I recently turned 30 and am looking to transition into a more stable job after spending my 20s working in music creation online. I got lucky in college and started making music during the rise of platforms like Soundcloud, which allowed me to get by. However, the music scene has dwindled, and I'm now seeking something more reliable. I’ve moved to a low-cost-of-living country to maintain stability while working online, and I'm hoping to find a remote job. I have developed skills in music creation, video editing, graphic design, marketing, branding, and social media, but I haven’t had formal training in these areas. I'm feeling lost about how to approach my job search. Should I just apply to jobs on sites like Indeed and list my skills? Or should I focus on networking and meeting new people to explore opportunities? I'm really unsure about the next steps in my career.
