❤ FAQs:
↣ Are you a full time UA-camr?
I work full time online as a 'Digital Nomad' which means I get to travel the world with my husband and not be tied to living in any specific country. I teach courses on Udemy (check out my profile here - www.udemy.com/u/louisecroft/), and run several companies, plus of course blogging and UA-cam.
↣ When did you start blogging?
I created my blog in 2012 when I was living in America. I was thrifting so much that I wanted to start sharing my outfits online and inspiring other people to look in charity shops. Now it's become all about my Digital Nomad journey and what it's like to be a female nomad.
↣ How can I become a Digital Nomad?

↣ Where's your accent from?
I'm from the South of England but I currently live out of a suitcase traveling all over the world.
↣ Where is your favourite place in the world?
I fell deeply in love with Gili Air when we visited as a paradise getaway, but Chiang Mai is my favourite place to live. Plus of course, there's no place like home (Dorset in England).

I love every bit of information you shared. Thank you for having time to share this.
Love this video, Upwork has been a huge savior for me figuring out how to create a digital nomad lifestyle!
Thanks a lot for this super informative video. I am already on upwork and one year into freelancing (yay!) but I sent it to a friend that has financial problems due to the crisis. I hope it'll help her :))
I loved the video. It was really interesting! I’ve never used Upwork before but it seems there’s some really great opportunities there.
I've been freelancing on UpWork for 2 years and I can definitely say even during the pandemic, there are still good job opportunities out there. Thanks for the interview, it's really great to be connected with other freelancers
Thanks for the extra info! That's really encouraging :) What do you do on Upwork?
@@digitalnomadgirl I'm a digital marketing specialist. I actually checked out your other videos and your experience seems really encouraging
I like your videos because you're speaking all the time. Im here listening to you to improve my listen in english lenguage.
That's great! Keep up the good work :)
@@digitalnomadgirl thanks, I'll be listening to you pretty girl.
Oh, and a question! When I first tried to create a profile on upwork for UX/UI, the platform rejected me because they already had enough of those. Later, I tried again with more of a copywriting profile and was accepted.
So
1. Tip: try different job profiles if you get rejected, you can always change your industry etc. afterwards
But
2. I've never heard of people being rejected due to too high offer for an industry. Do you have tips to avoid that?
My Upwork profile has been mostly dormant recently but I think it's a good idea to grab onto some projects right now just in case. Thanks Louise! x
Yes absolutely! Any extra income or savings are definitely going to come in useful in the coming months. Hope you're well!
Tons of opportunity right now on Upwork! I've had way more invitations the past week as people are quickly pivoting to working online!
After realizing I hadn't been recommended any of your videos in a long time, I searched YT for "digital nomad" (I couldn't remember the exact name of your channel) and scrolled and scrolled. You are no longer being recommended. I found you in my subscriptions but no videos in more than a year!? I see that you had a very cute baby, so congrats, and I see your instagram is more up-to-date but I'm not an IG person and I was really hoping to hear more of your reports here. Have you given up on UA-cam?
I love your speech and lovely smile thanks for everything I want to be a teacher how I do that please give me advices ?
I am your new subscribers 🤩❤❤😍😍⚘⚘
Great !
Thanks!! Have you tried Upwork before?
Digital Nomad Girl no i havent, i have no experience of article writing. Please guide me. I have also emailed you and contacted you on facebook. Started my udemy videos after getting inspiration from you.
Thanks for the clip! If I'm not a US citizen but I freelance for a company based in the US, do I need to pay taxes there and is it vale la pena if it is just a side hustle?
Ooo good question! I am pretty sure your tax status is based on your residency not your employer. So you will owe tax on that income wherever your tax residency is. Side hustle or not - income is taxable. Hope that helps! I'm not an accountant so I suggest you double check too!
what course do you recomend to take to be able to do what you do??
I'm biased because I teach on Udemy but I honestly think Udemy is awesome. For $10 you can learn pretty much anything! Good luck :)
Ooh thať s great and pretty cool im sure that u will blow up ur massive succes
Tell me have u been working on forex or marketing?!
I haven't no! Is that your field?
Mahalo!
I really loved the video! In videos or blogs about this subject it's often mentioned how being a native English speaker is such as huge advantage and how people will want to hire you just because of your background, always makes me feel a little as if I hardly stand a chance because English is not my first language. 😅
:)
Hope you found it useful Robert!
@@digitalnomadgirl always
🥰🥰🥰
Wish That I get hired to one of my proposals in upwork
