-by Vic Schwab

"The Gary Halbert Letter" (all back issues)
-by Gary Halbert

"The Boron Letters"
-by Gary Halbert

"The Lazy Man's Way to Riches"
-by Joe Karbo

"Break-Through Advertising"
-by Eugene M. Schwartz

"7-Steps To Freedom"
-by Ben Suarez

Just listen to audio books of these on 1.5x speed following the text and stop to take notes where it gets interesting.

You'll find plenty examples in these books. You'll also find good stuff on Swiped.co but first I'd suggest reading the books so you know what you're looking at.

All my class mates are trying to be wagecucks for 180k to fuel their drug habits that will allow them to work the 70 hour weeks. They will all be fired in 2 years anyway

Any ideas to find a niche where I won't slave my life away?

I am thinking of taking every tax class my last year and moving to a tropical or European tax haven. Have international experience

I would give up everything for a passive income like the one you're chasing, just to be able to freely roam wherever I please

but the most interesting thing is not being accountable to anyone else. Feel like calling someone on their bullshit ? you can freely do it without feering any repercussions that might permanently fuck your career up.

You are lying like a motherfucker or are way too depressive to be a lawyer full time, you will break the first time you need to represent a guilty man and get him to go free.

If you aren't lying you need to check your head and stop being a bitch, you have a legitimate chance to be someone rich and powerful still. You need to keep yourself talking to big 4 law firms, informational interviews, market yourself, sell yourself, you might at least get into a boutique firm of 20 lawyers and if you can succeed there you could be awesome.

70 hours a week sounds bad but look - you could be a unemployed debt ridden son of a bitch and your friends will all be pulling 100k+ and driving in badass cars and you'll be flipping burgers after getting beaten half to death by your insane father for "dropping out and seeing the worrrrrlddd maaaaaaan"

Sorry, I guess I am just pissed because I am unemployed myself for 1.5 years now and do a lot of career research and know how much debt law students get into and how much money/prestige a Top 5 law school gives a person, don't want to see you go hippie and ruin your life.

>>1488642
> you will break the first time you need to represent a guilty man and get him to go free.
do you honestly believe that the people working biglaw pulling 180k+ on their first year will ever see a judge, yet alone a court room ?
you're literally a scribe for the first 2 years , reviewing paperwork and slaving away for partners who get all the credit

>>1488642

The firm did not represent guilty people, just corporations. It marketed itself as a full service law firm that did IPOs and securities work. They were pushing me into litigation, and I wanted transactional work.

Did good work, have several references but 3L hiring sucks. Applying for judicial clerkships and shit

>>1488646
Yep, trash work and then they fire you after year 2 to get another law student that costs them $40k less a year

At least I have the resume line now

>>1488656
how do you plan on going into "international" tax law ?
it's something that has always interested me but I'm unsure about the path to get me there. Tbh it seems like you need connections in those tax heavens (Liechtenstein, Panama, BVI, etc.) otherwise I dont see how you can break through
not to mention there are some big players out there (Wolters Kluwer ...)

>>1488494
I still don't get one builds a portfolio talking about a variety of thing while not being an expert in any of them.

Do clients browse those forums? Everytime I visited forums like blackhatworld, warrior etc, it's just a bunch of payeets and randoms trying to sell their shitty premium crap into each other.

Can you expand on that in terms of a nomad like OP is talking about?

Are you recommending it for US citizens looking for tax advice out-of-country, non-residents looking for US tax advice, or just generally giving tax advice online/mobile?

>>1488945

non-residents looking for US tax advice. Or US companies operating outside the country who want to re-patriot profits

>>1488335
Sounds good. I'll look into it.

Do I need any kind of license to dropship? I'm running a sole proprietor business, so I'm not sure. Google just leads me in legal loop holes and information I cannot comprehend at all

>>1489137
i feel your pain anon

at least you engineers and doctors have a higher chance to find a job than me
the legal market is so saturated each day that passes by makes me regret a little bit not having chosen a different path (was supposed to do aero engineering but changed my mind at the last minute)

>>1488940
I have already started, I'm somewhat confident that I found a niche that could be profitable.
It also helps that I speak 3 languages, so my idea is to find niches that are saturated in English but not in the other 2 languages. so far it's going well and each day that passes by I educate myself a little bit more on SEO and online marketing.

maybe one day , anon , we will wake up whenever we feel like waking up just to check our account balance and collect our shekels
that would be the life

>>1489301
>(was supposed to do aero engineering but changed my mind at the last minute)
I have a bunch of friends that did aerospace engineering and they say what you say wishing they hadn't done it and it would be easier in civil or whatever it's called. Grass is always greener etc.

