Since I am hunkered down at home during this Coronavirus Outbreak, I thought that I would share some of the ways that I am able to work online and become a freelancer of digital products.

I've been working remotely for over 9 years now, and the question that I get from a lot of people is....how can I start? Well, it isn't that easy.

I started doing side hustles when I was working 3 traditional jobs and putting in about a 100 hours per week. I thought to myself, this isn't fun LOL. I went on a european backpacking trip many years ago, and my goal was always to find a way to work online so that I can travel for as long as I wanted. Being location dependent wasn't for me, so I worked hard to find things to do to make money online. Are you tired of doing the same thing, don't feel like your career is going anywhere, need extra money to make ends meet? This is how I felt, and I'm sure that there are many people who feel this way now, how about you?

The one thing that I like about being a freelancer (Digital Nomad), is the freedom to work anywhere around the world as long as I have an internet connection. And if I want to take a break from travel, I have the opportunity to hunker down at home, which is what Im doing now during this coronavirus pandemic! =)

THING TO KNOW: It's not easy becoming a Freelancer or Entrepreneur. It is based on your performance. If you don't hustle, you will not get paid. But there are things like residual income, basically money that you make even when you're sleeping. It's possible, but you have to work to make that happen. Do you have what it takes to work hard for 2-5 years, to have time freedom for the rest of your life? Most people don't, but if you're one of the OTHER people who likes to set goals, and really crush them, then you can join the 2-5% population who is successful doing this.

You don't have to be part of the 2% to be a freelancer though, we're talking about a 6-7 figure residual entrepreneur, so don't get your hopes down, you can do this! =) Some of these people start with being a part-time freelancer like I did, and end up being really successful entrepreneurs, so it can happen!

I am currently based in the Philippines raising a family and working my freelance business. I try to stay home as much as I can, but sometimes I will be hired to do a film project and that's when, and how I travel these days, all expensed paid which is nice. That's the thing with online freelancing, some or all of your travel can be paid for! And who wouldn't want a free vacation!! =)

SO WHAT DO I DO?

I will give you guys somewhat of an idea on some of the things that I do. You can give some of them a try, or all of them. Keep in mind, most of these things will take some time, I recommend implementing some of these options based on what you enjoy doing. What I mean by this is, make sure that you are doing something that makes you happy, and not just because you can make money.

Yes, money is good. It pays the bills. It can help you buy things, but it can't buy you happiness in the long run. So start thinking about what you love, and find things that you can do to turn that passion into a business.

ONLINE COURSES:

I love watching youtube videos and documentaries on Netflix, it always sparks my creative side especially the fact that I have a small video media business. Yes, you can learn a lot from youtube, but I recommend that you take some online courses because they are structured and takes you step by step. I mean you can spend months surfing from video to video on youtube, when it can take a day or two to learn it with a certified online course like on Fiverr. Browsing youtube can waste a lot of your time, so taking an online course will help you become more productive, which in turn will help you make money faster.

A lot of these online freelance courses are hosted by people who are freelancers and entrepreneurs themselves. So what better way to learn from the people who are actually doing it!

I take a lot of online courses that help me learn about selling online, promoting digital products, social media marketing, and storytelling. Remember, this post is about being an online freelancer, so it just make sense to learn about how you can be successful with digital products and services.

There are a lot of places to learn: Udemy, Masterclass, Skillshare etc. This is where I take a lot of my online courses because its very affordable and you can learn at your own pace. I use the Fiverr Learning Platform, check it out here!

I am also a member of Fiverr and sell some digital products there for extra income, it's like the Amazon of Digital Products and Services, it's awesome! Not a member yet, click here and start buying and selling digital products, a great way to start a side hustle as an online freelancer.


AFFILIATE MARKETING:

Now this is what I love. For those of you who are not familiar with affiliate marketing, its quite simple. All you really do is promote or share products from the companies that you love, and make commissions. You can get cash back deals, to commissions per sale, all the way up to a whopping 6-7 figure residual income. All you do is promote, and they handle everything else for you! 

