Day and Night
As we all know, work is usually done during the day, rarely at night
Because working at night is very harmful to the body, generally only factories have night shifts
But for digital nomads, they can choose when to work. The best situation is to build a stable automated workflow, so that there will be a steady stream of income even if they don’t work
The work pays less but is stable
It is possible for digital nomads to be rich, but they also have to face the situation where they spend more than they earn
When we sleep and don’t get income, the so-called freelancers and nomads are also not free enough
For example
The general manager of a company does not need to punch in to work, can have his own studio, have his own working hours and rhythm, can arrive late or leave early, because they have business or entertainment or docking
Their salary is high enough, they don’t need anyone to approve their holidays, and they will have a steady stream of income even when they sleep, because employees are working overtime, or employees are staying up late, or employees change shifts and work 24 hours a day
But digital nomads usually don’t have employees to serve them, and all their income comes from their own efforts, so there is no steady stream of income at night
Geographical advantages and time freedom
The advantage of digital nomads is that they can save time and money on commuting.
You can work remotely in a cheaper place, where rent is cheaper and living expenses are not high. You can choose your own working hours and don’t have to work 8 hours a day.
For this blog only, the only thing that can earn income while sleeping is self-media.
Self-media mainly refers to YouTube and WordPress. When you sleep, the platform is also playing and displaying ads. Similarly, you will receive income while you sleep. Good content will become more and more popular over time.
Take the example of live streaming to illustrate.
Some people make millions overnight by live streaming themselves sleeping (although only a few cases).
At night, stores stop operating, transportation stops operating, and basically few people go out late at night. The whole world seems to stop running.
But on the Internet, there are definitely people who play games all night, watch TV series all night, chat all night, and other entertainment activities. It is not ruled out that they write code, edit videos, write speeches, etc. all night.
After all, your world is at night, and the Internet world on the other side may be during the day.
Opportunities for ordinary people
People with high education, skills, connections and resources usually have their own way of survival and do not need to survive as digital nomads.
For example, their deposit interest is more than the salary of an ordinary person.
Ordinary people want to get a normal income, and in a society where the economy is getting worse, they are increasingly dependent on the Internet.
Self-media, programming, and Bitcoin are all new things and opportunities for young people.
AI and Automation
But as for self-media, the current self-media has evolved to
Automatically generate millions of articles, automatically generate realistic and good-looking videos, automatically generate subtitles and sounds, and automatically generate pictures
When AI performs automated AIGC, then WordPress blogs and YouTube videos don’t even need you to operate them. It can be fully automated from content production to media publishing to revenue generation
Because it is a virtual world, there are basically no other costs except for basic electricity, Internet fees and AI computing power. Compared with millions of content, these costs are almost negligible, and the simplicity is so simple that almost every ordinary person can quickly learn
Of course, the platform does not encourage AI
We can use AI to improve efficiency, but try not to use AI 100%
Tips
As for the Orange Pi 3B (8GB memory) deployed in that blog
I can use AI to generate basic article outlines or specific content, and generate a series of content
Use AI to generate article cover images, titles and keywords
Use AI for SEO optimization, and generate various illustrations for articles
Use AI to automatically save manuscripts, polish, publish, data statistics and intelligent customer service communication, etc.
Use AI to generate audio blogs corresponding to articles
Use AI to generate corresponding short videos and soundtracks
Considering personal originality and uniqueness, this blog does not use automated AI for the time being
Maybe in the future, but not now
So the main way to make money at night is to
Employ employees to work 24 hours a day
Use AI and automation on the Internet
Use smart robots in factories or companies
