For the past 14 years at www.locationrebel.com I've taught people just like you how to build a lifestyle business and become a digital nomad. There are a lot of ways we do this depending on your goals, skills and interests, but some of the most common businesses are built around freelance writing, niche sites, affiliate marketing and blogging.
Our primary goal is to help you get to the point where you're making $3-5k a month as quickly as possible, because after that? You have options.
My name is Sean Ogle, and I'm the founder of Location Rebel. I'm a location independent entrepreneur from Portland, Oregon and I travel 3-4 months out of the year and take my business with me wherever I go. On this channel you'll learn exactly how to build a similar business and do it from some pretty sweet destinations as well.

Awesome THANK you man. thank God I found this vidoe I needed a mentor I think I found you. Am taking this ride along ASAP!

[@Xiao-pi3un]

Hey what do i do when i have no portfolio ....i am just a beginner

[@doreekaplan2589]

Not free. Says costs $749.

[@LocationRebel]

@@doreekaplan2589 The email course is free. Access to our Academy and community costs $749.

[@doreekaplan2589]

$749 to sign up to make $1000 in 3 months only computes I'd you can spend that much up front then wait 90 days to recoup cost. Hmm. All based on a want to find out if it's for you ....

[@karekorn78]

I NEED to make this happen. I've been a legal secretary for 24 years and it's sucking the life out of me. I'm an artist and writer at heart, and didn't go to college for it for personal reasons back in the day. Now, I've gotten a taste for writing business Bios/About us pages/marketing brochures for a couple friends, and I'm loving it!!! Please dear God, let me make this happen!!! I cannot stand working for lawyers another day...

[@trancedoutkid]

I'm in a similar boat where I'm trapped doing something soul-crushing and would rather be writing. I hope your business is growing and you're still enjoying it!

Sean, I've watched about 17,000 of this type of freelance writing videos nd hit air the ONLY one that has struck a chord. I am going to make it. And when I do I'll buy you a cyber beer. Cheers Chris

did you find clients yet?

[@MaceyCulotta]

Thank you so much for this video, I sent out emails and perfected my pitch, and was able to get an opportunity to send a sample piece. I landed my first job the very next day! Thank you for the help and direction. I watched all your videos about freelance writing.

[@SallyParkesYogaSchool]

Inspiring!!

[@wafflewarriorthe3rd]

I currently run a freelance illustration business and am looking to do a side-hustle in writing. The #1 thing I learned doing freelance illustration is that you really need to hunt people down who need art and offer yourself as the best option. Jobs absolutely do not just come to you right away in the beginning, haha xD

[@abujafor3614]

Can we talk about it as i am looking forward to work with somebody who run business like this.. i would appreciate your response .

[@andreroberts2472]

Hey Sean, I really enjoy the content you produce, high quality and really informative. I never thought I could consider writing as a career, it's now something I'm actually considering. Thanks for providing a great alternative to something I see as a great bridge path to success

[@NokthulaMadondo]

Geez, am I glad to have come across this video. I was preparing to dunk myself into the fivverr /upwork murky waters (because everyone says that's how to get clients). Loved the outreach tip and I'm on it, like white on rice.

[@LindaONeill]

I watched another video that said to stay away from Upwork and Fiverr as far as starting out

[@tjhendricks1756]

@@LindaONeill he actually said that it this video as well.

[@minaizastarr]

Sooo how'd it go?

[@Samuel-ku1qb]

I'm definitely no success story, but believe it or not by showing genuine interest and excitement towards a ghost writing gig that was looking for *experienced* freelancers I got the job and was hired within... idk like 15-24 hours of signing up to Upwork. Seriously helpful to be passionate when applying! Now I have tried other types of jobs, but it appears that I'm the most competent when it comes to creative writing haha

[@Dmeekification]

Wow, this was really inspiring! I’ve been at Musician since I was a small child, I know so much about that, that I end up, talking myself into writing lyrics, or using my story telling skills towards that…But I’ve secretly wanted to be a writer since elementary school. Whether I’m at an amusement park, a concert, or even a date,😂 there’s always this inner narrative running, that I feel I need to express, but often don’t know where to put it. I would love to finally get this out of my system, and use it to benefit my life, (instead of just being a distraction, or a conversation with myself). Thanks!

[@kristophmac2960]

I have stressed for years about my niche, and never once heard the term generalist. Hearing you talk about it actually gave me hope for pushing forward.

[@natechenry]

As soon as you said bridge business and how you explained that it’s “for those who want more free time to spend time doing hobbies” is what I related to from the get-go. Because that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I want to spend more time doing outdoor activities, I don’t want to spend most of my life working for someone else in that way. And I feel like freelance writing for others is the way for me because I love reading and I love writing stories.

[@doreennekesaofficial]

Landing on Sean's channel has been a life saver for me. I've been wanting to start a career in freelance writing and this channel just outlined everything out so clearly. Actually, step number 6 for me is huge because I didn't know exactly how to go about cold pitching in freelance writing. You simplified everything. and thanks for warning me about Upwork. No wonder I tried upwork sometime back send hundreds of proposals with minimal to no success. And it made me think that I can't make it in freelance writing. This channel has completely revamped my dream. Thanks sean!

[@don1lee]

Great advice! Thank you for putting together this video.

[@MamaKembi]

Informative as always, thanks Sean

I love your enthusiasm and honesty. Like your cold-intro email, you're personable and engaging, and there's none of the "make a billion dollars in your first week" BS that most other KZbinrs shout. I'm 55, and have just been made redundant (with a research and medical device background. How spooky is that, lol) so I'm signing up and putting time aside to see if freelance writing could be the answer to my digital nomad prayers :o)

Hey Ya'll..."new guy" here! I'm a 68 year old whose physical attributes are SERIOUSLY beginning to wane and need to get out of "slinging" batteries and brake rotors for a living...until now! O.K. I'm a casual observer of Sean's material and I'm astounded at how much sense this makes. I've always "prided" myself at being able to write, (even when I was a sports writer for a local newspaper here on Hilton Head Isl. some 40+ years ago AND DIDN'T KNOW "JACK" about sports !!!), so there's something to be said about living vicariously through others, even though they may know less than you. Point being, do your research on stuff you don't know that much about and somehow it'll rub-off on you, (if you're paying attention). TMI, so I'll end here and will update in the near future...THANKS SEAN!!!
