[@JimKackley]

Chris, I discovered your channel about six weeks ago and I'm methodically going through all of your videos. You've inspired me to make my own career shift over the next few years. Thanks! Keep it up mate.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Thanks Jim

[@alondob]

Though I didn't get a chance to meet you, I really had a great time at the conference. Lots of actionable tips but more importantly, valuable time talking to others at various stages in their respective businesses. Love the video! Keep em coming!

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Cheers Alondo

[@Juan-eep]

[@amolbharmoria1126]

It looks great. Where can we get updated about the schedule of such events?

[@MitkoKarshovski]

Hoping to make it to the next one :) Loving your channel Chris!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Great coverage of the Nomad Summit, Chris!

[@adrianingram4201]

Nice man! I feel like you've stepped your editing up this year, quality stuff!

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Wait till you see next week's video ;)

[@terencetsy]

bob who's that guy you were referring to?

[@ThisIsKylesLife]

Nice video Chris! My goal is to be attending the Nomad Summit for 2018. This year is about about studying and building for me.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Sounds good :)

[@MartyM.]

Yes, me too. It would be amazing to be at that point - it means you've finally made it!

[@leilasp11]

Thanks for sharing this video with us, Chris! I'm starting on the Digital Nomad way, so, I hope I would be present to the next event! :)

[@lavista4u]

Just beware of "Drop Shippers" & $5 ebook salesmen out there ..selling..How they made it to being a Digital Nomad ;)

[@thattablebloke]

Use your brain for a second. If they're selling ebooks and courses on how to make money doing this or that, it normally means they're just scraping by in their respective niches at best, maybe making minimum wage or thereabouts or plain lying about their income if they're especially shady, so they sell ebooks and courses instead to make money. They make more this way. Selling shovels in a gold rush. If they were making serious, or even just decent money doing whatever it is they're promoting, 1. They wouldn't be selling their secrets for $15 in an ebook, 2. They wouldn't be making more competition for themselves (for god sake don't believe the "I just want to help others" or the abundance mindset excuse, that's for even bigger fools to swallow), 3. They'd be concentrating on their business and growing it to make more money instead of spending all their time showing others how to do it and having 1 and 2 happen. You have something in between your ears, put it into gear.

[@StoicSageTales]

what is wrong with drop shipping?

[@SuperUnbox24]

It was great finally meeting you at the summit, Chris!

[@cevxj]

Just heard about it the other day! Edit: Thanks for being grounded and chill!

[@Bakesonline]

Chris, thanks for putting this video up. its videos like this that make me want to take the leap of faith and leave my job move out to chiang mai and network/hustle. i have also seen my cousin twice in this video and he's the person that introduced me to the whole digital nomad lifestyle and since feb this year i have been working on projects that will allow me to do this and leave my dead end boringggggg job.. i feel so grateful for the opportunities that being a digital nomad can bring. so thanks a lot chris. I'm buying your course to help me better plan for the move next year. i know I'm not going to regret leaving a dead end admin job back in the uk lool thanks buddy. hope to meet you soon. P.S - why do so many people on the net think digital nomad community is a scam lol?

[@catchabid]

Why is Chiang Mai top choice for D nomads?

[@chiefsmokestx]

Love this channel Chris! I will be there next year !

[@ChristopherChiu]

Enjoyed the video Chris and a bit gutted I had to miss this one (again!). Maybe next year I'll just stick through Feb. They're def looking more professional. :)

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Cheers Chris 🙏

[@AcaJudiJudiJudiJudi]

love your videos, but must watch in the mute mode, because music is too loud,

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Honestly - you and Nick are the only nomads I follow, give or take - I don't know - there is something about the pack which bugs me (yawn reflexes too) - can't put my finger on it Chris.....:-).....but keep your stuff coming, man.....:-)....

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Haha no problem. Thanks Mr Hobo

[@leem4418]

birds of a feather flock together. Enuff said :)

[@leslieoneill67]

Loved it! I was there!

[@livinthatlife]

Wow. Awesome job. I've gotta steal some clips from this hope that's ok Chris hehe👌😎

[@1533ramsay]

who knew. KZbin suggested this to watch. Very appealing life style!

