💡Digitalnomade

Ein Digitalnomade ist eine Person, die ortsunabhängig arbeitet, indem sie eine Online-Einkommensquelle hat, und häufig ihren Wohnort wechselt. Laut dem Video ist das Digitalnomadentum ein erstrebenswerter Lebensstil, der einem die Freiheit gibt, von überall auf der Welt aus zu arbeiten und zu reisen.

💡Online-Einkommen

Eine Online-Einkommensquelle, wie z.B. eine Online-Geschäft, Freelancing oder eine Fernanstellung, ist essentiell für den Digitalnomaden-Lebensstil, da sie es erlaubt ortsunabhängig zu arbeiten und Geld zu verdienen.

💡Minimalismus

Da Digitalnomaden häufig reisen und umziehen, ist es ratsam, nur das Nötigste an Besitztümern bei sich zu haben. Deswegen verfolgen viele einen minimalistischen Lebensstil.

💡Community

Laut dem Video und den interviewten Digitalnomaden ist es wichtig, eine Community bzw. ein soziales Netzwerk am jeweiligen Reiseziel aufzubauen, um sich weniger einsam zu fühlen.

💡Fernarbeit

Die Möglichkeit, eine Arbeit aus der Ferne auszuüben, also ohne ins Büro gehen zu müssen, ist die Grundvoraussetzung für das Digitalnomadentum.

Laut dem Video ist es für Digitalnomaden lukrativ, E-Books auf Amazon zu verkaufen, da diese digitale Produkte sind, die man von überall aus vertreiben kann.

💡Visum

Als Digitalnomade muss man sicherstellen, dass man die korrekten Visa-Bestimmungen jedes Reiselandes einhält, um Geldstrafen oder Abschiebung zu vermeiden.

