Asking Digital Nomads What They Do For A Living (Bali, Indonesia)

In this video, I traveled across the world to one of the biggest hotspots for digital nomads in Bali, Indonesia. I got to ask strangers a bunch of questions about what they do for a living, how much money they make, advice for others, and a bunch of other spicy questions about the lifestyle costs in Bali, business, and philosophy.
I've always wondered what types of people are working online in Bali, so make sure you watch the entire video because I was able to find a lot of really cool people with very interesting income streams and businesses!
I hope this video inspires you if you're looking to become a digital nomad and make money online! My goal is to motivate you guys with success stories from other people that are crushing it, so that you can learn from their experiences and replicate their success. There is so much opportunity out there and money is flowing all around us, and I think this video proves that there are so many creative ways you can make money online nowadays.
I think being a "passport bro" and having complete location and time freedom is the best lifestyle possible - and I was truly inspired getting to visit Bali. We filmed this video in late July 2023, during my 3 week trip to Australia, Bali, Jakarta, Singapore, and Tokyo! We stayed for about a week in an epic Villa in Bali: Villa Atas Ombak in Seminyak!

Bali was my dream destination for 10+ years and I'm so glad I finally got to go for a week! Thanks to everyone who talked to me for this video. It was truly inspiring to have these conversations and get a glimpse into what the Bali lifestyle is like. One day in the future, I'll be on my own digital nomad journey :) To the viewers who want to be a digital nomad someday - you got this!!! It's entirely doable and living in places like Bali is actually quite affordable. You should be able to have an amazing lifestyle while spending 1-2k per month. Have a great day! -Charlie

[@wonseob07]

Digital nomads have a terrible reputation in Bali. Most don't even pay taxes which you're supposed to in Indonesia. If you're going to take advantage of a less developed country you should pay your respect and fees. edit: TAX IS NOT 2.5% in INDONESIA IDK WHERE SHE GOT HTAT FROM

[@sharkmun]

All of the people interviewed don't have jobs that help them build wealth except the guy with the SaaS company. The engineering girl making $30,000 Euro per year is a joke. She is significantly underpaid. Any company paying her market rate would not let her work remotely like that. I work in the field so I should know. The OnlyFans girl is probably taking 5-10% management fee. This equates to $2,500 - $5,000 per month. They are all sacrificing long time security for short time pleasure. There is nothing wrong with this. We should be honest about it and not sugar coat it.

[@SharingTravelMoments]

Hey Charlie, So glad to hear you had an amazing time in Bali! It's definitely a special place. I'm really inspired by your digital nomad aspirations. It's totally doable, and I'm sure you'll have an amazing time along the way. Here are a few tips from my own experience: * Start by building a strong online presence. This will help you attract clients and employers, and it will also make it easier to work remotely. * Be patient and persistent. It takes time to build a successful digital nomad career. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately. * Network with other digital nomads. There are many online and offline communities where you can connect with other people who are living the digital nomad lifestyle. This can be a great way to learn from others and get support. I wish you all the best on your digital nomad journey! Best, Paul

[@andrewdavidson4421]

I wouldn't necessarily take what some of these people say at face value. The young black software entrepreneur was pretty straightforward about saying that his business brought in $1M in annual revenue, but that's totally different than actual profit. So he didn't really answer the question. A lot of the younger people were just marketers for OnlyFans and I personally wouldn't consider the marketing side something that is adding value to society, even if it pays well I wouldn't consider it enriching and rewarding. I mean, you're convincing men to pay for something that they can get for free. Like the guy who talked about how important it was to "find the right people" after talking about how his favorite place to meet people was at the gym because he found "like-minded people" who "care about staying fit". Apparently, that was his only criteria for "the right people". A lot of these people probably spend all day at the gym, work far less than they claim, and earn far less than they claim. A lot of them don't have their lives together like they claim. Don't forget the guy who stays healthy by avoiding gluten!

[@jonyfrany1319]

theyre probably rich from birth or had a good mentor.

