Aspiring individuals who wish to embark on a digital career need to develop themselves first by undertaking challenging experiences that they are deeply interested in.  There are no easy method to start earning money online except those frequently seen social media ads that promise you to earn big money without any work and it always end up “YOU ARE ACTUALLY THE MONEY”.

Travelling

Excluding the COVID-19 crises, traveling gave you an entirely new perspective and exposure to new cultures always provide you something interesting to talk about with other people.  Visit places you’ve only read about, eat local food you never taste before, and make friends with people you probably won’t have met in your own country.  It’s really good for you.

Start a Business

The number one thing that a new business is going to teach you is that failure is inevitable, and once you survive it, your experience gave you a much higher change to succeed in the next business venture.  This is one of the best old-school character building one can ever gain.  Starting a business is one of the greatest way for you to learn how to negotiate, develop bullet proof skin so that you can convince people to help you even when people don’t like you.  It really toughen you.

Be a Volunteer

Search for a cause that you really care about and volunteer your time in the biggest way possible.  You can tutor under privilege kids, do repairs for old-age home.  Whatever you chose to do, make sure you gave everything you have.  Just be a good person without reason.  Having the ability to help someone makes you feels good and you also learn a lot of about other people life stories which is going to make you a better person.

Learn a New Language

Do not learn a new language in a half-hearted way.  Really learn one like you going to migrate there to live.  Work on becoming fluent, start to enjoy and appreciate the language culture that are typically reserved for native speakers.  Finally, take an extended vacation to the learned language country where it is spoken.

Attend Training

Find something that really interest you and it does not matter if it is music, dancing, painting, baking or creating sculpture, find a training course.  Once you learned it, create something beautiful that you are proud of and then regularly share it in your social media.

Start a Hobby

Play chess, learn martial art or start bowling competitively.You can be pro-active and start a running or cycling club around your neighborhood.   Most importantly, do something useful with your time instead of wasting time on another never ending television episode and force yourself to get better and better with your hobby.  Track your progress and compete in tournaments, if any.

Be an Expert

When you google, what are you looking for?  The whole internet thingy is are about sharing your expertise in a profitable way.  It doesn’t matter whether the sharing platform is podcast, blogs, website or youtubevideos.  Devote an entire year to learning everything you can and become well versed in it.  Depending on your expert subject, if possible, create your own research studies and get it published in a journal.  A regular person try to skip the hard work but you want to be exceptional.  Constantly push your own intellectual boundaries and try to learn difficult concepts that scare you.

Journal Your Life

Go to blogger or wordpress and create a free blog account.  Set it to private if you wish, there is a high chance that you won’t know what the hell you were talking about when you read your own life history again in ten to twenty years later.  The main benefits of journalizing are meditation, reflection and habit building.   Writing things down helps you to control your thoughts and dedicate a set amount of time for daily reflection.

Conclusion

All of these ideas can lead to an amazingly fulfilling online career later down the road as you are developing a useful skill that you can create something with.  The ability to produce something tangible or intangible has never been a more valuable skill.