Transcripts

hey guys so in today's video I'll be

teaching you how to become a digital

Nomad I Enlisted the help of some very

successful digital Nomads to help me

figure out what the blueprint is because

if they can do it why shouldn't you be

able to anyways recently I just got back

from a trip to Bali Indonesia and

basically everyone there was a digital

Nomad and that got me thinking this

lifestyle is super cool and more people

should do it I mean it's always been my

personal dream to live in an affordable

country live off of like $20 per day

while of course still living like a king

and making internet money I think a lot

of you watching this video also have

some type of similar inclination my goal

is to sort of encourage you guys give

you guys some resources that might help

you and really push you guys over the

edge so let's started with step one

which is to meet other digital Nomads so

not a lot of people actually start with

this step but I think it's pretty

crucial because if you are going to go

all in on something it really really

helps to meet other people that have

done the same so before you yourself

becoming a digital Nomad you should meet

other people online that are currently

digital Nomads the reason is one they

are going to encourage you to do it two

you'll see actual people doing it and

that's going to make it more of a

reality for you and three you're just

going to learn so much from them now in

terms of where to actually meet people

that are digital Nomads there are a ton

of different ways to actually do this if

you don't want to actually meet someone

one onone you can't absorb a lot of

Knowledge from people that are making

videos on YouTube so for example videos

like this there are tons of other

creators that share their digital

nomading story and yeah maybe start with

that but I really encourage you guys go

and make real connections with digital

Nomads there's so many communities

online I highly recommend checking out a

bunch of different subreddits and yeah

message people don't be afraid to

actually connect with them and talk to

them and you never know you might meet

someone that completely changes the

course of your life yeah let's hear what

actual digital Nomads have to say about

this so first of all can you introduce

yourself and sort of give like a under

30 second intro of like who you are what

you do and where you currently live and

stuff yo what's up I am Paul I am a

korean-american I currently live here in

Bangkok Thailand I was living in the

states pretty much my entire life and I

had grown up in these suburbs moved all

the way to New York New York and I

essentially found myself becoming burnt

out and becoming a kind of stuck in this

like rat race stuck in this like

consumerist materialist uh lifestyle so

I decided to pretty much reject all of

that and move a very Nomad lifestyle

here in Thailand my name is Kristen

Wilson I am the host of traveling with

Kristen on YouTube the host of the

badass digital Nomads podcast and the

author of digital Nomads for dummies I

have been living or traveling abroad or

working remotely since the early 2000s

it's been about 20 years now so I've

been to more than 63 countries now and

I've had a lot of different jobs along

the way from selling real estate to

teaching surf lessons to finally

starting my own relocation company and

now being a content creator before you

actually move how do you meet other

digital Nomads cuz I feel like that's

useful there are a lot of ways to meet

digital Nomads before you move you can

meet them online or in person one of the

best ways is through Facebook groups for

digital Nomads and this can be in the

city that you're living in or the place

that you want to go so in your

destination you can also check apps like

meetup.com to find other like-minded

people in your area who are enthusiastic

about the digital Nomad lifestyle and

there's actually a really cool Forum

called Nomad list where you can connect

with other digital Nomads in cities

around the world so essentially the more

digital Nomads you guys know the more

likely you are to actually become one

step two is to figure out how you're

going to make money now maybe some of

you guys have already figured this out

maybe you already have an online

business or something like that but of

course if you want to sustain your life

you need to have some sort of income

coming in now this does not need to be

your own business there are a lot of

people out there that are know

freelancing there are a lot of people

out there that just have remote jobs so

I think there's only one certain way you

guys can go out there and make money

that's not true there are hundreds even

thousands of ways you guys can make a

living while working from your laptop

what types of businesses work well for

digital Nomads e-commerce recently I

think Airbnb is actually quite a good

one but it might be a little bit more

trickier social media marketing agencies

are also a very good one anything to do

with like freelance work or like content

creation or any kind of Digital Services

or digital products I think those are

excellent so yeah I think those are like

the top ones right now but also you

don't have to be like this entrepreneur

and start your own business you could

also just do like I said freelancing or

just do work from remote there are five

main types of business models that work

really well for digital Nomads the first

one being remote jobs and this is the

largest category for digital Nomad jobs

at the moment so any traditional or

online company that is paying you as a

salaried remote employee that's the

first one then the next one is

freelancing which before the pandemic

was the biggest category of digital

Nomad jobs and this is just being any

sort of independent contractor or

freelancer whatever you want to do that

