Dtube Vlog #54

Johnny FD is the host of Travel Like A Boss Podcast and Author of '12 Weeks in Thailand: The Good Life on the Cheap'. We talk about how he got to making $10k per month, selling his first dropshipping store for $60k, the shopify dropshipping method vs the Amazon FBA importing method, his Travel Like a Boss Podcast, and his tips for getting started as a digital nomad.
Johnny's the one who basically got us out to Chiang Mai to join the digital nomad community, therefore changing our lives forever, so this is a special one. Like many of us out here, we first heard about Chiang May by stumbing upon his youtube video 'My $200 Apartment in Chiang Mai', and from there discovered his blog about living cheap in Thailand and making a living online thru dropshipping ecommerce businesses.
Soon after following his blog, he and Anton Kraly of DropshipLifestyle.com announced that they were putting on a Digtial Nomad conference in Chiang Mai in October 2014. This was crucial for us cuz it marked a deadline on our calendar to quit our jobs and make that jump out to Thailand, and the dream of extended world travel.
We met 100 other digital nomads there, some new, some experienced, and we just payed attention to what people were doing, and the rest is history.
I will thank Johnny & Anton forever for putting on the retreat cuz it was the perfect excuse to get out there and make things happen. Now I feel like I'm on vacation everyday: I wake up when I want, eat out 3 meals a day, choose my own working hours, and get to be constantly surrounded by palm trees, exotic cultures, and happy people. Thanks boys😊👍

📝About me: I quit my job in October '14 and moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand (the Digital Nomad capital of the world) with my best friend on a mission to replace our 9-5 incomes online and travel the world.
Well, I'm still here folks and it's amazing.