>>1489316
I'm in one of the top3 cities in the world for aero so I don't think this would have been an issue if oyu're talking about job prospects

in term of difficulty, yeah i've heard that aero is amongst the toughest engineering disciplines

>>1489316
and btw it's not civil but mechanical

>>1489296
No

>>1489322
I dunno they're in Toronto/Montreal so they've got Bombardier and Bell here, as well as a few landing gear companies and stuff. One of them went to Seattle for Boeing and is now somewhere in Florida doing some space shit, but the rest of them are pretty miserable working for Bombardier and companies like that because the general atmosphere and job security just sucks from what I hear.

Pretty common in aviation in general though.

>>1489358
yeah im in MTL too , I know very well what you're talking about

However if you're from the top aero program
(aerospace engineering at Polytechnique Montréal) you're almost guarenteed a top tier job because they only take 60 students a year and it's extremely hard to get in (they take the 60 highest cote R appliants)

>>1489242

>>1489768
I'm a dev (12 years exp) and i'll tell you 100% that for the right scope i'll crank out an app for $1k.

The problem is complexity - those agencies quoting you $20k have 4 of me working on it plus UI/UX/design guys, and they're expecting something wildly complicated (which, to their credit, they're probably right - IDEA GUYS have no idea whats easy and what isn't)

French is infinitely harder to learn than english, especially in written form. That's why im confident my project will eventually work if I keep pumping out quality content

It's actually surprising how much motivation I have for this .
I find myself waking up early in the morning with the drive of working towards realizing my project, which is something I've never felt in my life.

I have a full-time job and a pregnant girlfriend. I freelance as a web developer in an awesome niche, and also do content production and online marketing management.

I just recently got to the point where my freelancing could provide enough income for me to travel the world, but I fucked that up by getting my girlfriend pregnant.

NO:
- games
- saturated/lots of competition for category and/or keywords
- implication of app being entirely "free" to use (basically avoid any type of app that would attract people who don't spend money)

YES:
- can I limit functionality to 1-3 screens to keep cost down and make 1st version simple/cheap to test market?
- are there opportunities to monetize the users further than just in app ads or purchases (lead generation, etc.)
- what does my gut feel about this?

>>1491317

Does this include the "free-mium" model?

online marketer reporting in

the answer to your question(s) depends on the type of lifestyle you want to live while doing this. if you're interested in footing it everywhere and basically camping out across the world then you need very little.

but before we get to that point - you're asking "how to make money online" like everyone else always does on this forum.

Before you even consider trying to do this you will need to have your finance generation in order. with that said "online marketing" in all fields is not something you just walk into and start making a full time salary on. it is NOT get rich quick bullshit. you will need to devote time, effort, and finances into your operations in order to learn and build up.

Once you've gotten the hang of it and can generate enough funds regularly, then you can work on bringing this dream to fruition.

>>1491309
dude, get a job in house somewhere. Freelance on the side.

>>1491752
to expand further:

asking "what method is the best earner" is a noobie question asked by idiots that dont understand things yet (sorry)

what works for me does not work for you, what works for you inevitably wouldn't work for me more than likely. "Online marketing" is a blanket term that covers literally thousands if not millions of methods to generate income digitally.

Though there are only a handful of "styles" of online marketing (for example, "selling phsical products online" covers amazon, craigslist, ebayers, and people selling via their own websites), there is an infinant amount of specific methods therein, and people are constantly figuring out new ways to attack any single style.

We IMers work hard reading, learning, and creating methods that work for us. Everyone has their own methods and details that they have refined through trial and error, and no one is going to hand you thier proven functional method on a silver platter.

With that said, every "style" is highly profitable when done right, it's up to you as an individual to discover what styles best suit you and learn it enough to the point that you start creating your own methods and piecing the puzzle together.

obviously, the only rule you need to adhere to when chosing methods is "no physical products" since you'll be traveling.

>>1491752
>the answer to your question(s) depends on the type of lifestyle you want to live
True. I haven't even thought about this to be honest. But I still don't entirely know what a nomadic life entails of.
Do you travel with your work? If so, care to share what its like?

>you're asking "how to make money online" like everyone else always does on this forum.
I listed several of the ones that I found. I was looking for validation.
What's wrong with asking experience from people that have done it before?
At least I'm not one of those "How to get $1 million by the end of the week. I only have $2 to start."
This goal is significantly more realistic.

