First digital, then nomadic

For the past two years, Jason Fieber has been living in the center of the digital nomad universe – Chiang Mai, Thailand.

As such, he’s met many an aspiring digital nomad, and reckons the failure rate is massive:

The failure rate among all of the digital nomads I’ve personally met has gotta be way over 90%. Maybe even closer to 99%. I mean that in terms of them going back home and returning to job XYZ.

His explanation for that:

Going from $0 to $1,000 per month online is tough. Giving yourself every possible advantage makes perfect sense to me.

But the constant bouncing around – i.e., being nomadic – is totally counterproductive to this.

Making money online is challenging. Traveling constantly is also challenging. Doing these two challenging things at the same time is a terrible idea.
