Digital Nomad is both a work and life balance. They are someone who lives and works out of different locations they choose to inhabit or travel for a period of time. There have been digital nomads who started out blogging and then eventually tried vlogging. Vlogging and Blogging is basically aiming to produce content based on their adventures and experiences. The difference is the medium, blogging is setting up an account whether through WordPress or your own site wherein you can log just like how a journal or diary would be. On the other hand, vlogging means producing video content.
Here are some tips to jumpstart your own content:
1. Choose a topic that you really love. Most of the time people just randomly share anything under the sun. However, to really entice people to read or view your content you must make it clear what part of your life you want to share. Traveling for an instance, do you like to focus on writing or filming about DIY travel tours? Would you pursue traveling BnB at a time? This way, your audience knows what to expect and in turn be more loyal and watch out for your future content.
2. Write, write, and then write some more or simply continue documenting. Document through written or video form will help you gain more vision in your trajected storytelling. This way, your voice becomes more distinct. The truth is, travel content is a niche that is overflowing with content. You have to find something to set you apart and make you, YOU.

With this, maybe you can use stock videos for transition or for when you are creating a short film of your travel. Either way, you must take into account how the video or photo is uploaded to your site. No to low-quality!
6. Keep it professional. Since being a digital nomad means earning from your content produced. You must still remain focused. This means, creating your plan. When you go to a particular place, what do you shoot? When will you shoot it? What location is important for you and your viewers? Your boss is you and you must be accountable for the things you post. Apart from this is being consistent especially once you’ve grown your following, people would want to hear more from you and your experiences!
