Almost 13 years ago, I had a simple goal in life.
To augment the family's income.
With 3 teenage children (noon, kasi married na sila lahat ngayon), the meager salary I had as a private school teacher combined with the earnings from our small car wash business were not enough.
Eh nabalitaan ko sa hipag ko yung about online jobs. So sige, io-try ko, db? Why not, coconut? 😄
Nakagawa ako ng portfolio sa Upwork as a writer. After 7 months yata before ako napansin ng client. Uy, ang offer sa akin, $1/hour!
Kung ang sahod mo ay Php10k to Php12k a month, ang laking bagay na nung additional income na yun, di ba???
Tapos, as time went on, nakapgcharge na ako ng $2, $3, hanggang naging $15/hour. Ang saya ko na nun!
Yun nga lang, madalas akong magkasakit dahil sa burnout. Tas to fight off sleepiness, kain ako ng kain ng junk foods at inom ng soda. Resulta? Diabetes Type 2, huhuhu.
Buti na lang talaga, I learned a different kind of freelancing.
Yung pwede kang mag-charge according sa gusto mo. Pwedeng $25/hour, or several figures more pag per project.
As a result...
✅Nagkaron ng time sa family
✅ Nagka-free time to build courses like The Ben Button Content Writing Course and Bubots Writing and Tutorial Services, etc.
✅Nakapag-dp sa house
✅Almost paid na ang aming car
✅Pwedeng mag-ME time whenever
✅At may budget para sa happiness ng most nanays: ang mag-grocery!!!
Now I think it’s time to share this opportunity with others na nangangarap din matuto kung pano kumita habang nasa bahay.
Is that you?
If so, I invite you to check out this 3-Part Work-From-Home Training Series to learn how to get started on freelancing.
