As a public speaker, I know how much time and preparation goes into creating content for just one presentation. So, the idea of creating twelve episodes felt like a daunting task.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I was able to invite my friend and experienced copywriter <a href=\"\/\/www.KateToon.com\\&quot;\" target=\"\\&quot;_blank\\&quot;\" rel=\"\\&quot;noopener\\&quot; noopener\">Kate Toon<\/a> to co-host the show with me.

If you\u2019ve watched my <a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/thewebcopywriter\/videos\\&quot;\" target=\"\\&quot;_blank\\&quot;\" rel=\"\\&quot;noopener\\&quot; noopener\">Youtube videos<\/a>, you may have even had that impression as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But if I\u2019m completely honest, for most of 2016, I wasn\u2019t happy. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everyone talks about the upside of being a freelance copywriter. You get to work from home, be your own boss and choose your own hours. Don\u2019t get me wrong &#8211; these are definitely perks I\u2019ve enjoyed for over 12 years now.<\/p>\n<p>But what a lot of freelancers fail to mention is the <strong>downside of freelancing.<\/strong> Some of the disadvantages of being self-employed, which I\u2019ve personally experienced, are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The isolation of working alone<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Negative clients<\/li>\n<li><b>Slow months and variable income<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Long hours and working on weekends<\/li>\n<li><b>Self discipline and motivation<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Being a freelance copywriter means you\u2019re responsible for <i>everything<\/i> that happens in your business. You have to wear many hats and, at times, it can feel overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>And even though I\u2019ve made a good living as a freelance copywriter, for over a decade, it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m immune to the downsides that come with our profession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was starting to feel depressed. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was no longer happy spending my days working from home in isolation. I began to yearn for the social interaction that comes from working in an office environment, around other people.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I lived in Sydney, which is <a href=\"\\&quot;http:\/\/www.traveller.com.au\/worlds-most-liveable-cities-2016-vienna-sydney-and-melbourne-rank-in-top-20-gn1vug\\&quot;\">one of the most livable cities in the world<\/a>, with a population of 6 million people, <b>I still felt alone<\/b>. I worked from various cafes around the city, but I still felt bored and restless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I was ready for a new challenge and adventure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One night, as I shared my frustrations with a friend over a glass of wine, she asked me a question that would change my life:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cBut you could work from anywhere, why don\u2019t you live and work in Thailand?\u201d<br>\n<\/i><br>\nI\u2019d visited Thailand a few times before and <strong>fell in love with the people, amazing food and laid-back lifestyle.<\/strong> I was ready for an exciting adventure, and relocating to Thailand would definitely provide that. Before I knew it, I was packing my bags and making plans to leave Sydney for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>On July 28th, 2016, I flew to Chiang Mai, Thailand. It\u2019s one of my favourite cities with its sunny weather, friendly people and beautiful countryside.<\/p>\n<h2>I Moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand!<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2718\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2718 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-thailand-1024x576-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-thailand-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-thailand-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-thailand-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai Thailand \u2013 Credit Lonely Planet.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Moving to Thailand was THE best decision I made in 2016. I went from feeling lonely and depressed living in Sydney, to feeling happier than I have felt in years!<\/p>\n<p>I was so excited about moving to Chiang Mai that I recorded <a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tsSj7e1wqR8\\&quot;\" target=\"\\&quot;_blank\\&quot;\" rel=\"\\&quot;noopener\\&quot; noopener\">my first day in this video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been living in Chiang Mai for 6 months now. And while I do miss my friends and family back in Sydney, I feel much happier here. What\u2019s so great about living in Thailand? <strong>Here are the top 4 reasons why I love living in Chiang Mai:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>1. The supportive community of \u2018digital nomads\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2722 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/digital-nomad-friends-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/digital-nomad-friends-2.webp 662w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/digital-nomad-friends-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/digital-nomad-friends-2-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of my biggest fears of moving to a new country was that I would continue to feel isolated. I\u2019m excited to say the exact opposite has been true, thanks to the thriving \u2018digital nomad\u2019 community.<\/p>\n<p>Chiang Mai has become <i>the<\/i> go-to destination for online business owners, entrepreneurs and freelancers from around the world. This community is known as <a href=\"\\&quot;http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tanyamohn\/2014\/03\/19\/tips-for-becoming-a-successful-digital-nomad\/#2b0f72392744\\&quot;\">\u2018digital nomads<\/a>\u2019 and there are thousands of them living in Chiang Mai.