At first, I had a hard time adjusting to the cold images, but as I listened, it seemed to contain a lot of useful tips for living as a digital nomad. I think it will be very helpful.

It's a good lecture. I forgot the deadline and was busy, so I couldn't listen to it all, but the deadline has expired. Can I ask for an extension?

What you'll learn 📚


Expected Questions Q&A 💬

Q. I'm a junior developer. Can I make a living as a digital nomad?
A. Yes, it's possible. If you start preparing step by step now, you can transition to freelance work once you reach a beginner-level level of experience.

Q. As I gain experience and age as a developer, I find myself taking on unwanted administrative and documentation tasks. Is there any way to fix this?
A. In Korean society, it's inevitable that older employees within an organization are expected to assume management roles. You should prepare for independent freelance work. This lecture will explain this in detail.

Q. Do you also share tips for cases where the unit price is too low or the balance cannot be received when seeking outsourcing?
A. Of course. We'll explain why the unit price displayed on the outsourcing platform is so low and what countermeasures are available if the balance isn't fully paid.

Q. Is there a way to minimize damage from the beginning when contracting for outsourcing?
A. Yes. If you follow the two principles I outlined when outsourcing contracts, you can avoid being scammed and complete your project safely.

Q. Can I receive ongoing support and share information through networking, beyond just one lecture?
A. Yes. By joining a group chat, you can network, share case studies, collaborate, and help each other.

Things to note before taking the course 📢

You don't need to prepare anything separately. If necessary, it would be better to make a brief note.


Introducing the Knowledge Sharer ✒️

I am a living developer who has been working as a developer since 2000.
I tried PL and PM in the meantime, but management work didn't suit my aptitude, so I switched to freelancing.
In the meantime, I started a startup and have about 3 years of experience as a self-employed person.
I had a dream, so I prepared for the path of becoming a digital nomad, not tied to a specific location, and now I've been living as a remote freelancer for several years.

    If you have vague dreams without any experience or connections, you can find a general direction by listening to this lecture. You will learn stories that you cannot know unless you have worked as a freelancer. [For those with no experience, 1-2 years as a freelancer] Personally, after watching the lecture, I think it would be good to study on your own through the IT union, OKKY community Q&A, etc. I will subtract 1 star from this because many people who have worked in the freelance market have heard of it or experienced it. [For those with 3 years or more as a freelancer (without any connections or who have only worked as a permanent resident)] It was an opportunity to feel that "there is no royal road to work" and to regain my determination to solve problems through platforms or other people. I hope to gain comfort and courage that I am not alone by joining the KakaoTalk community with people who have the same direction. I think this is the greatest value to me. -------- Specific content ---------- If you have no experience at all or have only worked as a regular employee for a long time and have no freelance connections, this will help you find a general direction. There are stories that you may not know if you have not actually worked as a remote freelancer. If you have some IT experience or have been a freelancer for more than 3 years and have at least two or three acquaintances in the related field, you will likely gain significantly less from this lecture. What I expected was procedures for finding remote jobs in the US and other places, specific points and procedures for targeting the remote market internationally, specific examples of actual work, etc., but it was limited to the domestic market, and there were many general stories that you would learn if you worked as a freelancer, which was disappointing. I will leave actual feedback on the lecture target. 1. How can I easily and conveniently find a remote outsourcing job (not a resident freelancer) There is no such method. The lecture does not include the know-how of "easy" and "convenient". It teaches the standard method that everyone should do. And you should listen while considering the special nature that the lecturer already had considerable experience as a resident freelancer. I was disappointed because I was thirsty for things I had not experienced. 2. How long should I set? I think it would be better to specifically say "the period until stable income is generated" to avoid misunderstanding. I wish you had talked about the time to prepare to be a freelancer and the time it takes to settle down after entering the market separately... I wish you had given more tips on the number of portfolios, delivery channels, etc. You can listen to this part while considering that the lecturer already had experience as a resident freelancer and started looking for work in the outsourcing remote sector. 3. What preparations should I make to avoid being scammed? Read the IT union bulletin board and OKKY Q&A carefully and look at the content. There is too much and everything seems important. And if you feel it is annoying, watch this lecture. I was always afraid until my first or second year as a freelancer, so I went to various IT communities and searched for articles and got a lot of help. 4. How to live as a freelance developer until retirement If you listen to the lecture, you will know the difference between the freedom you vaguely imagined and the freedom of those who actually have experience. Please keep in mind that even if you have achieved 1/2/3, you are not free. If you have signed a contract and worked as a freelancer even once, you will realize that "freedom" is a word with many restrictions. I was disappointed because I had high expectations for the age of 69 in the title. I wish you had told me if there were any real cases of people finding remote outsourcing development jobs in Korea after their mid-60s. While working as a freelancer, I have seen many people in their mid-50s, but I have never seen anyone in their early or mid-60s, so I really had high expectations for this part. When working remotely at age 60, I expected that there would be realistic difficulties, know-how on how to avoid them, and that juniors would see that there would be practical know-how on how to work to that level, and that person's philosophy and direction in life would be like this.

    If you look at other YouTubers, they only talk positively about finding outsourcing partners, but this person has a realistic story, so it's refreshing. I guess I'll have to avoid thugs when finding outsourcing partners.
