What I Wish I Knew About Working Online

When I first got to Thailand back in 2015, I had almost no money and no real concrete way to make any.

There are so many things that I should have done before I decided to live out here.

However, I had nobody to advise me or give me direction at the time.

In this video, I discuss what I wish I had known before moving to Thailand and what I should have done before I started working online.

01:25 - Focus on One Single Business Idea
03:50 - Have a Concrete Execution Plan
06:10 - How Much Money Do You Need to Bootstrap for a Year in Thailand
09:45 - Conclusion (Summary)

Concise clear and interesting. Well done Brett. You channel is extremely watchable.

What I don't understand is why don't unfinanced expats start their online business back home first? Then when you see some financial progress now is the time to relocate.

Hello Brett, Thank you for making this content.. I have plan next three years moving to Thailand

[Jeffshighonlife]

I am 41 and planning my first extended solo trip to Thailand. I know it's a little old to start traveling but I'm so excited to start. This video was really helpful

Great vlog Brett, the only question I’m pondering is where in the Kingdom to make my base camp, especially at the moment with the crazy world we are currently experiencing. Trying to find the balance at the moment will be my first goal. Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang mai or Khon Kaen are my choice’s.
Hope all is well in Chiangmai for you.
Cheers
Frank 😊

Thanks for the info Brett. Currently learning about online marketing, (expat of 7 years, living in Batumi, Georgia).

Great insight bro. Thanks for sharing.

Completely agree, I used to try a bunch of stuff like dropshipping, social media marketing, cold calling etc. I would never get that good at it, the best I had was dropshipping on ebay which was doing 3k-4k a month.

Now I literally only focus on 1 business model and happy to say I am doing 6 figures net per year. Finally can leave the cold and head out to thailand.

Thanks for some of the most informative videos about living in Thailand on YouTube.

Good to see you back! What would you say are the pros & cons of teaching English online from Thailand, utilizing existing agencies?
Frugally is definitely a word…not a fun one but a word nonetheless lol. Thanks for keeping it real….

[Phucket]

Honest excellent advice thank you Far too many people exaggerating in Thailand about the true cost of living

[clivekingshott]

Great vlog mate, I remember one of your old videos where you talked about asking any employer to let you work remotely? I think during this pandemic some industries have realised that allowing workers to work from home saves money! So maybe consider if your current work can be moved online?? Keep ‘em coming mate!

How about making a success of your plan online in the UK or wherever so you know exactly
what your doing and then have a plan for Thailand will look the logical thing to me!!

Hi Brett, I am using this year to to save money and start my path to become a digital Nomad. I have plan to come to Thailand in January 2023 but I am confused as to what Visa I should go for. Can you talk about what visa you use or you rather not talk about it ?

[shannonsx]

Hi Brett, thanx for the video. How much money a year do you advise for a freelancer who already has regular incomes and wanna live in Thailand for long term ?

[MegaMerlin]

Yep that's what I'm going through.

[aussieinvestor]

Do you put a set amount aside each month for retirement/savings? Do you invest yourself in shares/property/crypto or other?

[jnsa]

Where you live looks peaceful outside...is it a home apt or condo? How common is it to find a place to live similar to where you are?

[DavidBrown-uqdl]

I don't know if you've done this I'm new to your YouTube channel but have you done a breakdown of the true cost of living in Thailand let's say for a year the Visa process that you have to go through leaving the country and coming back into the country and having that part of the real cost of living in Thailand. Also are drones allowed in the countryside of Thailand thank you