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, <b>the community is supportive, welcoming and friendly.<\/b> There are networking events, meetups, dinners and activities happening every day in Chiang Mai. I\u2019ve met lots of like-minded people (and quite a few copywriters!) and have made quite a few friends here.<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Friendly Thai People<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2730 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/smiling-thai-people.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/smiling-thai-people.webp 590w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/smiling-thai-people-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Thailand is known as \u2018The Land of Smiles\u2019<\/b> because of the warm and friendly Thai people. It\u2019s not uncommon for total strangers to smile at you on the street. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s the sunny weather, laid back lifestyle, culture or their Buddhist religion, but Thai people are incredibly friendly and welcoming people. It\u2019s an absolute honour to be living amongst such positive people.<\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Delicious Thai Food<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2732 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pad-thai-noodles-768x517-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pad-thai-noodles-768x517-1.webp 768w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/pad-thai-noodles-768x517-1-300x202.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thai food is internationally famous.<\/strong> Whether you enjoy spicy, sweet, sour or salty, there is a flavoursome dish on the menu for everyone. My favourite dishes are Pad Thai noodles, Khao Soi, and Massaman Curry.<\/p>\n<p>If you get bored of eating Thai food, there are literally hundreds of restaurants serving western food as well. And the best part is, the cost of eating out is so ridiculously cheap, it doesn\u2019t make sense to stay at home and cook.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <strong>the average cost of dinner for two<\/strong> at a decent restaurant is usually between <strong>$5 and $8!<\/strong> Of course, you can always eat at fancy restaurants and spend much more.<\/p>\n<h2><b>4. High standard and affordable cost of living<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2733 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-apartment-768x576-1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-apartment-768x576-1.webp 768w, https:\/\/startcopywriting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/chiang-mai-apartment-768x576-1-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cost of renting an apartment back home in Sydney, Australia is expensive. For example, if you wanted to rent your own 1-bedroom apartment in a nice neighbourhood, you\u2019d be looking at spending between $650 and $1,000 AUD per week.<\/p>\n<p>However, the cost of renting a 1-bedroom apartment in the popular and trendy <a href=\"\\&quot;http:\/\/www.theakyra.com\/blog\/discover-trendy-nimmanhaemin-road-chiang-mai\/\\&quot;\">Nimman area<\/a> of Chiang Mai is surprisingly inexpensive, in comparison. You can rent an apartment <strong>from as little as $150 AUD per month!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the video above I give you a tour of the apartment I rented for 5 months. It\u2019s a 1-bedroom, fully furnished apartment with modern amenities (air con, flat screen TV, washing machine, kitchen, etc). It\u2019s located within a five minute walk from the Nimman area and it cost me <b>just $550 AUD per month!<\/b><b><br>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>My Goals For 2017<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve got big plans for 2017.<\/p>\n<p>My goals include sharing a ton of new content, resources and tools to help you become a better and more successful copywriter in 2017.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>New Start Copywriting Website (and fresh content)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start Copywriting feels a bit outdated and is in need of an update. I\u2019m currently working with a web designer to give the whole site a fresh new look. I\u2019m also editing lots of videos from various presentations I\u2019ve given on copywriting, which I will be uploading to the blog soon. So keep an eye out for new videos and posts!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>60-Minute Copywriting Software<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For the last 6 months, a team of software engineers and I have been working on a brand new copywriting software program. This is something I\u2019m truly excited about.<\/p>\n<p>The software allows anyone, even people with <b>NO copywriting experience<\/b>, to create professional, engaging and unique website copy in <i>60 minutes or less\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t say too much about it yet. But I plan on releasing the copywriting software within the next few weeks to a handful of beta testers. As a subscriber to my newsletter, you\u2019ll be the first to know about it!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Copywriting Community <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another project I\u2019m excited about is building a private copywriting community. <b>It\u2019s going to be a supportive and welcoming place where you can connect with top copywriters, business owners and online marketers.<\/b> You\u2019ll be able to share your copy and get immediate feedback and advice on how to dramatically improve it.<br>\nI\u2019ll also be uploading new courses and training inside the member\u2019s area, too.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>What about you?
