I asked DIGITAL NOMADS how they MAKE MONEY in Bali 

Fake it till you make it

It's the whole social media business, blind leading the blind, and sellers selling hot air.

BEST COMMENT EVER

A bunch of privileged kids that can wonder the world, free of visas and economic hardships; neocolonialists!

This all does seem pretty silly to me. Who pays for this stuff anyway?

at least they work and you are on RU-vid or watching corn...

@@mrtamago3937 "at least they work and you are on RU-vid or watching corn..." Translated: "At least they do useless things that destroy our planet or scam people and you don´t do anything of that (in short: I only respect money so these fools are my idols)." To be honest I prefer if people do NOTHING because it is damaging the planet much less. Why is everyone so brainwashed that working, no matter what they do, is the BEST THING EVER. So if for a fabric that floats the ocean with toxins, I am a hard working good person because I keep that running? At least they do SOMETHING right? Nobody realise that we need clean air, clean water, nature to survive? So is working against the priciples of nature a super productive cool thing to do compared to do nothing? I have more respect for every person on the planet that does none of that.

@@mrtamago3937 Yeah sure, because you never find time to watch a YT video as a working person, so therefore everyone here is unemployed including you. Impeccable logic.

@@efrainm4649 I'm not going to share personal details on the Internet, but I can tell you that any country with great infrastructure and safety is a far better option than Bali. If you have to go to Bali to feel like your salary is great then maybe you should rethink your career path.

Can you share your experience about Madeira life? 😊 sooo interested

I spent three months in Madeira a few years ago, not long after the "nomad village" opened with the free coworking space. I relate to what you mention. There were basically two tiers of nomads. Those who had legit businesses/jobs and you'd always see them in the PDS coworking/restaurants at lunchtime; and those you'd always see at the social events/Purple Fridays, but were never in the coworking space. The latter people were your breathing technicians/life coaches/yoga instructor or other pretend "job" or "business" that would quickly fall to pieces if you pressed them on what they actually did. Modern day hippies. Another thing I realised is most long term "digital nomads" are trying to escape from something - settling down; lack of friends; insecurities; taxman; hitting middle age and so on.

@@liquid_metal as a portuguese, who also went abroad to 13 countries, I see the same pattern. This is the modern economy of life coaches, content creators and youtubers. As you said 2 tiers of nomads.

I think as an e-commerce owner you can.

Good luck with everything. If you're making money and happen to like one particular area try getting a visa to settle down for a while. Sometimes you end up ruining your perception "home" once you leave and going back doesn't feel the same. @@ryanonline4817

I am perennial remote worker, I try to avoid calling myself a "digital nomad" for the negative connotations it evokes, nicely articulated in your comment. However, as someone who runs a 100% online business, I can move around quite freely with minimal disruption. You just need to be good at, and find a small amount of time in month 1, to plan ahead for the next 3 months. Then get processes in place so you know how to quickly integrate in your new location. It works out fine, however, it is not a sustainable lifestyle. It is mentally and financially exhausting, so you need to be mentally resilient and earn good money. You also need to have a deadline for when you will settle and pick perhaps two countries at most where you will divide your time. That is where moving around more often in the first few years does have benefits: you can find somewhere that provides a balance between work and lifestyle. If it gets too disruptive for work, then you have to slow down how much you are travelling - and the research, planning and actual doing of that is a huge time burn.

​@@ryanonline4817I'm in a similar spot. I work remotely in tech and travel around quite a bit. I'm in Thailand now but I feel a little lost. I'm moving back home to Canada soon. I'm done travelling. I want to go home.

@@ryanonline4817 What did you do that earned 4k for 20 hours per week?

yeah traveling alone can be lonely

bingo. we need to share a beer. i couldnt have said it better. im going back to canada soon.

What do you do

Hang in there. I noticed this too while traveling long term. The infrastructure for tourists is not set up to be involved in community and make meaningful connections. It does something to hurt one's soul, for lack of a better word.

I understand your struggle... I've been through so much I'm really looking fwd to disappearing awhile, visiting "home" and family then continue traveling and building myself, finances, adventures and healing !

i was naive to accept flashy things...but yeah things happen just like the comments...which people dont wanna show

It's just a school for over-grown, work-shy children

Sadly lots of desperate or naive teens sign up for these and pay

if you create a problem, you sell a solution. kind of like those dating coaches that lie about themselves but exploit others to buy their dating courses.