>"online marketing" in all fields is not something you just walk into and start making a full time salary on.
I already addressed this here >>1487624
I plan on starting on Affiliate marketing just to try it out (and Papa Anons guide only has a $15 upfront cost to get started, so its low risk)
then hopefully move on to drop shipping, e-commerce, or freelancing afterwards

>>1491763
>asking "what method is the best earner"
When did I say that?
I said:
>Which online model would be best suited to BUILD UP to 50k annually?
Read: Which online model would be best suited to SCALE?
>inb4 "scale = earnings"

>We IMers work hard reading, learning, and creating methods that work for us
Any recommended reading?

>no one is going to hand you their proven functional method on a silver platter
I never asked them to. (When will this meme die?)

>the only rule you need to adhere to when choosing methods is "no physical products" since you'll be traveling.
Why not? Couldn't I still do drop shipping or an e-commerce platform where I rely on a third-party fulfillment center?

Also, how much did you make starting out

>>1491812
>What's wrong with asking experience from people that have done it before?

I didn't mean that as an insult, the point was this is essentially the same question asked daily, ie "how can i make money online", only with a slight spin to the dream result.

>Read: Which online model would be best suited to SCALE?
it's the same question. Every method can be scaled into a full fledged income operation, like i said earlier it just depends on your specific take on the style.

>Any recommended reading?
My personal suggestion would be to browse through various SEO forums (I recommend blackhatworld) to get your mental feet wet. Spend a month or two reading the various types of internet marketing (affiliate sales, CPC, CPA, CPI, adsense, ebaying, website flipping, etc etc. the list goes on) and seeing what information people exchange about their specific ventures. though any step by step guides or information given in discussion is not goign to be your golden goose as no one is going to reveal their big money earners. People will reveal the minimum required to get the answers theyre looking for in a discussion, and/or will share minor methods that can make money but arent "super secret golden goose" in order to give back to the community. much like what im doign right now with you. After a month or two of reading and absorbing various bits of information, you should have a fairly coherent idea of how things work and have a rough outline of how youd like to tackle the venture. at that point start drafting up a plan of attack (literally write it out) and begin implimenting the first steps.

This is the key point - ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. most Imers fail before they even start becuase they get trapped reading and never just say "Fuck it lets see what happens". people are scared to fail. you WILL fail. imers become "good" because they fail until they succeed.

cant i dropship?

going to regurgitate advice i've given over n over in /biz/ since i started coming here a few months ago:

1. for anyone just starting out, i would recommend to NEVER outsource a single step in your business. This allows you to fully grasp and comprehend the logistics for every piece of the puzzle, and thus you will never be stuck under someones thumb. A key element to controling a business long term is being able to bend and adjust as times change. No company will open today and run in the exact same way 5 years from now, that's just not how it works. SOMETHING changes.

2. most newbie imers get lured into these chinese "buy wholesale we'll even ship it to your customers" dropshipping services and get fucked. these companies WILL get you banned. experienced imers A. know better and dont deal with them, or B. use burner accounts that they know will get banned due to shitty service, late shipments, lost/damaged/wrong orders, etc. i highly recommend you do NOT use any type of chinese wholesell dropshipping service.

3. the only dropshipping service i would recommend you DO use, would be US based (if youre in the US that is) companies that specialize in and ONLY do dropshipping. A true logistics company with a good reputation.

how to do you get the traffic to begin with?

i have a 150k sub youtuber channel but most of the audience is mexican/spanish/argentina etc kids so I doubt a single one is going to buy shit

i once put a g2a affiliate link on the youtube channel and no one ever bought shit

How do you marketingfags write about shit you don't even care about?

I tried my hand at this last year, writing articles as a freelancer for low rates, but it was just miserable. Pretending to care about something and trying to convince others to care about it felt doubly fake and uncomfortable.

I have a decent job now, but I always wonder if I pursued this if I'd have gotten over the feeling of shame and general grossness I got from pushing something I don't even care about. I kind of feel like I just had the wrong mindset (I was depressed).

It goes beyond the moral aspect though, I find it legitimately hard to spend time on things I don't give a shit about. Marketing, the theories behind it, and the money all sound fun and rewarding, but researching baby bottles for a week and A/B testing two different essays on the benefits of Artisanal Tibetan Rubber Nipples just feels phony and gross. Hard to put enthusiasm and quality into that part. Do you actually enjoy it?

My question, /biz/. Residency is one part of whether a given nation's government can charge you tax, most you need to reside there 3 months of the year (some need 6 months) before they charge you tax. So here is my question. If I earn through online work from a US company and am a US citizen, but spend only 2 months in each country I go to before I move on (thus not triggering residency), can I pay zero income tax? I know the US charges a global income tax but the code also says if you spend less than 3 months in the US you don't meet the residency requirement.

