The Airstream Chronicles Don't Panic - It's most likely spam mailA new tactic in trying to separate you from your money, or just another iteration of the same old scam. Somehow people really want to take your money online by hacking you, or pretending you hack you. This morning I got a call from an old client who was worried his e-mail had been hacked. Your best defense against this stuff?

When things slow down I think the updates will come more often. Today we talk about the RV Living video market space. Specifically we'll be talking about the group "Epic Nomad TV" that created a video documentary about full time RVers and full time RV living.

The Airstream Chronicles Can I make money with Drone Job WebsitesThere are many drone job websites out there for Part 107 Drone Pilots. The big question is pretty simple. Can you make money with these websites, or are the client requests undervaluing your work? The answer? It depends on where you're located I believe. It also depends on whether or not the jobs are located in places way off the grid, or in busy metropolitan areas. •3D Drone Modeling for beginners: https://bit.ly/2qWR0zE •Drone Photography and Editing: https://bit.ly/2wx0Rz9 •Lightroom Workflow for Digital Photography: https://bit...

Others want to get information about how to build their websites, and then branch off relying on their own creativity. What type of student are you?

The short answer from my time looking in so many new models is no. If you're shopping for a new RV and plan on camping off grid, get your questions ready for your RV dealership.

So my work week is off to a chilly start! It's looking like a busy week here at the Airstream Chronicles. Work for clients in Southern AZ, work for clients in the Tri City area, and additional video recordings for my Udemy courses.

The Airstream Chronicles A Saturday Morning Podcast - You know, since I missed Friday!Ah yes, the morning got away from me on Friday. It happens. Work first, podcasting second. Yesterday I spent the morning collecting data for a new 3D modeling project I'm doing. A few hours outside, some fun drone flight, and then a few errands. By the time I was ready to podcast the motivation faded away. So here I am on a Saturday morning explaining myself. :) Here's hoping whatever you're doing, and wherever you are, you're having a great Saturday morning! • My 3D Modeling test from Friday: https://bit.ly/2Der61x Online Classes •Share better travel images with Lightroom - On...

The Airstream Chronicles Full Time RVers and YouTube - Making an income with social media?Recently I watched a favorite full time RV couple's YouTube video about needing some help from their audience. They were looking for testimonials from viewers to share with potential advertisers. Bottom line? They're trying to earn their full time living with their YouTube channel about living in an RV. Nothing wrong with that. We've all got to earn a living. I wonder though how many viewers actually make buying decisions based on their favorite Full Time RVers. See, a lot of RV channel followers aren't RVers yet. They're dreaming about it, learning about it, and enjoying following along with other...

The Airstream Chronicles Tech Talk Tuesday - Oh AppleApple's recent event left me a little underwhelmed. The new iPad Pros, the new Mac Mini, and the updated Macbook Air. In the end my response could be summed up in one word. Meh. I've never considered myself a "power user," but I do a lot of things other Apple buyers don't do. I podcast, edit videos, created 3D drone maps, edit photos, and more. So I suppose from that perspective I'm more of a power user than most. And the recent updates to Apple's lineup just aren't crying out to me. Here's hoping by the time I have to...

The Airstream Chronicles Tech Talk Tuesday - Why are professional photographers so expensive? It's all digital now, right?This is a tech talk / work talk Tuesday episode. Over the years I've met many full time RV'ers who try to make a living doing photography while on the road. Often they realize (too late) that they're priced to low for the services they offer, and they end up looking for alternative revenue streams. I'm one of those people myself. I moved away from private portraits to commercial work, as I could request my actual value in commercial situations. So, why is professional photography still "so expensive" even with the advent of digital photography? We talk about that in today's...

It's the story of how I went from being a Graduate student in Economics to being a network design engineer in the wireless telecommunications industry.

This story leads to other stories and how I went from being an engineer to owning my own small business and living full time in the Airstream. Over the course of future podcasts we'll continue the story of the weird roads we go down in life. Have an awesome weekend everyone! ...

The Airstream Chronicles Drones and your small businessOver the weekend I spent some time flying over a new house for sale in Chino Valley Arizona.

The Airstream Chronicles The cheapest price doesn't mean the best productWhy is it so many business owners go after the lowest bid instead of the best product? I have never heard of a fantastic experience getting the cheapest service. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for." If you're a small business owner, or even a mid-sized business owner I'm sure you've learned offering the lowest price doesn't get you the best client pool. You need to respect your value that you offer, and your clients should also respect the value of the work you do. If it all comes down to the lowest cost solution I...

The frustrations of photography mounted over the years as I felt undervalued in the industry, which is part of the reason I walked away from the gallery and studio years ago. Too many requests for free advice, too many lookers and not buyers....you get the idea.

Things have been going well so far, and the exercise reminded me that I might have some more images for stock photography sites as well. Years ago I signed up with Dreamstime (link below), and submitted less than 300 photos. And over the years I've made nearly two thousand dollars off of those images. That's over a decade, so not earth shattering numbers, but it's still passive income. Since we had a rainy weekend I decided to...

Over the years I've been "shopped" more times than I care to count by other people looking to compete in the market space I'm in.

Often times we use the excuse of trying to get something perfect to help us avoid showing our final product to the world. At times the perfection quest can become paralyzing and keeps us from succeeding at what we're doing. A class I took years ago from UGurus addressed this issue.
