    I've been living in Chiang Mai for nearly 6 years. I teach at an international school and have also been teaching Chinese students online for 4 years. I was doing VIPKID then switched to my own students when VIPKID stopped. I recently quit teaching online. It's simply not worth the time and effort for 500-800 baht an hour. I'd rather do something else or nothing.

      Agree. If you are going to teach English, do it in a real school. Don't do it through VIPKID or some other stupid thing like that.

    Always interesting to hear what other people are doing. I've being doing well for the last few years as an online music producer but I can't seem to scale it. I'd love to find something else - my current situation only takes up around 10 hours a week - but I just seem to make anything else stick. It's tough out there!

    Thanks for another solid video Brett, you definitely picked on some good options there! I tend to agree that the drop shipping option has largely had its day. Getting in now is tough, the big boys with the big bucks for advertising seem to be dominating it now.
    You're right about not simply chasing the money, but on the other hand, you need to make enough money to live on. A few dollars a month from affiliate marketing, or even drop shipping may not be enough to pay the bills...

    I'm in cybersecurity myself. Would love a video of you and that individual on like a podcast type of video explaining how he's able to work overseas. I'm cyber for a government agency right now so anything overseas is a no go. I would love the insight. I think it would be a great video idea for you to interview people in your class about their life, career, how they got to Thailand and how they are able to keep staying in Thailand. Cheers, man. Another banger video

    High ticket closing is not easy.....at all. It's emotionally exhausting and most people will not buy and so it really really depends on the type of offer that you're selling because most people don't have five to 10 or $20,000 to drop on a product or service and to get them to spend that kind of money on a one call close or two call clothes is very very very difficult. So even though you may make a lot of money when you close when you actually close it's rare. This is coming from 3 years experience as a closer. It's also very stressful because you're completely relying on commissions so you have no stable income which is extremely disconcerting and stressful especially when you're living in another country So on this Brett I totally disagree with you and I think that most people are not cut out for that type of work

    • @lifeofbrian6379
      @lifeofbrian6379 Рік тому

      Absolutely depends on the offer. I’m an appointment setter for our company and our closers are doing really well.
      If you are looking to get into this industry be sure to try your best to find a solid offer with a good team. Easier said than done, but there are some amazing offers out there. But that’s not to say that there’s also tons of shitty ones

    Since some years ago I wan to live as a digital nomad, I'm civil enginner (actually construction enginner) and I have been studying programming by my own, I feel like I know quite about programming but I don't feel ready to get a work yet. Furthermore, I'm not English speaker and it feel harder to become a global citizen without English.
    Sometimes I feel a little sad because achive this had being really hard for me, also sometimes I just want give up, and allow myself be carry into the rat race.

    Brett I tried coding Front End and Python and I am not the left-brained dude. Can a 59 year old learn the more creative marketing side and literally make a living as a digital nomad? No bull?! I am at a point where this is a direction I must go if I know for sure I can make it reasonably quickly (few months). Please advise. Thanks for your wonderful videos!

    • @FirePattaya
      @FirePattaya Рік тому

      You can. But saying you have to get there in a couple of months is not a good start.
      Learning more about what people buy and why they buy will teach you more about how you might fit in.
      Point is, you start with the inputs… money is an output.

    I wanna move somewhere I can get a visa... maybe teach English in person? I have TEFL (but only an associates..) BUT, having an online back-up job seems must... I don't party, I could live on so little.. just, want to get away from Americans :) no offense to any... Midlife crisis? if I could get paid to rant... they'd fire me for over-performing!

    I think there's plenty of teachers they just usually don't think of themselves as nomads and are more in academia rather than business. So for them, there is no point in engaging in "digital nomad" community stuff cause they are teachers and are from a different crowd.

We will go retired to Thailand soon. That why I followed your Chanel. Best wishes Siri and Uwr