Remember, it's all about doing what you love. So I recommend that you find a company that you love, and then find out if they have a referral or affiliate program. Once you are set up as an affiliate (it can be free up to a small nominal fee), you can start sharing and earning 24/7. 

These are some of the top companies who I am working with as an affiliate. 

- Team Beachbody, because I've used their products for years, and I love being healthy and active. I love their digital streaming workout platform. This is the NETFLIX of fitness! With this affiliation, you can earn 25% commissions, and up to $200+ bonus commissions, and more. I've been a TBB affiliate and online coach for 9 years, and this is by far my favorite online business to date =) 

You can be an online affiliate with TBB here, and start earning huge rewards for being an online social media fitness influencer. No experience required and always a great way to start a fitness journey and make extra cash during the process! Join here =)

- AMAZON.com, just one of the best all time affiliate programs out there! You can make commissions on just about any product out there. Freelancer or not, I think everyone should have an Amazon Affiliate account, its a great way to earn for things that you are buying, and all you have to do is share your links and get paid for products that you love! Become an Amazon Affiliate here.

YOUTUBE:

This is such a powerful online tool. You can share and make a video about anything. Some people think that you can make a lot of money with the ads on your video, but that is far from the truth. In order to be a Youtube Partner, there are strict qualifications. One of them being that you must have over 1,000 subscribers! I currently have about 4,700 subscribers on my youtube channel, and even though I still receive checks from google, they are not very big at all, only good for a nice meal, or a cheap one way ticket somewhere =)

I'm here to tell you that you can still earn from a youtube channel with far fewer subscribers than that. By using the links from your affiliate programs and companies that you work with, you can earn commissions from your video. For example, lets say you make a video about your workout, you can say something like, "oh btw, my workout shorts are from so and so, if you like them, i will put the link below in the video description", and if people like it and purchase from your link, you will get paid. If you are a videographer, you can showcase your talent on youtube as your online portfolio. Simply send your future clients to your page and if they like what they see, they can hire you for a video project. I have been hired by adventure companies, hotels, athletes, celebrities, corporations, non-profits etc all to do video projects for them. Your video may only have 100 views, but if someone hires you for a video project, you can earn $100, 500, or thousands depending on the project. You see where this is going? =)  You can check out my OCR youtube here.

So I think that's a lot to share and help you get started for now. Of course there is a lot to learn about online freelancing. There is so much opportunity! Remember, always do something that you enjoy, and don't make it all about making money. Your happiness comes first, and when people see that you are happy, and you are passionate about what you do, you will have more opportunity to get paid for doing what you love =)

Although there are other ways that Freelancers earn, I just wanted to share with you some of the things that I do to make money online, I hope it helps or sparks a little interest in you to start a side hustle that can one day change your life! 

If you do not know where to start, I would begin with taking some online courses here. And you can always connect with me, and I can assist you as well. Let's work together, looking forward to it! =)

Family-Friendly Siargao Island - Philippines

Family-Friendly Siargao Island Philippines, Cloud 9 Siargao Island, Lagalag Mafia, Arnel Banawa, J&V Beach House Siargao Island, Mama's Grill Siargao Island


I've always wanted to check out Siargao Island in the Philippines, but as I am getting older and prefer to do more family travel verses backpacking or flash packing, I was questioning if the island was family-friendly.

These days, you see a lot of vloggers hitting up SouthEast Asia, making cool travel videos, especially the Philippines because everything is so cheap! I totally get it, and it's no surprise why I am currently based here in the Philippines now starting a family. The Philippines is beautiful, the people are super nice, and the cost of living is very affordable. It's a Digital Nomad PARADISE!


I took my parents, my fiancé, and my one year old daughter to Siargao Island a couple months ago, and we explored the island as a family. I would have to say that it was a blast. The place where there are a lot of tourist is in General Luna. We actually stayed a few kilometers outside, to a more local place that I found on Booking.com. If you are on a budget and looking for a peaceful and local-friendly place, I would highly recommend J&V Beach House. The public transportation from J&V to places like Cloud 9 will run you about 40php, that's less than $1 USD one way, so it's really not that bad. Plus you get a good nights sleep without all the crazy party people on the island =)

Check out J&V Beach House here!