will work as well as long as you can do

your job from anywhere then there's an

online business category which is is

very broad but it can be anywhere from

owning a store on Etsy to being an

affiliate marketer to being a startup

founder and then there's what people

like we do which is content creation or

being an influencer so you can have a

YouTube channel you can monetize a

podcast or a Blog and this is a type of

income stream that can grow with you and

you can also combine a lot of different

income streams together whether it's

from ad revenue or Affiliates or

sponsorships or things like that uh then

we come to the fifth category which is

being a passive income Nomad or

investment entrepreneur and in this

category we have people who are maybe

doing Airbnb Arbitrage or they have

recurring revenue streams from all sorts

of different Investments and even roving

retirees so people who are retired and

want to be digital Nomads as well and

then there's also this sixth Wild Card

category which is just whatever you want

it to be so any job that you can invent

that you can create if you can pay your

bills by doing it then that can be your

path to becoming a digital Nomad so as

you guys can see there are a lot of

creative ways you guys can earn money

without having to go to a physical

office if you guys have seen any of my

videos you know that I really encourage

people to become entrepreneurs if that's

something that you want to do so while

you can work a remote job for a company

I think eventually everyone should at

least try to start their own business do

freelance and of just be their own boss

that's when you can really have 100%

time and location Freedom by the way if

you guys are watching and you want to

start making money online through a side

hustle I highly recommend checking out

Sophie Howard's Kindle publishing income

which is the sponsor of today's video in

this free webinar Sophie will teach you

everything you need to know to start a

passive income business selling digital

products specifically ebooks on Amazon

and if you guys didn't know ebook sales

have grown by 60% ever since 2020 and

yeah this industry generates billions

every year in sales you don't need a ton

of money to get started there's no need

for inventory since you're selling

eBooks right like it's the perfect

product and you don't even have to be a

writer to have a Kindle publishing

business you can sell no content books

like journals and the great thing is

that once you finish setting up your

Amazon store you only have to spend

about 5 hours per month working on it as

it's mostly automated so if you guys are

interested you can check out the link

below to watch her free trading and now

back to the video so step three is to

pick a place you want to go to every

time I look at a map I literally think

there are so many really cool spots in

the world that I probably will never get

to explore and it kind of makes me sad

and if you're watching this video

anywhere in the world that has a high

cost of living just know that there are

so many places in the world that have a

super low cost of living Kristen and

Paul had some really amazing insights on

where to actually choose to move to

there's so many cool places in the world

to travel and work from what would you

say are some of your top places Bangkok

or anywhere in Thailand really Vietnam

Philippines Indonesia and maybe Colombia

I've always thought that Eastern Europe

was really underrated especially

countries throughout the Balkans you

don't hear much about Serbia Bulgaria is

becoming a popular destination as well

because there is a digital Nomad Hub in

a tiny village called bco yeah just make

sure the hours work make sure it's a

place that you actually want to visit

and you know actually stay in and just

know that you don't have to go to a

really popular digital Nomad place

that's the beauty of it right you guys

can choose literally anywhere in the

world to go to as long as the finances

make sense step four are the logistics

so obviously when you move to a new

country or somewhere across the world

there going to be a lot of logistics

that you guys need to handle and figure

out right like probably right now you

have a ton of stuff in your apartment or

home you'll need to figure out how to

pack it and store it or of course you

can sell it if you want to embrace

minimalism you'll have to figure out

what you want to do with your car how to

get out of your lease for your apartment

or rent out your home whatever it is

your Visa your passport all the legal

stuff health insurance Banking and

really the list goes on yeah since I've

never actually become a digital Nomad

myself I'll let the pros do the talking

when moving across the world there's so

many Logistics what are some Logistics

that people should be aware of do you

have any tips on that I'd say do a lot

of research on the Visa stuff like

that's stuff can be a nightmare if you

get it wrong you can essentially get

like deported you can get fines um you

know if you do it wrong if you work with

the wrong Visa agent it can be a true

nightmare that's what I experienced I

almost got deported cuz I overstayed

another one is like try to live like a

local like don't come here living every

single day as a vacation try to have as

much structure and predictability and uh

you can do that by networking your way

to other expats who also live in that

country and then also trying to befriend

the locals and maybe even pick up the

language relocating has a lot of

different moving Parts but my advice is

always to start really simply and not to

change too much about your lifestyle

your bank accounts things like that your

taxes at the very beginning just really

start with the basics which is having a

place to stay and a way to get there and

then how you're going to do your job

once you get there another thing is to