An entire generation of Americans were raised under the self esteem religion.

everything is becoming digital. selling a course will become the new norm for a side hustle. there's nothing wrong with it. just know what you're buying and whether it's worth it to pay for the value you're getting.

It's all lies. They live off inheritance and their parents money.

This is very true! A lot of people downplay the role of a financial planner until burnt by their mistakes. After my last job layoff, I had to stay afloat, hence researched for licensed fiduciary advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge and experience. My reserve fund of $225k has yielded nearly $1.3 million after subsequent investments so far.

I’ve shuffled through a few financial experts in the past but settled with Mr. CHRIS RYAN STEWART.

His strategy is recession proof, more specifically profit-oriented and most likely you’ll find his basic information on the net. He’s a very well known advisor.

I’ve heard quite a great deal about this portfolio manager. Chris Ryan Stewart is making quite the wave in the current financial space.

I’m very well inclined. I have turned over more than $250k investing with him on a wide array of options and finally sticking to a few that have been favorable in the past 2 years.

They just stay for several weeks/months and leave. More like working tourists. I have no idea if that is legal or not.

@@CivicHatch13 i don't think that's legal, but since they're working online it may be hard for the govs to find out or there's just no specific regulation for it

They are fugitives running away from going to jail in their home country.

100. Too many people (myself included) see these videos and think they can just find a way to make it work. Those guys in the video who just quit their jobs and went to Bali before making an income, will most likely be going back home broke in a year.

Exactly, and if you are into the whole other way around at least do your homework and save up a big amount of money in your traditional job before you quit and jet off across the world.

Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial advisor who works with a verified finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.

That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better financial community, a verified organization where I learned how investing works and how to invest proficiently, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made..

Yeah for real, John Desmond Heppolette, is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience..

That's great, your financial advisor must be really good, I have seen testimonies of people using the help of financial advisors in making them more financially stable. I just discovered his exceptional resume when I made a Googled search of his names online. I consider it a blessing that I discover this comment area!

I’m impressed by John Desmond Heppolette, professionalism and expertise in financial planning. He took the time to understand my financial goals and provided personalized recommendations that have proven to be successful, with his guide I make monthly returns from investing in assets and mutual funds..

You can do it, just have to make the choice! ( and have a financial buffer).

ok but what are you gonna do now?

Your the Truth. Most of these folks are dreaming.

We never would have guessed 😲

Wao

Thats awsome I hope they do, Bali should not be treated as a spectacle. its an actual place with a real culture, these people dont care at all about that

I agree with most of what you've said. I've been nomadic for 9 years now. I'm a freelancer in the design/branding field. I've met literally 1000s of people in these past 9 years from all parts. Like you said, most are just on vacation, hoping that they could live this life, but in the end, like you said for 95% of people it's not sustainable. I've also worked remotely my entire adult life, so for me, working remotely from my apt in montreal to an apt or Hostel in Cairo or Austria or Mexico doesn't change all that much. And like you I love this life and can't imagine any other, but there are tons of compromises for sure. I've been lucky to have relationships that do matter, that last years not months or weeks, but I don't see family all that often, sometimes even going a couple years without seeing any of them. But we're in touch constantly. Just our family dynamic. What I will say, is during these 9 years, I have had periods where I am by the pool working, headphones on, zoning people out and staying focused on what I needed to do. I've also had periods where I sorta lose track of what's important and make stupid mistakes. But all in all, I'm pretty disciplined so I've learned from my mistakes, and have managed to make this a sustainable lifestyle. Also like you, my entire life is in my 2 backpacks, one on my back, one on my front. And it's everything I need and nothing more. This isn't for most people, BUT you'll never find out if it's for you unless you're one of those people in the video... just starting out. Some are definitely full of shit, others are wishcasting, and maybe 5% have found something important enough to them to make it work and are neither lying nor exaggerating. I was one of those people once too (without some of the douchiness, I hope.)

Nothing new , let’s see some bankstaments lol

@@deechicago25 Yeah, a million dollarrs a month staying at a 20.00 hostil. I'm haitian and I can tell you no haitian would stay at a hostel if they have money. They like to show off. Alhtough very unlikely, he could sale a milion dollar gross and receive 1000.00 per month.. He could be selling one million gross revenure. Interesting concept but, something does not make sense.

