How To Work Online - Freelance, Remote Work and Online Business - DATW 039
26/06/2017 Duration: 12minIf you want to know how to become a digital nomad or location independent, I would say there are generally 3 different approaches to working online. How you choose to work online is up to you, but you'll see in the video, my preference is for freelance work. If freelancing isn't for you (why not!?), then you can consider a remote job, a job that lets you work from anywhere as long as you get the work done. Personally, I think being a freelancer digital nomad is a great place to start, but that's just me. Lastly, you can consider any number of online business ideas. This is a topic for a whole video series in itself (and I'll make it...eventually!), but for now I just include my thoughts on online business and how it compares to working remotely and freelancing work.
