How to Find Remote Work and Make Money Online Using the Skills You Already Have

Welcome to this special guest episode of Badass Digital Nomads where I'm interviewed by Matt Bowles of The Maverick Show. I jump on his podcast from my Coronavirus quarantine in Miami to share the mental and emotional techniques I've been using to keep my spirits up and remain productive under the COVID-19 Stay-at-Home Orders.

I give tips on meditation resources, the importance of limiting news and social media, and increasing substantive virtual social connections with people.

Then, talk about the keys to remaining productive while working from home in our new reality and share tips on finding remote work opportunities and standing out when you apply for remote jobs and the best products and software I recommend for remote work.

I also explain how to leverage the network you already have and focus on the skills you already possess.

Kristin also explain how my 6-figure income from my relocation business was abruptly cut off by the global pandemic and explains how I have adjusted my mindset and supplemented my income.

Finally, I talk about the importance for everyone to start building multiple streams of income and then proceed to debunk a bunch of the misnomers about making money online.

In this special episode, I share the key to making money online quickly and explain how to craft an offer that aligns with the unique skills you already possess and focuses on who you can help today.

I then offer listeners a $100 Discount on my new Making Money Online mentorship program—a four-week course which creates a customized path for each individual person to start making online income today, with my personal one-on-one guidance.

I conclude the interview by encouraging everyone to step into their power and seize this moment for personal growth, business growth, supporting each other and affecting positive change in the world.

Join my Make Money Mentorship program here and get $100 off.

Coping with Coronavirus Quarantine - Why Digital Nomads are Better Prepared

Kristin Wilson and Johnny FD discuss why some digital nomads are coping better than brick-and-mortar businesses and traditional employees during the coronavirus quarantine, and how nomads are more mentally, emotionally, and financially resilient during these times.

We discuss:

  • Why daily life hasn't changed much for digital nomads
  • Familiar with uncertainty and discomfort. (also just not having access to certain things)
  • Minimalist lifestyle and low cost-of-living
  • Focus on experiences over consumerism
  • Multiple income streams
  • Growth mindset over fixed mindset
  • Personal identity not tied to a job or company
  • Comfortable using remote collaboration tools
  • Less familial and societal pressures at home
  • Part of a global community
  • At home everywhere in the world

We also discuss why new digital nomads and digital "backpackers" are struggling more than experienced digital nomads and online entrepreneurs.

This is an episode of Travel Like a Boss podcast hosted on Badass Digital Nomads.

RESOURCES:

Disclaimer: We understand that many people are struggling financially and with their health and do not discount the pain many people around the world are feeling right now. However, this episode is for people who are using the pandemic as a reason to let go of their mental and physical health when they could be making a different choice.

Definition of a Digital Nomad: Someone who earns a living online, regardless of his or her physical location. Most digital nomads travel full-time without a home base.
