10 Courses to Get Your Digital Nomad Career Started
Do you want to combine your Buslife passion with a career as a digital nomad? You’ve come to the right place! Our vibrant community is responding positively to recent articles in which we discuss life in a VW Bus while doing remote work:
Well, hold on. I would love to start a digital nomad career, but I don’t have enough experience or background education.
This is a very common first reaction when people start thinking about remote work. While it may be true that you currently do not possess the right degree or experience, the rules of online work versus traditional jobs are entirely different. A whole world can open up once you make your first few steps in the world of freelancing. In this article, we discuss the most important approach to making that transition: Self-education.
Digital Nomad: Stepping Into New Territory
Think of it: The digital age brings about so much change in a short period. What’s hot now, may be out of the picture in a year. Look at how fast phones become outdated. Or think of Instagram, which has taken over the social media space. People who studied online marketing ten years ago did not learn about Instagram. However, there are tons of people earning an income by becoming an Instagram marketer. A common trait among successful digital nomads is their constant hunger for learning, adjusting, and growing through self-education.
If you want to be an independent digital nomad – meaning, travel while working – you need to self-educate!
What do we mean by self-education? Merely to open yourself up to doing some (online) courses to gain mastery over a specific skill set.
