- Hey guys, what's up?
This is future me here.
I was getting this video ready for upload
and I felt like I need to come out here
and talk to you and acknowledge
what's going on in the world right now.
We're going through some really crazy times,
and my thoughts are with you
and I truly hope that you and your families
and your loved ones are healthy and safe.
I know it's not easy and, in fact, it's not easy for anyone,
but we will come out on the other end stronger
and closer together even though we have to stay separated
in our own homes for a little while.
The content of the video is still relevant,
probably even more relevant now, even though,
initially, I made it thinking of digital nomads,
and unfortunately now, we can't even travel so,
let alone be digitally location independent.
But now is probably the best time
to look into learning new skills
and brushing up on some that you already have,
so I'll leave the content that I had prepared
so you can watch it.
I try to get things to look a little bit
like what you're gonna see.
I know it's not perfect.
I apologize, I hope it's not very disturbing.
But, yeah, with that being said,
let's get straight into the video.
I'm sending you all my good wishes
and all the positive energy that I can send to you
through the lens of my camera.
I wish you all the best lots of health, stay safe.
And, yeah, let's see each other very soon
without this craziness that's going on right now.
Take care and let's get into the video.

Hey welcome back to SuperHumans,
the place to be if you're looking
to create a fabulous career and master your life.
My name is Laura, if you're new around here,
nice to meet you.
So as I said, in today's video,
I want to talk to you about the five skills
that I think will allow you to earn enough money
in order to have a good living while you travel the world
and enjoy the digital nomad lifestyle.
I'm not gonna talk about how much you can earn
or specific jobs per se.
And if you want to know more about that,
then I'm gonna link up here a video
that I made just a couple of weeks ago
talking specifically about which jobs you should look into.
Today, we're talking about skills.
So what should you be able to do
in order to earn a good living as a digital nomad?
So let's get straight into it.
Skill number one, social media marketing.
This should not come as a surprise whatsoever
because as I've said in my previous videos,
in many of them, and you know
if you just look around yourself,
everyone is on social media.
And I'm not talking about you and your family
having a Facebook group.
I'm talking about every entrepreneur,
every company, big or small,
they have a social media presence.
And not only that, but they need guidance and advice
in order to make sure they leverage
those presences on those platforms,
so that they can drive more leads and have higher sales.
And if you have skills in terms of social media marketing,
then you would be really valuable
and you would bring a lot of added value to these companies.
So, what do I mean by social media marketing?
Well, basically, you need to be able to understand
and advise companies on how to use the algorithm
of each of the different platforms.
So Instagram algorithm
is different to the Facebook algorithm
is different to the Pinterest algorithm
is different to the YouTube algorithm.
So you want to either specialize in one of those algorithms
or understand how they work so you can advise companies
on their presence across different platforms
that they choose to use.
If you add to that, SEO expertise,
so search engine optimization,
then you will be a really valuable asset
for any company to have or to work with.
So, look into SEO, look into understanding the algorithms
of different social media platforms,
and then you should be able to offer
social media marketing services
to different types of customers.
Now, niching down and choosing the type of customers
that you will be advising,
that is a totally different story,
and if you're curious and you want me
to talk more about how to do that,
then I'd be happy to do it in a different video,
but this is not going to be the topic of today's one.
Skill number two, this is writing.
Probably when you were young in school
and your teacher was asking you to write essays,
you didn't think this would come in handy,
but here we are a few years later,
you realize it's actually super helpful.
And if you want to brush up on this type of skill,
then by all means, go ahead and do that.
I talked about where to find platforms
that allow you to learn and develop new skills
in one of my previous videos which I'll link up here.
But coming back to writing, this is such a valuable skill,
not only because it will allow you to be a copywriter,
so you could write content for your customers
for any of their social media platforms
especially now on Instagram,
long form being the preferred type of content,
more and more entrepreneurs or small companies
will want and need support in writing those types of posts.
So if you're a talented writer,
then that's definitely going to come in handy.
Not only that, but you can provide writing services
for websites, you could write webpages,
you could write blog posts, or you could be your own blogger
and work with companies that want to support you
in your journey and offer you affiliate opportunities.
Last but not least, writing would be an amazing skill
to have if you want to publish books.
You can publish or self-publish your own book on Amazon
quite easily nowadays.
So, with that being said,
writing is definitely a super valuable skill
to have nowadays.
Skill number three, foreign languages.
If you master more than one language,
then you are definitely up for a win
because knowing and speaking and being able to write
in multiple languages will allow you
to have a number of different job opportunities
or different options that you could choose from.
You could work as a translator and translate documents
or different types of write-ups for companies
that want to expand into different markets
and need to have content,
not only in English but also in local languages.
Another thing you could do if you master different languages
is being a transcriptionist,
so you could take content that is visual, audio,
and you can transcribe that and then translate it
into one of the other languages that you master,
so then you can offer the already translated transcriptions
to your customer.
Last but not least, if you are able
to speak multiple languages and you really master them,
you can be a tutor and teach kids or even adults,
how to speak and how to be able
to master those languages as well.
So I think that would be a super helpful skill to have.
And if you only speak one language or two,
maybe you want to look into learning more of them.
All right, skill number four,
let's talk about design, because if you have an eye
for design and you're able to bring in different patterns
and use beautiful fonts and you can tell a story
with your designs, then that would help you a lot,
because not only can you do graphic design
so you could help companies who are looking
for design for their social media platforms
for their content, but you could do web design as well
and you can tell a story with your designs
for the customers that are going to visit those websites.
As I said in some of my previous videos,
design is such a great opportunity for you
and you can really make a good living
by being a web designer or a graphic designer.
And with that, you can definitely have the lifestyle
that you want and visit the world and travel
and make a good living at the same time.

about the content that I am bringing to you today.
All right, let's get to skill number five,
and that is coding or really anything
that has to do with technology.
Because nowadays, with the development,
the super rapid development in the technology space,
there is such a high need,
such a high demand for technology-capable individuals,
and it's such a shortage in this space
that you would definitely be able to earn
a really good living and have the flexibility
to work from anywhere in the world really
if you have this type of skills.
So, if you are interested in technology
and you're passionate about it
to a certain extent, at least, please look into it.
There are so many languages that you could specialize in,
pretty much anything that has to do with cloud computing
or anything that has to do with mobile development
that will still be in high demand for years to come.
So definitely look into it.
Technology skills are here to stay.
So if you want to have opportunities
and not have to look for them,
then this is definitely an area for you to look into
because for sure, there's a shortage of capable individuals
that offer high quality technology services nowadays,
so I hope that helps you.
All right, so now you know what I think are the five skills
that will definitely allow you
to have a remote working lifestyle,
travel the world, be a digital nomad
