Happy 3rd Anniversary to Me as a Virtual Assistant/Freelancer! 🎉

This journey hasn’t been easy but it’s definitely been worth it.

*December 2021 – I discovered freelancing through TikTok. I found out my cousin and my bestfriend since elementary were already doing it. They encouraged me to try, so I did my research and enrolled in niche-focused courses and free courses on Udemy.

*For 6 months, I applied to 20 jobs a day on different platforms. I joined interviews with direct clients and agencies, got lots of rejections, but I kept going. I focused on improving my portfolio and that’s what helped me stand out as a creative.

*June 2022 – I got a message from someone on OnlineJobs. She became my first direct client. At that time, I was still working at Nokia as a Documentation Engineer, juggling both jobs.

*July 2022 – I finally left my corporate job. It wasn’t an easy decision since I was only earning PHP 12K/month from freelancing (not even reached a half of my salary on my corporate job). But the workload from both jobs was too much, and I took a leap of faith.

*November 2022 to March 2023 – This was my most challenging season. I experienced no clients for 3 months. Family emergencies drained my savings, and I even went into debt. I started questioning if I should go back to a corporate job. But deep down, I knew I loved freelancing even if it felt unstable at times.

*April 2023 – I landed my first premium client on Upwork. Slowly, I started saving again. I promised myself I wouldn’t let myself go broke again during slow months.

*Fast forward to today – My monthly income slowly grew over time. I’ve finally reached (and sometimes exceeded) my target. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and I wouldn’t trade this journey for any other career path. Taking the risk was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Glory to God! 😇🫶🏻

——————

To anyone who wants to get into freelancing - expect the unexpected. Don’t focus on how much you’ll earn. Focus on building your skills and learning how to solve your clients’ problems. When you focus on results, the rest will follow. ✨

I really agree with sir Brent Seniedo’s post 💯

It also made me think about how buying cheap vs. quality plays out in real life.

I used to go for the cheaper option thinking I was saving money. But most of the time, those things didn’t last, they broke easily and I had to keep buying replacements. So I actually ended up spending more.

Now I’ve learned that it’s better to invest in something with quality, even if it costs more upfront. It lasts longer and saves you from the hassle (and extra spending) later on.

It's not just about spending less, it’s about spending wisely. 🙌

2. Know where to market yourself
3. Know the basics of your chosen niche
4. Know how to be resourceful
5. Be consistent in up-skilling
6. Be confident

Hi Ninjas! Sorry di na naka live, gabi na kami naka uwi from our unexpected Oslob Trip. Napagod kami ng sobra sa activities today. Kaya instead of live, gumawa nalang ako ng video about social media management to share my ideas and experience in social media management.

Abangan ang loom video tutorials sa technical side ng social media management soon ☺️