be careful with traveling too fast at

the beginning that's a mistake that I

see a lot of digital Nomads making where

they just want to see everything and go

everywhere at the same time and they're

changing locations every day or every

week so just remember that you are

working while you're traveling so you're

not just on vacation and if you're

working a full-time job then you might

want to stay in places longer to give

yourself time to go sightseeing and also

have a regular personal life while

you're also traveling around so yeah

hopefully that's not too overwhelming I

know there is a lot to sort of take in

with this there's not that can take all

this on step by step I know that's

always possible to over prepare so step

five is to actually move I know this is

the most scary part it's actually buying

that plane ticket that oneway plane

ticket securing some type of place to

say and actually physically moving you

and your life from wherever you live to

this new spot some of you guys might

want to move somewhere that's pretty

close where you can drive to some of you

guys probably want to move somewhere

completely different that requires like

a 10 to 20 hour plane flight but

wherever you go I think this is the

scariest part because once you actually

move yourself that's a big commitment

you actually took action you have to be

super proud of yourself but after that

you sort of need to figure out you know

your entire life step six is to actually

find your community now obviously I've

never had to do this myself but Paul and

Kristen sure have how do you find your

community once you get into your

destination you should meet people

naturally through daily life but then

you can also go to digital Nomad

oriented events and different

conferences so just search on Google for

events in your area or go to something

like Nomad Cruise which happens at least

once per year and there you can meet 200

to 500 like-minded people either current

or aspiring digital Nomads on one cruise

ship and so you get to travel learn from

workshops and talks and also meet people

at the same time and then another app or

website that I use a lot is called

internations and this is developed for

people who are living outside of their

home countries as expats or immigrants

and I just went to an inter inter

Nations meet up in Manchester in the UK

and I met people from 20 different

countries so don't be afraid to meet the

locals and other local long-term

immigrants or expats as well as digital

Nomads and remote workers overall you

guys I don't want you guys to feel

lonely at wherever place you choose to

move to I really do think that everyone

needs some sort of home base to feel

secure and even if your home base is

still in the US or whatever country you

currently live in it is important to

feel like you have some type a home

based wherever you are living at so your

community your friends having your

family visit you I think this is going

to have a huge impact on how happy you

are as a digital Nomad step seven is to

just enjoy your new life know that

wherever you move to it can be temporary

you don't need to stay there for the

rest of your life if you guys want a

more nomadic lifestyle you can of course

hop from country to Country although I

will say based on what I've heard from

other people if you want to be really

productive and if you actually want to

work on yourself it is going to be

important for you to stay in one spot

longer than you know just a few weeks

when you can actually live like a local

that means you're going to be partying

less going out less and you'll actually

have time to work on yourself or your

business everyone's journey is going to

be different and it's such a personal

choice so really feel it out trust your

instincts and just know that whatever

you do you are in charge of your life

and just the fact that you guys are

taking that leap of faith and moving to

a different country I have so much

respect for that that's something that

I've wanted to do for a long time and

never had the actual opportunity to do

so and so yeah hats off to you guys now

of course I had a bunch of other

questions for Kristen and Paul and so

for the rest of the video I'm going to

spend that actually asking them

questions that I was curious about

what's like your day-to-day life so I

don't have a huge structure it's pretty

much I wake up do intermittent fasting I

might do some workout and then I just

pretty much sit down on the computer for

however long as I feel like it and then

maybe 5 6 hours and then after that I'll

probably just hang out with some my

friends or just hang out with my dog and

um yeah just a pretty chill like

lifestyle yeah so you've met a lot of

other digital Nomads on your Journeys

what are some of the more common jobs

that people have there's a lot of

different digital Nomad jobs jobs out

there but I would say that most of the

people that I meet are working as remote

employees doing something like software

development social media marketing

online sales is a big one I've met sales

people all around the world and a lot of

Freelancers as well so people that are

doing web design any type of consulting

or coaching is a really big one and uh

more recently I've met people that

really don't even have a job title or a

job description they've just learned how

to make money online in a lot of

different ways and they're kind of

piecing those forms of income together

and what made you choose Bangkok I

wanted to go somewhere that was

affordable but still quite modern and

still have like access to like Adventure

and like very International Community so

I feel like Bangkok was the perfect

place cuz it's quite modern it's very

affordable and has some of the best

locals and yeah just has a little bit of

everything how much does your lifestyle

cost the digital Nomad lifestyle can

