With AI shaking up a lot of industries online, and likely more competition worldwide from other freelancers in developing countries coming online, what profession would you get into these days to become a digital nomad?

Ideally something you can build a portfolio independently while working a regular job and start making money from in less than 2-3 yrs.

Want to base myself in Thailand or the Phillipines before 2026-2027 ideally.

Already have a basic portfolio in web design and digital marketing, should I keep going and look for a job in this field or will it be too saturated in the future?

I’ve worked in digital marketing / social media for the last 10 years. The amount of work available is continuously growing as more and more businesses transfer from traditional marketing to online marketing

Would you recommend I approach local digital marketing agencies in my city to get some experience? I have worked freelance and built a portfolio in this area, but feel I still need to demonstrate I can get results for clients

Did you get results for your freelance clients? If so you can use this to get more clients

Yes I did, but its harder to prove ROI on paid ads and SEO over say web design, hence right now I'm stronger on the web design side of things.
