Hello guys, so, I live in Brazil, and I'm brazilian (I don't like living here), so here's my actual situation:
-I'm going to do this full time (I quit studying, if you complain about the educational system in your country is because you don't know the brazillian one)
-Some experience in IM and SEO (already earn some money translating texts from Portuguese to English)
-I program in several different languages, so I can make websites that are precisely what I need for free
Now here's the thing, I only need USD$ 30.00 a day to live over here, yep, that's right, 30 bucks a day and I'm done, even though the economy over here is in a eternal state of shitness (is literally cheaper for you to buy a plane ticket to US, buy an unlocked iPhone 5, stay for a week in a Hotel and then come back here instead of buying a locked iPhone 5 in a 2 year contract), the US dollar have a high conversion rate over here (1 USD = 2 BRL roughly), and living costs on my city are relatively low, so let's do a simple math (considering that I'm earning a steady 30 bucks income):
30*30 = 900
900 * 2 = 1.800
Rent of a 1 bedroom apartment: $ 790,00 (water, taxes and stove gas included)
Electrecity bill: $ 100,00 (100 bucks for electrecity is expensive even here, I'm obviously exagerating)
15mb internet + Telephone or cable/sat. tv*: $ 135,00 (*you can get just internet over here)
Total living costs: BRL $1.025
1.800 - 1.025 = 775
Emergency fund: 380
775 - 380 = 395
400 bucks for food and TADAH!, I'm done!
Now you maybe wondering how I pretend to earn this money, well It's quite simple actually:
-A "funny" images blog (if you know what I mean)
-Selling tweets on SEO Clerks
-A new project that I'm programming from scratch that is a sure fire way to get lots of traffic (is a gaming site, of a kind that don't exists in Brazil)
What I got so far:
-A < 3 Unique visits per day "funny" images blog with some ero-advertising ads setted up
-35% of the gaming site completed
-A twitter account (a personal one, but I will still sell tweets from there) with 3,5K followers
What have I done so far:
-Bought 4k twitter followers from a guy in SEO Clerk (still not delivered)
-Cutted any game addiction that I used to have
And most inportantly:
-Cutted out any kinda of conneciton with crappy people, I don't need shitholes with pencil pushers jobs to demotivate me
Well, I know that I'm fully capable of doing it, so my deadline is December 2013.
There's only ONE thing that "demotivates" me, ADHD, I know that I have, but my mom thinks that is just because "I stay on the computer way to much" (even tought she knows and accepts the fact that I work with internet for some years), so she wont take me to a doctor for me to get a fricking prescription.
(BTW: I'm not a native english speaker, so if you notice an english mistake, please correct me)
Anyway guys, I hope you enjoy my adventure, and I'm sure that I will give something back to the community ASAP.