Anyways, we had an absolute blast. Heres a quick 5 minute video of our family trip to Siargao Island, and if you have any questions, please feel free to connect with me, I'd be happy to help. Have fun, and safe travels!

In-Home Sandbag Workout - AKA Modified Fast and Furious Insanity Workout!

In-Home Sandbag Workout, Home Workouts, Fast and Furious Insanity Workout, Fast and Furious Workout Sheet, Beachbody on Demand Free Trial, Free Beachbody Workouts, Arnel Banawa

What's up guys!

I haven't posted a workout blog in awhile, so I'm excited to bring you this workout that I did a few days ago. As most of you all know, I have been doing Beachbody-Type Workouts for a little over 9 years now, and I absolutely love it. One of the best things that I love is the structure, because it works! What I enjoy even more is changing up the workouts to fit some of my goals. For example, you may not like all the movements in a particular Beachbody Workout, so that's not an issue, you can customize it to make it your own, and I do this all the time. Now if you are new and just starting out, it might be best to stick with the original program until you have gained some experience in proper form, and how to customize workouts for best results. With almost 10 years of doing Beachbody Workouts, I am a big fan of changing things up as long as it works the same muscle group or goal. This works exceptionally well for people who enjoy working out at the gym or outdoors!

Let's get into the workout. One of my favorite Beachbody Trainers is Shaun T, his workouts just kick my ass, and I love it! I also like the fact that a lot of his programs are geared towards athletes, and for what I do as an extreme sports filmmaker, it helps me when I'm out hauling my camera equipment up huge mountains, and chasing some of the fastest athletes in the world.

Get Access to Hundreds of Online Streaming Workouts!
Workout anytime, anywhere - Free 14 Day Trial here

A lot of Shaun T workouts do not require weights, so what I like to do is "add weights" to certain exercises, and it really results in better performance for me. Now before you go and start adding weights to these workouts, please make sure that you know what you are doing, and consult your physician. I can assist with this, but before you speak with me, please do consult your doctor to find out what you can and can't do, its for your safety. =)


The FAST AND FURIOUS INSANITY WORKOUT
Workout time: 20 minutes

So this is the workout list for the original Fast and Furious Workout by Shaun T:

Warm Up (2X, 30 sec each exercise)
jog, jumping jacks, 1-2-3 heisman, jump rope high knees, fall to plank squat burpees

Quick Stretch

Main Workout (9 drills, each drill is 60 seconds)
1. High sprints/low sprints/floors sprints/moving push ups
2. Power knees (each side) Diamond Jumps
3. Ski Abs/ina dn out abs/oblique push ups
4. High knees with oblique twist
5.  Burpee with 2 push up jacks
6.  Power jumps
7.  Football Sprints/Low Tricep Plank hold
8.  Plank punches
9.  100 meter dash

Cool Down/Stretch


Get Access to Hundreds of Online Streaming Workouts like this!

So that is a list of the original workout, and here is what I did to modify it and turn it into a great SANDBAG WORKOUT

FYI, I use the Bruteforce Training Sandbag, but you can use whatever you have =) 

Warm Up (2X, 30 Sec each exercise)
jog with sandbag on shoulder, jumping jacks, step back lunges, jump rope high knees, plank burpee to sandbag grab to full extension. 

Quick Stretch (same)

Main Workout (sandbag run in between drills)
1.  Same
2.  Same (instead of Diamond Jumps, you can pick up sandbag and do sandbag squats)
3.  Same
4.  Same
5.  Same
6.  Squats with sandbag 
7.  Sprints with Sandbag/Low Tricep Hold
8.  Same
9.  100 meter dash with Sandbag 

Cool Down/Stretch

And that's it guys! It was a brutal but fast 20 minute workout!



Here is a quick video sample of the workout. If you have any questions, or would like assistance in customizing Beachbody Workouts to make them more fun and exciting, feel free to message me! Connect on facebook here.