[@budrager]

​@@jonyfrany1319 Yes a lot of digital nomads come from, well maybe not even rich but above-average income families. These parents might have made their own dreams come true at some point, and will raise their kids with the mindset that they must also make their dreams come true. In most cases their parents have achieved enough financial independence that these kids never even think about the idea of having to financially help out or take care of their parents at any stage, so they can focus entirely on their own needs and wants. The parents will also be able to give them solid advice on finance and business, from their own experience. On top of that, if anything goes wrong they can often rely on their parents for help, such as a quick interest-free loan or they can return home for a few months if their plans fail. It's from this position that many digital nomads operate, their parents can offer them a certain peace of mind.

I made a lot of money exporting Indonesia made products to DIY companies around the world. Now retired, I moved away from the crazyoness of the south (seminyak, kerobokan, canggu etc) as it is just not my cup of tea, the traffic is insane, and there are too many people.

[@caonabocruzG]

I would say their real talent is finding a job that allows them to do this, their jobs are actually nothing out of this world. It's also curious that they all come from first world countries or got the job in these. That really helps. Good vid!

[@dariusshojaei5036]

They usually work on a skillset through college/online courses. They apply for a job in their country, and then they travel after they land the remote job. Most of these jobs are in the marketing/computer development jobs.

[@anatta467]

theyre only here because its cheap and they can avoid taxes

[@Niberspace]

i don't think that's true. to get that taxrate you need to be counted as not being a resident of your home country, and that home country will probably be unlikely to offer you work then. I have a remote job but I wouldn't be able to just officially "move" countries , and if you're not getting the bali taxrate then it's not worth living there@@dariusshojaei5036

My wife is Indonesia and we’re going there at the beginning of next year. If you didn’t eat rendang, Soto Betawi, ayam kalisan, sate ayam, and many more then you missed the point. Can’t wait to eat all the food!

[@CharlieChang]

Haha we had a good amount of Indonesian food! But next time I'll go try the rest

[@dolbyderringer2225]

EXACTLY! Every American surfer from San Diego CA -whether a famous pro or otherwise whom have long stays in Bali for the world class waves there misses Mexican food (Tacos Butritos Enchiladas Quesadillas etc) the most! I’m like WTF!?! Balinese cuisine and Indo food in general is so so much more nuanced, tasty, nutritious, developed and VARIED than your typical Beer and Gringo Melt that is boring, overly salty, and so so common, easily made and over priced!

Hi! I’m putting together a collection of case studies detailing how remote workers got started so other people can follow in their footsteps. I’d love to hear on a scale from 1-10 how helpful this would be to you so I can get feedback on my idea.

[@g.o2092]

Good video man, I thought to chip in a tip I believe would make your Q&A type videos more engaging. Cut the video such that all the Q&As on a single topic is in one segment. Rather than finishing with one person first, and then repeating the whole thing with the next person. Noah Kagan does this beautifully, and his Q&As don't feel drawn out Cheers mate

Yo! This was awesome! 2 of the interviewees I really liked! 1. The guy in the bar or restaurant from LA, who was the fashion designer. He said some major things I resonate with 100%. Yo man please do another one of these videos. The 2nd person was ola I think her names was.. first off she was gorgeous, like her energy and she seemed very open minded and also had some great advice.

[@floe5413]

Thanks Charlie for the insightful interviews. I especially found the young entrepreneur had refreshing mindsets. I am thinking about quitting my engineering employment and doing my own business. Regarding remote work, I think the Covid years showed that its feasible for many office jobs. In electrical engineering the teams are distributed around the world anyway. Only problem is if you do hardware engineering that necessitates some degree of lab or testbench work that you cannot do in a nice villa at the beach 😂.

Anybody from any country once they come to Bali they will love it and want to stay in Bali longer

[@bbizzle6901]

I liked the fact that you asked different questions to different people. But I had hoped some follow up questions on the answers they provided

[@calebquimby]

I have found this to be the hard part when it comes to asking question. One question leads to an answer which gives another question. I have wanted to ask questions like this and have a many follow up question. often times I think we have to be caustion of the other persons time.

[@MaskedOG]

Taking notes: 1: Don´t do anything productiv for society. (Don´t be a conventional worker) 2: Do something people want to express themselfs with. 3: Learn how to talk as if what you do is importand. 4: Make yourself belive what you do is Importand. 5: Find a trend and act fast on it. This isn´t ment bad. It´s what I see most entrepreneurs do these days.
