Virtual Assistant Bootcamp - Work from Home Podcast

An industry that experienced tremendous growth is eCommerce.

In the Philippines alone, the e-commerce market size was valued at three billion U.S. dollars in 2019 and is expected to reach 12 billion U.S. dollars by 2025.

This is huge I must say.

This has driven businesses to really expand.

And a lot of them are hiring their virtual assistants.

They are a valuable support for customers browsing products a store. Aside from providing customer service, they also help with product sourcing, product listing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and a whole lot more.

No wonder, many aspiring freelancers want to niche down and become an ecommerce VA.

Are you one of them?

Then joining our FLIP Chat & Chill tomorrow at 6pm is a MUST.

Because we’re gonna talk about...

I’ve said this many times.

Before you step your foot on freelancing, you have to know your why.

Why do you want to become a freelancer?

Because this will help you keep going when everything gets tough.

Just like our JasSuccess guest tomorrow.

Meet Donna.

She spent 7 & 1/2 years in college.

When she became a mom, her desire was to have more time with her family.

She also looks forward to having financial freedom and doing more for God’s work.

To make all these come true, she turns to freelance.

Even if she doesn’t have clarity at the start and struggled a lot with time management since she’s breastfeeding...

She continued.

She persisted...

And right now, she has more quality time with her family and the pandemic also pushed her to step out of her comfort zone — to a beautiful growth that broadens her perspective.

Be inspired by her story which she’ll share with us on August 4 at 4 pm.

You’ve probably heard about this.

It’s been gaining popularity for quite some time now.

And is now making its presence felt in the freelancing world.

I’m talking about cryptocurrency.

What is it?

What does it have to do with us, freelancers?

Is it the future of freelancing?

That’s exactly what we’ll talk about on August 2, in our FLIP Chat & Chill at 6 pm.

Facing Challenges - Monday Motivation - 08/02/21

"I just started my freelancing business last year June 2020, then when I hit my first 6-digit ng October, nagpagawa kami agad ng bahay."

This is what Bhebs told us.

But she didn’t start that way.

In fact, she used to work in Jollibee as a scholar to finish her studies.

She also worked as a real estate agent to get an allowance.

And right after college, she worked in a foreign company as a marketing assistant.

Getting Php16,000 per month.

If you think about it, sakto lang sahod nya kasi nag-boboarding house pa sya.

And for someone na hindi pala-tambay sa Facebook, she doesn’t know that freelancing exists.

Good thing, she was able to discover groups that provide free trainings like FLIP.

This made her curious, especially seeing people who are hitting 6-figures a month.

Fast forward today...

She’s one of the success stories in freelancing — from fast food worker to funnel builder.

Not a techie.

No graphic design skills.

No coding skills.

How did she do it?

And how was she able to hit her first 6 figures as a freelancer?

Let’s find out!

Does any of these sound familiar?

"I have an interview by I’m afraid to go."

"I’m conscious about my English."

"I may not be able to answer questions properly."

"I don’t have experience."

Listen up.

It’s totally normal to feel nervous in advance.

In fact, everyone is nervous about getting interviewed. Some hide it better than others though.

But here’s one thing you need to keep in mind.

A job interview isn’t just an audition.

It’s a chance to learn more about the job while showcasing your skills and experience.

Your goal?

Find out whether the job is right for you.

And if you’re really anxious about it, there’s no other way to deal with it than be prepared.

That’s exactly what we’ll talk about in our FLIP Chat & Chill

In one way or another, we’re all hit by the pandemic.

And that includes our JasSuccess guest tomorrow.

Meet Jane.

She’s an aircraft engineer by profession.

She was working abroad when Covid 19 hit.

The company that she’s working for implemented a forced leave, which made her decide to go back to the Philippines earlier than planned.

After giving birth, she started looking for a work-from-home setup.

And it hasn’t been easy.

"Dahil kakapanganak ko palang, I need to give more time to take care of our baby. Medyo kulang din ako sa confidence dahil newbie at malayo ang working experience ko sa napili kong niche."

So how did she able to overcome these challenges?

How did she manage to find clients even if she’s a total newbie?

And how did she manage her time as a mom and freelancer?

Let’s find out this Wednesday at 10:30 am.

Little Seeds - Monday Motivation - 7/19/21

Just like any other business, freelancing demands a lot of time and commitment to be a success.

It’s not enough that you have the skill to offer.

You need to let your prospects know that you exist.

Simply put, you need to market your services.

And knowing how to market yourself online as a freelancer does more than just put your name out there.

So how do you exactly do that?

That’s what we’ll talk about tomorrow in our FLIP Chat & Chill at 6 pm.

So in our FLIP Chat & Chill on Monday, we’ll talk about natural disasters and how should we prepare for them.

Let’s admit it.

It’s not easy to handle situations like typhoons or earthquakes, among others.

Especially if we’re working from home.

In fact, this is one of the biggest challenges faced by our JasSuccess guest this week.

Meet Olga.

She’s a teacher.

Since her salary isn’t enough, she explored and started freelancing to provide for her family and pay for her tuition to finish law school.

But what really pushed her to go back to freelancing was a near-death experience.

She really did take action and pushed herself and asked for help every time she stumbled and thought of giving up.

Now?

She’s making an extra Php24-30K while still working as a public high school teacher.

So how did she manage to do this?

What’s the near-death experience that brought her back to freelancing?

How she juggles her full-time job and freelancing?

Let’s find out on Wednesday, July 14 at 3 pm.
