Hey steemit!
My name is Robert Botto and I am a 28 year old from New Jersey. The past year, I have traveled mainly throughout South East Asia. During my times I expanded my eCommerce/Dropshipping stores while taking notes all along the way. All I needed was a decent wifi and my job could be done.
I hope to help people that are looking to start their own eCommerce journey that can give you the freedom that you may desire.
So about me?
In 2011 I am proud to say I graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelors in Agricultural Business Management.
Ready to join the "real world" and start making some real money within my family business. Eager to learn the in's and out's of the family business.
In January 2012 I purchased a digital franchise while working full time with my family. Long story short, I was working a lot and loving it!
Let's just say, from 6:00am I am at work till about 9:30pm I get home from franchise work. I was learning about my own franchise and from the ground up my family business.
Come 2014, someone acquires 50% of my franchise and is now co-owner and I am starting into a management position on the marketing end for the family. 2015 comes fast and I sold the remaining half of my franchise to my co-owner and focus more on my family business.
Still learning, I decide to take up the entire digital marketing department while also running the telemarketing department and assisting our sanitation and operations management team. But the franchise ended and I had free time that I wasn't use to for I was running my digital franchise for so long, I forgot about free time.
I started learning about dropshipping, about other sources of income online, about "passive income".
Fast forward 2017 as I am writing this post. I have successfully launched multiple dropshipping sites, sold one and, have been living in Chiang Mai for the past six months. Been taking photos, exploring what South East Asia and Thailand have to offer. Basically, I am, living the dream that I dreamt two years ago while sitting in my office cubicle. The past few months I lived and traveled throug Bali Indonesia and have now landed back in the States!
Over the past few months I also have started back into the world of Crypto. I'm excited to talk Digital Marketing, Dropshipping, eCommerce and Crypto.
If you are looking to be your own boss, then follow along for I plan on dropping a lot of helpful information in regards to starting your very own online business!
Thanks for Reading,
Robert

Hey @Jonny12 !
I appreciate that man. Hope you enjoy what I have to say and maybe I can teach you about dropshipping :)
SEA is quite amazing and hard to explain as I'm sure you know! Where you over there for pleasure, work or, a little of both?
Ive been working in Australia on a farm and took my money to go travel SEA. I liked it so much I go back every year for 3 years straight now. :) Ill keep reading your Blog and yeah maybe I learn a bit about dropshipping. It is cool how many interesting people you get to know on Steem. Keep up your good work!
Ah! Thats awesome. Hope to get back myself in the coming year(s).
Met a ton of people while traveling that were doing the same thing. Do you have any tips on how to get into a good farm? Heard thats the hardest part (especially as an american)?
It is very important to track the seasons. If there is no season there is no Work.
I would also recommend starting in a working Hostel and if you get to know the Farmers move directly to them to safe money. They most likely always have some place to sleep and cook. Researching the Farm on the Internet and calling them will give you the best shot on getting the Job. Always say you can work longer than you actually can, they dont like to work you in and seeing you leave 2 weeks later :)
Appreciate the tips @jonny12 - I'll keep that in mind. It is something I have been debated to do. I hear you make good money & honestly, I think I'd enjoy it more for the overall cultural experience. Thanks for responding so quickly!
Yes it is, it is also good to get the second year visa which you only get if you worked on a farm or consturction for at least 88 Days.
Have a good day Mate

Welcome, welcome, Robert
My name is Nicholas Black
Welcome us all, both old and new to this place of sharing and treasure. Well, that's how it was explained to me anyway! welcome aboard and if you get a minute, take a look at my mostly ridiculous, sometimes informative posts.
I'd love to see us all grow together, so if you feel so inclined, FOLLOW NICK and my silly antics and I'll do the same. Teamwork makes the dream work (an old coach in those way-too-tight shorts always said that before slapping us on the butt...which I think constitutes assault these days, but whatever.)
wow, this is really encouraging. A well explained post, elcome to steemit Robert Botto. You seem to have important things that may help. Looking forward for your posts. welcome.
