The biggest thing you could do is to constantly skill up, specialize in a channel/niche, and don't be afraid to charge double what you think would be acceptable.

I've been doing this since 2012 and can't tell you how many times I've low-balled a potential client. Figuring out your pricing is key.

If you'd like real advice (not AI answers) from someone with 12 years of experience living the freelancer dream (think 4-hour workweek stuff) as a digital marketer, don't hesitate to book a call.

It would depend on your skillset. What are you good at?

Making money at business is the same for everyone:
1) Identify what skills you could monetize. If you do not have skills then you need to invest either a) time, b) money, or c) both into acquiring said skills.
2) Find a market for your skills.
3) Convince them to trust in you.

Of course this is best suited to freelancers and consultants.

If you want to sell a product then the process is much the same. You still require the right skills in order to make your digital storefront a same. The only difference is now you are trying to convince someone to purchase a product rather than your own skills (you are not the 'product' anymore)

There are not easy paths to earning money online (or elsewhere) -- put in the work and get the rewards.

There's nothing out there that will allow you to consistently make money you can live off of without some kind of expertise.

We're all knowledge workers to greater or lesser extents. We all trade in knowledge of some kind. Even someone who sells a product has to acquire knowledge in order to sell the product successfully -- money is the reward for the fruit of one's knowledge.

I urge you to try to acquire some kind of skill which you can then sell and make a living off of. Find the person who will pay you for your skill and live your dream.

Not many details to go off of. Are you looking to land a remote job for a company? Are you looking to become a freelancer/consultant? Do you want to sell a product?

Depending on your answer I would then have follow up questions. Let's say you wanted to start off as a freelancer/consultant. I would then ask:

1) What are your skills?
2) Who is in the market for your skills?
3) Why are they looking to hire someone with your skillset? 4) How can you reach them? How can you convince them?

The answers to those four questions would then start you on your path.

What's the additional cost to you for using a decanter versus a bottle?

It's essential to weigh the cost implications of both options. Decanters will provide a more luxurious and premium feel, which can enhance the perceived value of your cognac and potentially justify a higher price point. However, they tend to be more expensive to produce and may require more intricate packaging and shipping considerations.

On the other hand, bottles are generally more cost-effective and easier to handle in terms of production and logistics.

It's difficult to give you a more precise answer without knowing more about your cognac brand and its positioning. Furthermore, you should look at the competitive landscape and see what the market is doing. Always zig when the competitive is zagging -- stand out from the crowd and turn whichever option you're going with into a strength.

I'd focus on LinkedIn outreach and cold emailing. Additionally, building a partner program and trying to leverage existing networks which have access to your ICP's data might work. Are there agencies you could partner with? Does a rev share or white label service make sense?

Basically, I'd try to pursue these things concurrently. Partnerships in order to build revenue now while you look after clients on your own through outreach.

I'd check out UpWork. Just be very clear about your requirements and make them use a time tracker if possible. Ensure that they are communicating effectively and that you have full visibility on the work and where they are spending their time/effort.

Also, you might want to get someone who audits their code or does QA. That was my mistake when I tried launching my own photo app in 2016. The thing ended up being riddled with bugs!

That would depend on the nature of the work.

I'd ensure that I fully understand what is required of me and that I communicate effectively. There should be no doubt about how you are contributing to the project.

It's also easy to get distracted so there's software that could help you stay on track (timetracker, distraction blocking software, etc)

Beyond that, make sure you're comfortable and invest in ergonomics and a productive workspace. I neglected that part of working online for far too long and while you can get away with it in your early 20s it's better to invest in your surroundings.

Message me if you want more specifics. Beyond being a digital marketer, I'm also a productivity consultant and would be happy to help.

I feel that Spain and Thailand should be cheaper than what you've projected. Feel free to contact me as I live near Spain and can give you more specifics on cost of life, etc. Additionally, my parents were looking at moving to Valencia during retirement so I have quite a lot of knowledge as to how much it'd cost vs where I'm from (Miami)

I started my career 12 years ago as an organic social media marketer. It was easier to generate sales then than it is now due to how social media platforms have artificially reduced reach and engagement in order to nudge you toward their paid ad platforms.

About halfway through my journey as a marketer I decided to try to stop against the tide and embrace it.

If you want to generate sales on social media, paid advertisement is the way to go. Look at it this way: as a business person you have two major resources 1) Time 2) Money. You can either utilize your time (and a bit of money) and engender quite a bit of risk (and potentially lose your most valuable resource -- time!)

OR you could utilize money and just a bit of time in order to start advertising and lower your overall risk.

I know which one I'd choose.

If you'd like to discuss advertising on social media a bit more, don't hesitate to reach out. This is my passion and I'd love to share what I've learned.
