Becoming The Wired Nomad

Becoming The Wired Nomad

November 20th, 2009 // 4:02 am @ admin

I decided to start this blog to follow my internet marketing journey, it’s somewhere to clear through the bullshit that you find on so many internet marketing blogs, make myself accountable with earnings and progress reports and share advice on internet marketing with those who share similar goals and motivations.

About Me

I’m 25 and from Australia, last year I took a 3 month sabbatical from my job to travel in Southeast Asia. The day I returned I bought and started reading a book I spotted in the airport the day I left, yes it was the famous 4 Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris. I’d just had the best experience of my life and I come home and read a book telling me I can live that lifestyle full time. It was a recipe that completely changed how I wanted to live my life.

I don’t remember how but I guess while doing some research I came across some sites like Digital Nomads and NuNomad. I knew this would be my future.

My Sites

I’ve been blogging off and on for a few years now. My main site is Voyagner.com, it’s my travel and lifestyle design blog. For now I’m keeping my other sites to myself but it’s no huge secret, they are generally travel related. I’ll likely reveal some later, if you really want to know, well, there are ways.

My Goals

• To be earning $1000 a month by the end of September 2010.
• Move to somewhere in Southeast Asia to start with, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Philippines are top of the list.
• Utilize systems and outsourcing to ensure this requires as little time to maintain as possible.

The ultimate goal is freedom, to travel and live abroad and to get involved in something bigger than just making money and sipping cocktails on the beach, not that I won’t be doing plenty of that too.

My Plan

I’m working on 10 initial sites, some extremely niche, some that can start small but have room for a lot of expansion. Generally initial monetization will be with Adsense but Links and Affiliates will be used in some instances as well. The basics of IM are, well, very basic. To start with…

• 10 Sites with 5 keyword targeted posts on each.
• 5 Articles with backlinks submitted to article directories.
• 1 UAW submission for each site.

I’m a member of TKA and these tasks are the basics of building sites using the method laid out there, once that is done we’ll look at how they perform and do some more advanced monetization and development.

That’s it for now, there will be no posting schedule on this blog, maybe I will start one later on. For now I just hope that those people who know my goals will follow and those who are interested in this concept will as well.
