HOW IT IS TO BE A DIGITAL NOMAD | INTRODUCING STEEM IN MALTA | DTUBE TRAVEL WORKSHOP

in #travel6 years ago


Hey there guys,

So get ready for a long one! Almost 1 HOUR! But this is a special video for those who have followed us for a while and would like to better understand our lifestyle, how we can afford to travel continuously and most importantly how do we earn money while travelling. We gave our first ever speech in Malta about - How it is to be a digital nomad, how to make money online and how to get paid for travelling the world (or at least earn money/benefits from that).

It was really cool because the longest part of our workshop/speech was about STEEM, DTube and other STEEM based platforms and majority of people where so excited about crypto based social media platforms.

Down below is the overview of our speech and the topics that we touched and talked about. Of course we left a lot undiscussed and we could talk hours about our life, about how we make money and travels in general.

Let us know what you think and if you have any questions please do let us know.

1.Who we are and what we do?

  • Left Latvia
  • Living in the Netherlands - university and 9-5, working two jobs and traveling every 2-3 months - even for a weekend - gotta get out lol, Guatemala, Peru, Cuba
  • Started to read 4HWW and studying the Amazon FBA method, which we gonna discuss more a bit later

2. How it all started and how important it is to follow your passion! Just do it!

  • Left everything and bought a one way ticket to Thailand - no plan - go with a flow and figure things out while on the road, 8
  • Travelling with broken leg
  • Almost 0 knowledge on how to make money online - but we love hustle and taking risk (be brave) . At the beginning we were miserable, but we met many inspiring people on the road. Its all about community and motivating each other.

3. Ways how to make money while traveling the world (what has worked for us and what has not).

  • Selling on Amazon or opening your own online store
  • Used external softwares to find a potential product - that could generate 1-3k USD a moth (profit)
  • Had to learn everything - export from outside of China and import to USA (establishing business in USA). * Dealing with Chinese manufactures
  • Renting an Airbnb room
  • Creating travel videos YT and shooting photographies IG, developing a brand around your name and becoming a content creator L

  • Freelancing at whatever you are good at and becoming a digital nomad L -graph design, music, web developer, translator, ghost writer

  • Blogging and monetizing your blog with ads/affiliate links. Let me know if you want to hear more

  • Earning on developing cryptocurrency sites like Steemit, Dtube, SteepShot etc.by creating content on whatever topic K

  • Disrupting the known social media

  • No organisation behind it (community driven)

  • Small niche content creators - finding your audience

  • Likes that pay

  • Working short term locally wherever you are, like bartending, waiting tables, reception etc.

4. Ways how to travel almost for free in exchange for amazing experiences

  • Housesitting
  • Workaway
  • Hitchhiking and couchsurfing

5. Do not be scared if you are lost or confused, the right thing will come and it takes time!

  • You have to work if you want this really hard
  • Be consistent and learn as you go
  • Do not be afraid to fail - you learn from your mistakes

6. The bravest step is to pack your bags and go!

  • You will definable find like-minded people on the road
  • What is the worst case scenario - write it down - probably it’s not that bad (for us go back to 9-5 and live in suburbs lol)

7. The next step is to be determined to learn something new!

  • It does not matter that you have a lawyers, financial or medical degree - you can do whatever the f you want
  • Learn a skill or two while travelling
  • We had 0 knowledge on how to do most of the things
  • Maybe you can take what you love and turn it in to your job while travelling

8. Imagine the worst that can happen and take it from there. If you can acknowledge the worst thing (running out of money or not succeeding and going back home) everything else will not bother or worry you!

9. All the questions are welcome, we will share everything! decent time allocated to questions as everyone is interested in something else and wants to hear different things, the best way to learn if from the questions of others.

If you have any questions about the workshop or anything else please let us know in the comments.

Let us know if you liked this video and would love to see more these kind of speeches where we talked about our life!

Love you all!