My Take on the Covid-19 Outbreak, and Why I Give a Fcuk!

Staying Positive During Covid-19, Covid-19 Motivation, Corona Virus, Arnel Banawa, Home Workouts Covid-19, How to Help during Covid-19


This is something that I have wanted to do for a few days now, but I really didn't want to post it directly on my social networks only because I am not one that likes or enjoys to call people out. This might be a RANT =)

Let's face it, everyone has something to say about what is going on. Everyone handles situations differently, and in their own special way. I am not here to knock on anyone, rather I would like to maybe share what I feel is important, or maybe just a quick and positive reminder to people who are "not" really affected, or feel that this is not a serious issue because their lives are not "affected", by this Corona Virus. 

WHAT I SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Now I admit, when this started gaining attention globally, I didn't really understand what the effects would be. I did not know that my business, and my family life would be affected. I didn't know that my friends and family would lose their jobs. I didn't know that this pandemic would create a hostile environment in public areas where people are fighting over toilet paper. I didn't know that kids would be starving all over the world (not just in 3rd World Countries either) because of their parents not able to work. The list goes on. 

I posted what I thought was a funny meme on facebook about some people doing foot shakes instead of hand shakes, but eventually took it down because I felt that it was not appropriate. Yes, it was funny, but in all reality, this whole situation is NOT funny. 

I see people posting things about Corona Beer, videos about people fighting in grocery stores, racists remarks from uneducated people blaming others for this outbreak just because they are a different ethnicity, and all kind of things that in my opinion is not taking the situation seriously, disrespecting others in a way that people are suffering more and more. I do understand that maybe people are bored in their homes, and they are just scrolling on social media and posting things because they find that things are funny, but the reality again is.......remember, you are at home, you cannot work, you have no clue what can happen. It's like people just don't understand unless it is happening to them. Well let me say this, Covid-19 is a serious matter, and you could be next. Is it funny now? 

For the people who are not affected by Covid-19, I just wanted to remind you that there are others who are, including myself. If people want to post funny and positive things, maybe post about how much fun you are having with your family because you never had this time in the past, maybe a positive quote to help people including the friends that you know who are struggling right now, maybe a good share on a movie that you just watched on Netflix, or maybe even a great workout that you just finished, INSTEAD of things that would make people feel like crap and remind them of their unfortunate situations. I mean if you want to post about Covid-19, how about posting something about what you are doing about helping the situation? Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!

Now I do not want to seem like I am talking negative about people, I merely want to help shed light on the truth. We just do not know what the outcome will be, and there are just too many people who are hurting because of this pandemic. If we can all just try to think about things before we post, maybe not just think about how funny "you" feel something is, but understand that it may hurt someone in the process. We are all human, and no one wants to be hurt, no one wants to struggle, no one want to starve. But it is happening, and it is happening fast all over the world!

Yes, I also know that if people or myself do not like what someone is posting, they can block or ignore them, and trust me, I highly recommend that, I have done that myself only because I do not need any negative in my life. But I also think that this is about respect for humanity. It's about having a heart for others who don't have it like you do. It's about GIVING a fcuk for once!

There are so many ways to help people during this crazy time!
Offering workouts online is one of them =)

For some of you who don't care about what is going on, that's fine, you are the exception right now, and more power to you. But if you have a little compassion, and would like to help others, why not share some GOOD VIBES that would benefit the human population. You have the power to do that, and all it takes is a couple keyboard taps, and boom....a positive message can be shared to thousands if not millions of people around the world who need something, "just something" that will hopefully get them through another day.


You see, I know that we all have hearts. I know that we all have some good in us. It is my suggestion that if we can share some non-Covid19 related posts on social media, and share how beautiful your family is, and what are some of the things that you plan to do once this all passes, I feel that it would bring more happiness for all of us. 

Oh yeah, I understand that I am just one guy with my own opinions, so I don't expect anything from anyone. But I also know that we were put on this earth to be happy. Let's not forget that sharing happiness will bring more happiness to you and your family. I hope to see all of you again soon! =)