[@JackLondon12]

So Emma has been a nomad her whole life, I wonder how that worked as a child.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

I'm scratching my head on that one as well lol

[@madinaabdulghaffar9232]

great 👍👍✌

[@gdnchg74]

Im going to CM next year and Im going to create a documentary on whether DM actually make money. Some quantitative proof to prove once and for all if its a scam or not.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Sounds like a great idea! Let me know if you wanna collab

[@totallosersguidance8302]

Making money online is not a scam, I have been doing it since 2003. I have made money with affiliate marketing, creating logos, advertising, selling books ect... Being a Nomad, and living cheaply in Thailand is not a scam. Yes you can get an apartment the size of a hotel room even in Bangkok for under $150 a month. Electricity is a little more expensive because it is so hot, and appliances are not exactly energy efficient. Yes you can eat healthy freshly cooked food with a bottle of water for under $2.00 The data plan for a cell phone cost me about $15 a month. Taxis in Bangkok run on natural gas, and are ridiculously cheap. 35 baht or $1 to start. It is ridiculous to imply the Digital Nomad lifestyle is a scam. Sure there are some people who are modern day snake oil salesmen, but there are many more who are not. An aspiring author who is bringing in several hundred U.S. dollars a month, and wants to live in Thailand where they can survive on their meager income while they focus on their writing can't possibly be considered a scam artist.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Total Loser's Guidance excellent point 👌

[@gdnchg74]

I have made it very clear that it is possible to live life successfully as a DM. Since you can't read, I'll say it again: Yes its possible to be a successful DM. However, you have been doing it since 2003 when the barriers to entry were lower. Now the market is saturated and you have scammers like JD profiting off fresh meat where most will fail. Sure a talented author can make a few hundred a month, but out of every 10 aspiring authors, how many actually make money? And stop with the damn cheerleading Chris, its sickening.

[@totallosersguidance8302]

No where in your original comment do you say that it is possible to live life successfully as a DM... "Im going to CM next year and Im going to create a documentary on whether DM actually make money. Some quantitative proof to prove once and for all if its a scam or not."" What am I missing??? WordPress type templates were in their infancy in 2003. You had to code it yourself back then. AOL was social media back then. It is easier now in my opinion. Yes some DM's may be scammers, and I have seen some DM's selling "How be a DM" products before they became successful themselves. Good Luck with your documentary.

[@MemoriesOfStuff]

This was a great event, truly brilliant. and to all the haters, what's the matter didn't you get rich quick? Grow up, it takes hard work and persistence. Your jealousy explains why you failed. March and Leanne were especially inspirational, but all the speakers brought something useful.

[@seanjuan]

wow the summit upgrades every year

[@gdnchg74]

Johnny is making a killing every year so obviously he upgrades

[@seanjuan]

Turtle Machine​ how was the summit? Did you really learn a lot or was it more general knowledge? What type of business owners did you get to meet?

[@hungheykwun]

Honestly the summit was geared more toward people who are already digital nomads. Noobs like myself was lost. The slightly tech stuff was nothing new to techies but I am sure non techies learned a lot.

[@ShakhrilloTukhsanov]

Why so many people say scammers?? Really not understand. For example I consider myself digital nomad and people are working really great. Great video Chris

[@ChristheFreelancer]

I don't get it either man. Thanks for watching :)

[@abhishekmallik1760]

Chris, Adrian is right about you. Your video quality has came a long way.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@Minoritynomad]

I really hope he credited the "Hungry Immigrant" mentality to it's source. lol. Although I'm "critical" of the scene up there, love what you do man. keep it up.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

What's the original source?

[@hungheykwun]

maybe gary got it from somewhere else too? unless you can trademark that phrase

[@AcaJudiJudiJudiJudi]

hola Jubril!

[@DonXenophone]

ONYA!

[@auuunold]

I went to a "No Money Down"...Seminar, "ONLY $99.00"...Full House... All BS...1980

[@gdnchg74]

I wonder how much money these people got scammed out of......

[@MartyM.]

None. They weren't selling anything, only giving presentations about what they do and ideas about the lifestyle, etc.

[@leem4418]

Chris, this question is for you to answer.

[@youthanek]

@lee m, chris is a scammer. what makes you think he will answer your question honestly?

[@ronnieo9571]

Marty McLeod Seriously? A conference and no one has anything to sell? The presentations are not capture devices to put people into the funnel? Just sharing? No motivation for $$$ somewhere on the back end? Be honest.

[@MartyM.]

Ronnie O Yes, seriously. What you either didn't pay attention to or didn't understand is that the people attending were already living/working abroad, not potentially doing so.

[@Nyder]

It's like a weird mixture of scammers and guru cultists. Some are delusional dreamers some are sociopaths.

[@texgale2466]

Sausage fest... can you guess the male female ratio, im interested in demographics.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

75-90% Male, I would guess.

[@modestas2890]

sausage fest XD

[@MartyM.]

Well, it is Thailand. Can take care of that issue after the meet-up, lol.