Another thing is I'm a pretty decent drawfag and could probably get commissions, maybe make $20 a day like that. But I'd have to haul extra gear with me (small drawing tablet, paper, notebooks, pens/pencils.) Maybe an extra 5 lbs. Not sure if it would be worth it. I also writefag which doesn't require extra gear, but novels are pretty oversaturated so sales would be difficult. Does /biz/ think multiple income sources are better even if none are passive?

I spent a while in a cheap country while working online and I guess what I experienced is what you would call a digital nomad lifestyle.

I concluded a few things:

1. It's possible, but only practical if you get your cost of living down enough and your income up enough, which basically means travelling and living in 3rd world shit-holes on someones sofa or hostels and eating like a dog most of the time.

2. There are no jobs where this lifestyle is an advantage, you're always going to be making less than you could be if you were living securely and cheaply.

3. If you're young, live in a shitty country or area, don't mind working like a dog and are very intelligent it's feasible but still probably not the best option. In all other circumstances it's a magical fantasy that people with no world and job experience like to think about.

285KB, 1280x853px

To add to above, I simply coded websites and backends for a living, but some practical and feasible real world examples that I know of or have experienced include:

>Digital photography-
A common tactic is to take photos on commission, usually touristy areas with lots of travelling. You need to spend a lot on your gear and to secure your gear but the money is there if you're high up in the field.

>Holiday review-
Do review & analysis for travel companies, tourist boards etc, travel on commission.

Freelance jobs are too competitive and have way too low margins for them to be practical with this lifestyle but there are one or two digital streams you can make enough money from while travelling.

>>1492982

>Do review & analysis for travel companies, tourist boards etc, travel on commission.

In 2012 I took my laptop on the road and went travelling through SE Asia while making enough $ to travel

Ask me anything intelligent, mai neega

What did you work on?
Would you mind breaking down travel expenses for the area you were in?
What do you feel is the most difficult thing about working while traveling?
Are co-working spaces in SEA decent?

>>1493772


>What did you work on?
Started a business selling video games on ebay in 2009, got the stock into a 3pl (3rd party logistics) facility in 2012 and ran it from overseas for 6 months

>Would you mind breaking down travel expenses for the area you were in?
SE Asia is overall very cheap. Some countries are cheaper than others but the cheaper you go the worse the internet will be. I was staying in decent hotels/guest houses and eating "street food" (which is better than it sounds), going out drinking a couple of nights a week and paying about $100USD a week


>What do you feel is the most difficult thing about working while traveling?
Broadband isn't as fast or stable as I was used to (not a big issue)
If you want to go "off the grid" (e.g. go on a motorcycle tour or something) then your income stops
>Are co-working spaces in SEA decent?
I didn't really use any co-working spaces, just the free wifi in my hotel/guesthouse/hostel
I guess you could look up some places like Cyberjaya in Malaysia if you were keen

IMer reporting back in

when I first started, the very first stuff I did to try and make money online was article writing. Eventaully i started looking into offering writing services because writing came easily to me since I was a child

i realized quickly exactly like you said, to write about stuff you don't care about is torture.

with that said, now that I am a seasoned Imer a simple rule i always follow in all my ventures, is I only do stuff that I have some form of interest in. I refuse to try and monetize a subject or niche that bores me, because your productivity swiftly becomes zero.

>>1493267
>How do you tolerate browsing /biz/?
at least /biz/ is fun and i've made over 10k with crypto so i made more than reading about payeets new premium views pack or some method that is banned/useless

A few people have mentioned translation here, how does that work? I am native English and currently beginner level at French. If I were to keep learning and get decent at French would I be able to monetize this somehow? I imagine there wouldn't be big money in it but I'd be interested to see how much. I'd also be open to learning any other language if there were opportunities in it.

>affiliate links are banned in YouTube as far as i know
I don't know if its banned or not but there are a few ways around it.
Most commonly you can make a word press blog and cloak your affiliate links with the pretty link plugin.
Then add the cloaked link to your description instead.

Wasn't there a previous thread about this a couple weeks ago?

I'm a digital nomad. Right now, I'm currently back at home but I'm about to venture out again. It's pretty tits.

I'm a programmer that works remotely. Can't beat this life.

I'm interested in something like this. Wondering if upwork is a legit site to find some first gigs?

Guys will this thread be deleted when its pushed out of the board? Or will it be archived? There's a lot of good info here I'd like to still have access to in the future.