@@beatricerightsAs a Haitian, agree with you

It sounded like he worked with a company as he mentioned there was a team on slack. So I reckon he mentioned he was working with a team/company that did 1million in revenue that month and not himself personally……

I can't confirm his income hahaha but It's crazy nowadays the ways you can make money online and sometimes you can make very good money. As I said, I cannot confirm his words but it could definitely be possible.

@@travelwithrafa Yep 100% possible, i'm in a pretty lucky position that I work with digital nomads advising them on tax/finances etc - I wouldn't have believed it till they showed me their accounts. Some of the guys in Bali are making WAY more than $10k a month, lets put it that way lol. People are still quite naive to how much cash is flowing online these days

If it was true he would have given his website link but it is most likely a lie

Could also be a half truth/white lie. Could be making 10k a month in sales but spending 7k on advertising and expenses.

The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.

The stock market rally run is gone, but I'm not sure if equities will swiftly recover, keep falling, or fluctuate in a narrow range for a few weeks, or if things will quickly get worse. I'm under pressure to increase my $300k reserve.

​@@pierrelouis6841the market is profiting if you are using a good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals

You’re right but a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance

Not because of ignorance, it’s because of the high rate of unprofessionalism in the cypto market

not if they play their cards right

A lot of them in Bali hope for another "crisis" like the one 2020-2022. Immigration will be forced to give them visa-free residency in Indonesia (coz that's what happened for even people on tourist visas and all those immigration officers were forced to suck it up and serve these unwanted visitors for free on orders from the WHO. So who really ran Indonesia...?) and the demand for online services will spike like a protein out of control....

Exactly!!

you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.

I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.

yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an ex pert can lead to a great loss too

exactly! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn

Hello nice idea here, please what exactly kind of investment are you talking about here, I'm really interested too

Ive seen coaches that are coaching.... coaches! 🤣🤣@@Its2025

I was surprised at the honesty about not making any income yet.

Hey thank you for sharing! I understand it seems that way and I can't confirm any of these people's speeches so you could be right! But in my case and in my boyfriend's case (we are both digital nomads) we do make money online and are able to sustain ourselves and save money -- we don't make 10k tho hahaha hopefully one day. I like to keep it transparent here but it is also important to remember that online ways to make money can make legit income, not doing weird things but simply as being a freelancer and finding clients online. Before becoming a digital nomad I used to work in a 9-5 traditional accounting job and I used to think exactly like you. These digital nomads all are trust fund kids and not knowing how it works. I am not saying no digital nomads are trust fund, but as in any other sector/carreer you will find them, and you will have a portion of digital nomads. My point is: there are absolutely legit ways to make money online not in the traditional ways that we need to be aware! Even you could start a side job online and start making money, so don't deny the possibilty too much, try to learn and use to your advantage :)

Especially that group of guys, so so obvious lol

@@travelwithrafa I think it's not really about whether or not making money online is 'legit' or 'possible. I make money completely remotely too and it pays well. But the difference is that a lot of these 'rich kids' that come from Western countries and middle or upper class families have the LUXURY to fail multiple times. This means they can fuck around and invest a lot of time and money into trying out different streams of income. This is a luxury simply the majority of people can't afford. Even for my case, it took me 6+ months to set up my own freelance remote job. That was my entire life-savings, 6 months of rent and a HUGE risk. But I was lucky to have succeeded on the first try.

Coming from being a builder, electrician to vallet, yeah that does sounds like their parents are doing everything for them! the amount of jealously that internet trolls have for those who can make it online, live in a paradise and for much cheaper is insane. I come from a very modest family in Brazil and have lived in the UK for the past 13 years building myself up from the ground. I'm now ready to make the jump to the digital nomad life and I will for sure be joining these communities in the near future!

Especially the real young guy says he's a lifestyle coach, lololol

Yeah or you make a decent 200k/yr or more and benefit from nice weather, low costs and low tax. Making next to nothing sucks cause eventually you need to get back into the real world with real costs unless you want to raise your family in a 3rd world country

From what I know you have to live 6 months in your country of employment for the income taxes. And EU has GDPR laws that don't allow me to just work from any other continent. But yeah, moving to any other low expense town/country would probably be somewhat the same as these guys. Although we don't see how much is the hostel per day and how many other people live with you in the same room... I'd definitely hate the noise.

Yes I would like to do it for 6-8 weeks in Jan/Feb

Menurut aku, mereka berbohong ttg pendapatannya. Banyak komen sebut "mereka dapat duit dari Daddy... " Bisa jadi, sih.

These nomads would not survive in their own country with their current income. That's why the go to cheaper countries to survive
