Finally hit $3k in a month with my laptop setup in Medellin

Honestly, I've been hustling as a freelance writer for about 8 months now, bouncing from hostel to hostel. Last month in Medellin, I hunkered down at a coworking spot called Selina and actually made $3,100 doing content for a small eCommerce brand. I learned that having a consistent desk and good WiFi for just 4 weeks straight made a bigger difference than any new gear I bought. Has anyone else found that staying put in one city for longer really boosts your income?

3k in a month and you're crediting the WiFi and a desk? Feels like you're selling the actual work short. Like yeah, a stable spot helps but it's also the clients you landed and the actual writing you did, right? People chase gear and location hacks all day but the real grind is getting that first good client and not messing it up. Sounds like you got lucky with that eCommerce brand more than anything else.

So wait, you're telling me consistent WiFi is actually the real hack and not a thousand-dollar laptop?