>>1497763

That's bullshit I see affiliate links from the big youtubers all the time.

How the heck do I get paid writing articles? I see that a lot in here, and sincerely that'd be a nice thing to get paid to do. I still have no idea how to.

k.
I just gave an idea based on my understanding.
I don't use JewTube for affiliate purposes.

but here is your (You)

>>1497827
There are tons of site to do this.
Some sites have paid article writing.
But the sites I see most commonly recommended are upwork/odesk/elance/freelancer.
I don't personally have experience with this but good luck with it Anon :)

>>1497815
Big youtubers can do whatever the fuck they want. They have special contracts. Try to run adsense on a site like perezhilton, see how it goes. You will get banned in minutes, meanwhile he makes money all day everyday.
Life is indeed a scam.

i havent seen the video yet and i bet its a guy selling me something

anyway i'll look into it later

>>1498619
Nah, he goes into pulling people away from YouTube to watch your videos on your own site.
Using a subscription paywall in order to make money (Assuming your videos are teaching a skill or something).

>>1497763
>>1497804
I don't know.
You could always just take a bunch a screen shots to be safe.

Here's a video tut on how to setup a basic woocomerce store:

>>1498656
my videos are entertainment for basically kids (even tho some adults see it too) so I doubt they will pay for my shit. going premium can give you a lot of hate, just look at all the dislikes of pay-per-view movies in youtube, so im not sure it's a good idea. you have to think about those things too. I have around 200k subs, maybe if I had like 4 fucking millions or something i could be able to pull it off.

Thanks, anon!

devilish

I've been programming since I was a kid and recently I've been studying computer science, algorithms, datastructures type textbooks and would like to develop my skills to become a online freelancer. I'd like to do Not pajeet tier programming but stuff that will require actual in depth computer science knowledge. But I'm not sure how to go about freelancing in such a niche, it seems most of the online freelancer stuff is focused on programming that doesnt really require indepth computer science or math knowledge. How could I go about getting into freelancing in such a specific niche?

>>1503177
It's a hard job to break into, you basically need to know someone who wants that kind of work or get a referral from someone you've done basic bitch stuff for.

>>1503193
Sofar what I've thinking might be a workable strategy would be something similar to this >>1488355 where I would find forums/mailing-lists/etc online where computer science people are (this will probably be a open source community or hackernews) and over time establish a good reputation, assuming that a subset of those people are themselves overloaded with work and would contract me if they trusted me.

>>1503209
It seems like a bit of a crap shot to me, good project managers are more likely to outsource to India or Russia because they'll work for $10 an hour.

>>1503211
if the rate for someone who really knows computer science stuff like data structures, algorithms, discrete math, etc is $10/hr then what is the rate for the lower tier programmers who dont really know any CS and they just sort of bang away at code until they finally get it to sort of work but it's riddled with all kinds of problems? is it $1/hr?

>>1503234
You're thinking about it wrong, the value isn't derived from what you know or don't know, it's derived from what someone is willing to pay.

>>1503241
What I'm thinking is like I said I've been programming since I was young but I didnt know the CS concepts in depth I would just hack away a the code until it works but that fly by the seat of your pants approach doesnt scale to highly complex software especially when you get into highly indepth CS stuff like big data, recommender systems, similarity searches, support vector machines, datamining, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, artificial neural networks, domain specific language and compiler design, etc, etc. Surely this is more valuable than simple CeateReadUpdateDelete applications?

>>1503252
How much money is that stuff actually worth?

If you want to make money you don't need to know any of that stuff, knowing how to use an API connection and scrape a site is for most people more practical and valuable than "artificial neural networks".

>>1494009
But 99.9% of these products are shit. I can't imagine a competent marketer operates successfully with such a massive filter. You must allow yourself to push at least some bullshit.

I always hated niche research. I get paralyzed trying to settle on one.

>>1491317
do you program yourself or outsource?

>>1503252
Only legit companies really have these kinds of problems, and they hire employees full-time to work on them. You're not gonna get intellectually stimulating work as a freelancer

>>1505071

Outsource

Well dropshipping from chinas dead anyway

They already go direcrly through ebay , theyll be shipping goods for FBA within a year or two and no one wants to wait 2 weeks to get anything

You gotta brand it and tweak it a bit and then do fulfillment warehouses

>>1506916

>How did you get your video game stock on a regular basis?
Imported from a overseas wholesaler, purchased in bulk

>How much were you making per week?
$300 to $700 USD, more than enough to live well in SE Asia
