  • Pros and Cons of Working From Home When It Comes to Family, Dating, and Relationships- Flip Chat and Chill - 2/8/21

    We asked some freelancers to complete the sentence "Thank God I’m Freelancing..."

    Here’s what they said.

    "I can help now my husband, I can take care of my kids while working at home."

    "I’ve become the breadwinner of my family during the pandemic."

    "I have a lot of time for my family."

    Truly, freelancing has changed their lives for the better.

    However, we can’t deny the fact that working from home also has its downsides.

    Especially when it comes to family, dating, and relationships.

    So how are you going to deal with it?

    Let’s find out this Monday, February 8, in our FLIP Chat & Chill (6pm).

  • How To Choose Your First Client
    Alright.

    So you know what service to offer.

    You’ve already honed your skills.

    The next question is...

    "How do you choose your first client?"

    Have you ever thought of defining your ideal client?

    Here’s the thing.

    Identifying who this is from the beginning will save you tons of time going in circles trying to be all things to all people.

    It really is a game-changer.

    If you’re just starting out, you can probably get started by exploring the types of clients you don’t want to work with.

    Yup, you read it right.

    Until you know who you don’t want to work with, who you must work with, who you choose to work with, it’s easy to take work and clients that drag you away from the work you deserve to be doing.

    Who can you deliver the greatest value to, who do you enjoy working with, and who needs what you do most?

    Write a detailed description of your ideal client and include as much about them as possible including the problems they are trying to solve.

    Make sense?

    We’ll talk more about it in our FLIP Chat & Chill this Monday, August 31 at 6pm.

    See you then!

  • From Frustration to Fulfillment: How Freelancing Changed A Former BPO Worker’s Life
    We all have different reasons why we pursue freelancing.

    Probably pagod ka na mag-commute (which is so tiring and toxic, especially nowadays).

    Or it’s as simple as gusto mo lang sa bahay kasama family mo while you’re still earning.

    For our JasSuccess guest tomorrow, it’s different.

    "Although we are very nice people and marunong kami makisama sa mga kasambahay, hindi talaga kami nakakatapat sa maayos na yaya.

    Turning point nung umuwi ako once galing sa office at nalaman ko na yung anak ko (1 year old) ay iniwan lang sa kapitbahay. Tinakasan na kami after mag-advance ng 3 mos."

    Ouch!

    I can’t imagine.

    On top of that, the environment in her office is so stressful.

    Ang ending?

    "Naging suki ako ng clinic, minsan nadala sa ER at nagsimula na magtake ng maintenance medicines."

    Because of this, she decided to focus all her energy on freelancing.

    Let’s know more of Kristel — her ups and downs and how she went from frustration to fulfillment .

    She’ll reveal all these this Wednesday, September 2 at 4:30 pm.

    See you!

  • How A Mom of Three Juggles Freelancing and Family Duties - Interview with Mahar Pedral - 09/16/2020

    It’s not easy to work from especially if you have other chores to do.

    Lalo na siguro if you’re a mom of 3.

    But I believe it’s fulfilling.

    Well, that’s what Mahar said.

    "Mahirap yet fulfulling ang maging work-at-home mom. (Yung naalagaan mo ang mga anak mo at kumikita ka at the same time, malaking bagay na sakin.)"

    Her family’s main source of income was closed due to the pandemic.

    So it’s a big thing that she gets to work from home.

    "Nevertheless, nowadays, I am thankful that I have work. Our restaurant is closed which is the major source of our income. I really hope this pandemic ends so everything can be back to normal."

    She’s one of our successful freelancers. And I’m proud of her.

    And we’ve been asking her for so long to share her journey because we know it’ll inspire many.

    You know what.

    She finally said YES!!!

    Woohoo!

    Our very own Mahar will grace our JasSuccess episode.

  • A Freelancer’s Journey From Economics Teacher To Ecom VA - Interview with Jeelene Benitez- 09/09/2020

    Usually, people would want to go into freelancing because they no longer like job.

    They’re stressed.

    They’re tired.

    Not to mention that they’re not being paid enough.

    But Jeelene is different.

    She’s a teacher.

    But after she got bored during the quarantine period, she looked for ways to earn more.

    Luckily, she found this "life-changing"program. (ehem)

    And after applying what she learned...

    "More income talaga. Mas malaki pa kinikita ko dito kesa sa teaching honestly, pero minahal ko na talaga ang pagtuturo so feeling ko kahit may offer sa akin na 6 digits hindi ko pa kaya bitawan ang pagtuturo sa ngayon."

    And right now, mas worthy na ang pagpupuyat nya.

    "dati kasi sa Kdrama at Mobile Legends napupuyat ako, ngayon sa work na."

    Be moved by her story which she’ll be sharing.

    How did she discover her niche?

    Where did she find her client?

    PLUS! The G __ and I__ that helped her big time in her freelancing career.
