Financial Case Study: Johnny FD, Dropshipping, Publishing, Affiliate Marketing
Submitted by Wanderlust AndiSo, you say you would love to travel - but feel that you need to make money first so you can retire and THEN travel? Let Johnny FD be an inspiration for you then since, for the last 9 years, he has been making $15-$20,000 monthly with a variety of location independent online businesses while traveling through a wide variety of countries.
- He started in 2008 as a scuba instructor in Thailand.
- He then started websites in Kindle publishing and moved on to drop-shipping, training, and podcast websites. He is currently making his money with affiliate websites.
- When he is developing sites, he will work for 40-50 hours per week. Once a site is going, he will work 4-5 hours a week. In his words, this "allows you to create new streams of income by working hard for just a set period of time while you build, then automate."
- As for his digital nomad life, he has found that it works better to visit countries for 3 months or more, rather than jumping from place to place every few weeks or so.
And - his thoughts on the benefits of being a digital nomad with a location independent business: "It allows me the free time and freedom to be able to openly share and help inspire others to do the same."
