It is not that difficult to move to Thailand or to any other Asian countries and start build up your business. You can come here as a teacher. All you need is a diploma in any field and a good English knowledge. You can get a job if your English is not excellent and also if you don’t have any teaching course or experience. Come over for a holiday when the semester ends because that is the time when many schools are looking for teachers, You can send in your application online to as many schools as you can a couple of weeks before leaving so if you have a call you can go to the interview. You can walk in as well and see what they say. You have nothing to lose. You already have a nice holiday and maybe a job too. This way you have the visa, you have income that covers not only your cost of living but you have some extra money that you can use to explore Thailand or any other Asian countries . You have a lot of breaks during the semester so you can go to different cities for a few days to feel the vibe. In the evenings and weekends ( and school breaks) you can work on building up your online business, and meet other digital nomads,. This way you are in Asia, have a feeling what it is like to live here, You have the possibility to explore different cities, and you are actually working on building up your online business. All this without risking you becoming homeless. You just have to change the mindset that it is not possible for me and it is only a future goal that is so distant that I will never come to live it. Make the first step without crazy moves that jeopardizes your safety.

To teach English you don’t need to know everything, You only need to be one step in front of the students - Before the lesson review the target language you will teach , Over time you will master teaching grammar and anything else, Look at the teaching resources for guidance if your using a book There normally a student book and a teachers book , also the students book has guidance at the back

Skills

Upskilling; Which 'remote' skillsets are most in-demand?

Hi guys. I am considering applying for work as a UI designer, or UX designer. I applied for some of these jobs in the past, but I didn't get any joy. I recall being being tripped up in an interview with some nuanced tech questions to do with @media break points (min-width vs max-width) and page loading speed. I can work with HMTL and CSS. My weakness is Javascript, but I will learn it, IF... it's worth the time investment. Before I start upskilling, going on potentially expensive Front End Engineer training courses, I wanted to test the water to see if freelancers/workers with this skillset are already oversaturated. I was going to just ask about UI/UX design opportunities... but i think it would be more helpful to ask a much broader question... to work out which 'remote work' skills are the most 'IN DEMAND'. Please can you complete the Poll below? ... Thank you :)

Online teaching.....not again!!! PLEASE!

Just thought I share my some private bookings that start this weekend. After contacting some old schools and colleagues back in Guiyang, I have added 5 students to my private work list. A group of 5 students wanting 2 hours of teaching in a group setting. My charge for this is £55 ($70) per hour. I have made a schedule for the rest of my free time, on a Saturday and Sunday (5 hours per day) and once this is filled up with groups I am earning more than the university is paying me! Its started and I am well ahead of the deadline I set earlier this year, and after lots of procrastination and over planning, over thinking, over talking, it is now happening! .......If I can do it, I know you all can!