cost whatever you want it to cost

depending on where you go around the

world you can find a cost of living of

less than $1,000 per month and can I ask

how much money do you spend per month

living in Bangkok I spend about $2,000 a

month can you sort of break down your

expenses like in different categories so

I spent about $600 on rents and

utilities and then probably about $500

on eating out every single day I don't

buy any groceries I don't do any cooking

I pretty much just buy food delivery or

just eating out and then maybe another

500 on going out drinking hanging out

with friends like socializing stuff and

then the other money is just like on

miscellaneous maybe Insurance maybe just

buying something but it's a very like

full access to like a lot of things for

just under $2,000 and I could never

access like any of this kind of stuff

for $2,000 in the states I feel like how

much would a comparable lifestyle be in

let's say Los Angeles man the lifestyle

I live here for $2,000 it'd probably be

about $112,000 in Los Angeles what

percentage of the people that you know

would you say work a normal job just

remotely versus actual entrepreneurs and

business owners maybe about 15% not that

much I say the biggest challenge is that

you have to work like Asia and us there

are completely 12-hour differences so

you're going to have to work during the

night so that is one downside but I

think it's manageable can you tell us a

story about like anything during your

travels that could inspire people to

take action and go and do it yeah I

think the secret to becomeing being a

digital Nomad is that you don't need

permission and that can hold a lot of

people back so when I first moved to

Costa Rica I was 21 or 22 years old I

had a lot of student loans and almost no

savings I think my mom gave me a couple

hundred doar I had a place to stay the

guy I was working with gave me a

four-wheeler to ride around on and I was

good to go and I really just

bootstrapped those first couple of

months hustling working waiting tables

teaching surf lessons and as long as you

can make enough money to cover your cost

of living you can sustain this lifestyle

who do you recommend the digital

nomading lifestyle who should try it I'd

say anybody that's kind of living

financially very well and very secure if

you're making like $10,000 a month I

think you have the ability to just live

a very much higher quality of life

living abroad you know in the states I

don't want to get too political but I

think that the quality of life and what

you can access is a lot limiting than

what you can ACC in these beautiful

countries that have the best locals have

the best culture have the best foods and

it's just a totally different lifestyle

you can experience and it's just a

flight away you know it's not this big

scary thing that you have to have a lot

of Courage for it's like if you're

making enough money and if you make

money online you're in the perfect

position to just pack up your bags and

go ahead and see what it's about and I

know you run some pretty cool businesses

how do you stay productive with all the

cool stuff around you I mean I've lived

here for so long so I don't really live

like here on a vacation mode anymore so

I just have a good balance of like going

out a couple times a week socializing

but most of my time is just spending

focused on myself on my work on my

health and I've built that kind of

routine is there like any last thing you

want to tell the audience so to anybody

who's thinking about it I would say

analyze your life and analyze your

environment and pick out what you don't

like like is there anywhere else that

you could go to where you wouldn't

experience these kinds of obstacles or

these kinds of problems for example if

your rent is extremely expensive say

let's say it's $2,000 a month you can

easily move to some that's like $300 a

month which would be like a nice rooftop

view like you know so that's one example

you could fix another thing would be

like if you're tired of like all the

political division or like tired of

people just hating on each other you

could go to a country like Thailand or

southeast Asia where everybody is just

so kind you know so I'd say like analyze

the parts of your culture your lifestyle

your environment that you do not like

see where else has those things improved

and you know take the courage and do

some research and I say try it out see

anyways I really hope you guys learn a

lot from this video this is a topic that

I'm really really passionate about and

even though I have yet to actually do

the digital nomading lifestyle myself

something that I do want to do sometime

in the future and it's something that I

think so many people strive to do but

don't actually take action on so if this

video gives you like a 5 10% boost in

the possibility that you actually go out

there and become a digital Nomad then it

will all have been worth it yeah really

the whole point of my channel the whole

point of everything that I say is to

help you guys live more non-traditional

lives I don't want you guys to do

something just because everyone else is

doing it I truly think that the best

lives out there are non-traditional

they're different and they're not just

dictated by what society says is normal

or right you don't need to have a 9 of

five you don't need to build a career

you don't need to go to an office 5 days

a week you can be in charge of your time

you can work solely online and you can

go out there and do all this while

exploring the beautiful Earth I know a

lot of you will actually take action

after watching this video and actually

pumps me up a ton I do want to give a

shout out to Kristen and Paul for

hopping on those interviews with me

they're definitely a huge inspiration to

me and I hope you guys learn a lot from

them as well so that about wraps it up
