From Corporate Employee to Digital Nomad in Under One Year

Welcome to this special series brought to you by my signature course, the Dishing up Digital School; the ultimate course for new and aspiring social media managers who are ready to spread their wings and go out into the exciting world of self-employment and become their own boss. 

 

To celebrate the recent relaunch of this program, I'm sitting down with past students to chat about their experience with the Dishing Up Digital School and life as a social media manager. We will be discussing their learnings, where they are now, how my signature course has benefitted their career, landing clients, and so much more. At the end of March, the course price is going up. So if you have been thinking about joining, now is the time! Believe in yourself to take the leap and start your dream career as a social media manager.

 

Today, I am chatting with a past Dishing Up Digital School student, Esther. Esther and I have similar backstories; we both have a communications degree and aspired to escape the cooperate grind. Esther has leaped into the digital nomad lifestyle and began her self-employment journey in Thailand. In the space of a year, she has built up her business enough to support her lifestyle successfully. In this episode, we unpack her journey up until now! 

 

In this episode, you'll discover…

• Booking clients on the down-low in the beginning 
• Starting with your network
• Experimenting with different industries and niches 
• Balancing travel & work as a digital nomad
• The challenges Esther has faced while building her biz
