      Teaching English online! Been nomadic with it since quitting my 11 hour "real" job in thailand., just need my portable wifi box to stay connected for a few hours a day. Hoping to expand onto multiple income streams soon. Back in the UK for Xmas with the family, but working in the mornings only has been amazing.

    When you talked about teaching a skill you already have (and thinking "I don't have any skills to teach") one good thing to add is that you can teach English online. You don't need any certs and most of your students will already have a grasp of the English language, they usually just want to have a conversation with you and you correct them along the way. This helped me make ends meet for a good 5 months while transitioning jobs in China. Seriously, this video is fantastic.

    25 mins of retention time added lol. It seems like a dream job or at least for some of us trynna make it a dream job but it is A LOT of work. Capturing all those timelapses, carrying pounds of gear on a scooter, through a jungle trek, at a beach then being scared to leave it by the ocean because someone might take it so finally you don't end up going in the water, watching a beautiful sunset but in reality you're actually recording it more than you watch it, then you gotta get the drone shot, then the 120fps b roll of the sunset, then you gotta add instagram stories then when you're done the sun has set lol and time to get that back pack on and ride that scooter home, transfer the files, recharge all the gear, then go edit and release that video to only get a few views on it. It takes a lot of work, and a mentality to not give up, 100 hour work weeks but in the end I rather be doing this than go back home being a waiter at the cheesecake factory. I started this journey 9 months ago and couldn't be happier, a lot of inspiration came from you. I will add if anyone reads this short essay and is thinking about doing it be prepared to work full time + overtime and maybe not see any money in the beginning, but if you're strong minded and know it is something you want and don;t have a quitters mentality then go for it, worst case scenario if you don't make it you will have a collection awesome videos with tons of memories and a ton of video knowledge you'll learn along the way to help you out in the future.

    I think the most important part was the first thing you said... You Will Need to Work Very Hard.... We do have a decent following ourselves and it does help pay the bills for sure. But it will take time to develop a large enough audience to bring in a significant amount of income, it is not an overnight thing (this is for anyone looking to do this for a living, don't quite your day job at the beginning). On a side note Your cinematography is always well done by the way. Nice work as always.

    I've been traveling for about 12 years. I don't have a channel.. but I've been into marketing online the whole time.
    To those looking for ways to fund your travels.. I'd suggest looking up a program called "Laptop Earnings".
    That'll show you quick online hustles you can use to cover costs while you gradually build your channel up and work on your editing etc.
    It's probably the best all encompassing course I've come across.. very straight to the point.

    Hey Christian,
    My name is Claudiu and i'm in my last year of highschool. Since last year, everyone around me has been putting pressure on my studies, how I need to have good grades and go to a good university. But after many hours of thoughts and processing, I've come to realize that my dream is to become a traveller and share my experiences with the world. It's something that I am passionate about, I absolutely love editing pictures and videos and even tho my community is really small, I sometimes get people telling me how they like my few montages and I can't express how happy I am when I hear those things. I've been following you since you had around 70k subs on TH-cam and oh man have you been growing, you are the one person that makes me believe and remember that my dream is not impossible to achieve.
    I wanted to thank you for all the tips and amazing videos you have been giving to your community.
    Also, I am really lost right now as time flies by and I have to make a decision on what to do with my life (uni or travel).
    Help me guys !

California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana, Nebraska etc. You can turn any place into an adventure. "Adventure is all around you , you just have to find it". There's alot of clips I could have gotten and shots I wish I would have taken with the camera I already owned. You can do this, just find new places, take your equipment with you and run with the material you can capture.

    Ten minutes in, and no mention of your gal pal. She featured in your thumbnail, she's the slow-mo eye candy in your vids, and you clearly understand that she is a major contributor to your online traffic for those very reasons. If we see two channels like yours, one with hot girl in bikini and one without, where are we more likely to navigate? Not acknowledging her impact on your views, and therefore your revenue stream, is disingenuous.

He sets out the many ways in which he has carved out a niche for himself, set himself apart from others and applied clever strategies which have led to a successful career in this field. What he hasn't done - at any point in this video - is acknowledge the fact that his cute, bikini-clad girlfriend provides him with web traffic that he otherwise wouldn't have. And he knows this to be true, because he puts her in his thumbnails, and she features in numerous slow-motion glamour shots throughout the videos themselves.
