Is my certification enough to prove my status as a remote worker in Thailand?

Hello everyone ☀️

I was wondering if someone could help me with a question I have:

I recently completed an online training program to become a freelance administrative assistant. I have obtained my certification, created a LinkedIn profile, a professional Instagram page, and a website presenting my remote services.

I am just starting this entrepreneurial activity and do not have any clients yet.

Do you think that my certification, along with my portfolio (service offer sheet, LinkedIn profile, Instagram page, and website), would be sufficient evidence of my status as a remote worker?

Could a letter from my mentor at the training organization also be used as proof confirming my participation in this professional activity?

Thank you very much for your help and advice 🙏
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on whether their certification and portfolio, which includes a LinkedIn profile, Instagram page, and a website, are sufficient to demonstrate their status as a remote worker in Thailand, especially given that they currently have no clients. Comments suggest concerns about the lack of income and employment proof, and a few offer advice to focus on building a client base.

I would put my energy in getting a stable client base, a stable income and than start to sit on the beach to relax.

Running around, moving to other countries is nice dream.

No income, no tax record, no employment, no customers? Hmm.

You better sign up for 9-12 months of cooking class. Soft power

I doubt it, if you have no clients you can't show income
