We Interviewed "Writing Writers" Who Work All Over the World!

"I want to be free from my morning commute."
"I wish I could work more freely!"

I imagine everyone has had these thoughts at least once. Becoming a nomad worker is how you can make that wish come true.

A nomad worker is a term that combines "nomad" (meaning someone who wanders) and "worker." They are not tied to a specific office and work whenever and wherever they like.

With just a laptop and the power of words, anyone can become a nomad worker. Let us guide you on the path to a freer way of working.

What are the benefits of becoming a nomad worker?

The biggest appeal of being a nomad worker is that you get to decide everything for yourself: what time you start and finish work, and where you work.

If you aren't a morning person, you can wake up late and start your work, or you can take your laptop on a trip and work while you refresh yourself. If you are really enjoying the work you're doing, you can even start working in bed as soon as you wake up.

Unlike working by going to the same place at a set time, you don't have to stay in one place or organization, so you can lead an exciting daily life.

"The distance you travel is proportional to your ideas."

These are the words of Tsuyoshi Takashiro, a creator who holds multiple titles such as writer and filmmaker. Creators need a large number of high-quality ideas. Being a nomad worker, which allows you to work while moving freely, is the ideal way of working for a creator.

What skills are needed to become a nomad worker?

There are various skills for working with just a laptop, butweb writing is among the most versatile.It is no exaggeration to say that almost all information can be found on the internet today. The vast amount of text on the web is written using web writing skills.

The "note article" you are reading right now, the sales page descriptions you see when buying something, and the LINE messages sent from companies all require web writing skills.Writing skills are useful in every possible situation, including application letters to get work, communication with clients, and presentation materials.

If you acquire self-management skills in addition to web writing techniques, the path to success as a nomad worker will open up for you.

Let's learn together at Monokaki University, where President Mayo Mayo shares the web writing skills she has cultivated over her 10-year career as a copywriter, as well as numerous self-management skills she has developed through practical experience in the field.

The strength of Monokaki University is its rich curriculum.You have unlimited access to videos of over 150 past lectures.New lectures where you can learn the latest information are also launched every month, and you are free to participate in them.

We recommend that beginners start by learning writing, and then step up their learning to content creation, production, and marketing.

We explain the curriculum in detail in this article.

Introducing Monokaki University members who are enjoying nomad work

“If I study at Monokaki University, what kind of nomad worker will I become?”

The nomad worker you might become in the near future. We will introduce members of Monokaki University who live their daily lives vibrantly, showing how our seniors work.

[Principal Mayo-Mayo]

First, let's take a peek at how our Principal Mayo-Mayo works. She shared the secrets behind the projects she creates one after another.

—Where have you done nomad work?

Southeast Asia, the United States, Australia, Europe, and more. Within Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa.

An idea that came to me in Egypt, where the pyramids—famous as power spots—are located, turned into a 100-million-yen project.

I had a flash of inspiration while riding a camel and zoning out!

—What are the benefits of nomad work?

I feel that the joy and fun gained from travel increase the productivity of creative work. During travel, I have more time to zone out, and because I see new and different things, I can multiply ideas.

When architect Makoto Tanijiri appeared on the TV program 'Fighting Architect' and took on a three-week battle, he took all his staff on a trip to win, in contrast to his opponent who shut himself in a conference room.

I also do workations while soaking in hot springs in Hakone once a month so that I can produce good output while feeling excited.

Living a life not tied to a location has significantly increased my freedom and happiness in life.

*For client work, please enjoy nomad work while being careful about security, such as not opening highly confidential information in places where there are many people.

[Hiro-san]

Next up is Hiro-san, who transitioned from a company employee to a freelancer. She, who describes herself as super cautious, told us about the new way of working she acquired while raising children.

—What triggered you to become a nomad worker?

I joined an IT company as a new graduate, but became a wife of a transferred employee after getting married. I spent my days worrying about my career every time my husband was transferred.

At that time, I happened to see Mayo Noguchi's 'Web Copywriter Course.' Knowing that there was a job I could do anytime, anywhere, I felt a strong longing for it.

・Writing work can be challenged even from zero experience
・There were friends I met in the course

These things pushed me to quit the company I had worked at for 13 years and become a freelance writer.

—What are the benefits of nomad work?

For me, the most important point is being able to work from anywhere. I work in the mornings or at night to fit my children's schedules. My wish to have a work style that fits my lifestyle has come true.

[Mayu-san]

Finally, we will introduce the story of Mayu-san, who chased her dream and studied abroad in Hawaii.

—What inspired you to become a nomad worker?

I started as a nomad worker to fulfill my dream of working surrounded by the Hawaiian scenery I had always admired. After doing work that requires deep thinking, I look up and there is my favorite view!

When you work in a state of high happiness, being in a place you admire and love, you tend to perceive and think about things more positively and proactively, so the quality and efficiency of your work naturally increase.

Since ideas and the quality of work are influenced by your mood at the time, it is very important to keep your feelings positive and proactive through your environment. (Of course, I love the environment in Japan too!)

—What are the benefits of nomad work?

It is the ability to meet new ways of thinking, perspectives, and people by expanding your range of action and your world.

Thinking every day that you only live once, and having a curious personality, I have many things I want to try and places I want to go. Previously, I used "because I have work" as an excuse to suppress my feelings of "wanting to try" or "wanting to go" somewhere.

However, with nomad work, you can do your job in the places you want to go. (Though you need to ensure security is perfect...)

In an environment where I can work while taking on challenges, I am freed from the stress of "wanting to do something but not being able to," and I am able to work comfortably with a rich heart.

Last year, I was able to stay abroad while working and even earned a certification while I was there!
