information gap
I shared milk tea drinks and lunch with my friends
My friend was shocked to see the price. He bought a cup of lemon tea for 9 yuan, but I bought lemon tea for 1.9 yuan, a difference of 5 times the price
Because there are several special subcategories in food delivery apps, one is discounted group buying, and the other is pre packaged meals, both of which have discounted prices
People who are not price sensitive will use commonly used takeout, which has particularly high prices
Price sensitive individuals will use options such as group buying and group buying
The problem is not that others don’t want to use it, but that many people don’t even know
This information gap, even for short video promotion and graphic promotion, will not have much effect
Only close people who have actually used it and shared it in a timely manner can appreciate the differences in price and information
The core of remote work for digital nomads is also information asymmetry. Whether it is the lack of information in the past or the current information explosion, information asymmetry will always be one of the key factors hindering people from acquiring wealth
It’s like trading stocks, playing with information, but ordinary people don’t know the top-level information, and they don’t know the internal information either. However, some people can operate the stock market after knowing it
For example, if you ask me to casually mention today’s or recent hot news, I don’t know a single one
This is a failure
The first level of information sensitivity is hot news
The second layer is organized news that suits oneself
The third layer is news that is exclusive to one’s own thinking
Grey fast lane
It’s difficult for ordinary people to make money
Because capital and upper class intentionally blocked the path to success
Either set up various laws and regulations that ordinary people cannot operate
Either set various high thresholds, such as tens of millions of capital to enter the industry
Either you have to work until you have no energy left, no time to think, no time to deal with your own things, and naturally no time to think about ways to make money
Have you ever thought about it
Which wealthy people do you know, or those around you, how did they obtain their first capital and how did they acquire this huge wealth?
To be honest, even company executives cannot become rich overnight just by working. At most, they can earn a little more money and live a better life
So how did they become rich overnight?
Either the money in their hands is not clean
Either the money in their hands comes from sources you don’t know
For example, red envelopes or bonuses, such as a salary of 10000 or 30000 yuan, but a red envelope of 100000 yuan or a bonus of 1 million yuan
This can only be considered as ordinary income
Millionaires are just ordinary people
Millionaires are the true wealthy. They live in villas, eat top-notch food, and enjoy top-notch pleasures
But how is the income of millions obtained?
Power, wealth, resources, and connections
The top-level group has resources that ordinary people cannot access, such as real estate, healthcare, and military fields
Anyone can earn millions of dollars in income, but because you are not a member of their family or power, you cannot obtain it
Nowadays, ordinary people either open shops or Internet e-commerce, or they will have no future if they just go to work. The upper limit is there. It has been calculated that they have only a few hundred thousand incomes for decades, barely enough to support themselves
Normally, you can read more books, learn more tutorials, and reuse the experience of others for more than a decade (but the real core will not be taught by anyone, such as opening a convenience store, not teaching you how to read books, purchase and manage goods, only making you a waiter, but their children will)
You must learn how to use the Internet. You must open an external connection to surpass ordinary people
From Bitcoin in the past, to AI now, from computers in the past to smartphones now
Only new things can bring change, and only change can bring wealth
For example, YouTube is also a platform where many people can easily capture videos and receive millions of views, continuously generating huge profits. Some people earn millions of dollars overnight, while others earn thousands of dollars a month
If you are not destined to post on YouTube, you will not have such an opportunity
Self media, like e-commerce, has no upper limit and can earn a certain income by relying on one’s own slaves and luck, freeing oneself from a nine to five job
However, similarly, many ordinary people may not necessarily have income for several years because their daily routine is not attractive and they do not have many skills
The fastest way for ordinary people to succeed is through plagiarism and copying, copying the ways and thinking of successful people
For example, if someone else comes up with a 99 yuan tutorial, you can buy it to learn and create your own 9-yuan tutorial (converting other people’s learning into your own content output) (of course, reselling it directly is the fastest, but it is not recommended)
For example, imitating others’ YouTube or WordPress, learning their food vlogs, and learning their editing techniques. When others travel, you also travel, and when others draw, you also draw. As long as it is successful, you can learn it. Even if you only learn 10% of it, you can earn about 10% of the corresponding income
Do not create new fields, develop new products, or innovate on your own
You are just an ordinary person, and the fastest way to succeed is to replicate and learn from those successful people closest to you
Each stage
My first stage is to expect a passive income of $10 per day
According to my current living situation, $5 is for rent and utilities, and $5 is for living expenses, which includes food and drink. This is already the minimum income requirement and can meet my needs to continue living
And the expected daily income of $10 is expected to be invested within 3 hours, not all day long. This way, I won’t have time to work on the next passive income channel or think about it
What I need is passive income, even if I don’t do anything in the future, there will still be income coming in
If I only need to work for one morning to earn $10, then in the afternoon I can explore other ways to make money
For example, writing blogs, independent development, e-commerce, TK live streaming, remote work, stock trading, and other ways to make money
My second stage is to expect $30 a day, so that I have $20 a day to do other things such as traveling, saving money, advertising, etc. $30 a day is already a middle-income in a small city in a third developed country, which is equivalent to earning a little more than a full-time job
My expectation for the third stage is a daily income of $60, which is high income for small cities in third developing countries. At this time, I can consider buying a house, a car, delicious food, good-looking clothes, even luxury goods, or traveling abroad (the second stage of tourism can only be domestic tourism)
My fourth stage is a passive income of $100 per day, which exceeds the basic salary of regular work or middle management. This is the true stage of freelance work, as it offers the same salary as working but more flexible time, provided that it only takes half a day to earn the corresponding income. If working all day, it is still not considered a digital nomad experience
vlog
I have two networks at home, one is a proxy network and the other is a normal network
I need to use a proxy when processing videos on my computer, and an agentless network on my intranet when processing documents
Currently, Mac does not support dual network card WiFi (which is convenient for Windows)
The final solution is to add a USB network interface on the document’s server (Orange Pie 3B), and plug the agentless network cable into the USB network interface. This way, there are two network cards on the server at the same time, which can access both the intranet and the proxy network simultaneously
I am currently writing blog documents by using an internal network to build documents while processing videos through a computer’s proxy network
Tips
My daily income now is only $1 (although I haven’t spent much time on it)
Today, I am trying a new way to earn as much income as possible. Other methods allow me to earn $5 a day
If I can’t achieve it, I’ll have to think of other ways to earn more than $1 in income
