The above list is what I learned from CJ Cajoles during her talk at the Side Gig Conference 2019 last July 27. I also learned new words or term "bread & butter", which is an earned or main source of income".
Being in a community of like-minded people will boost, influence and inspire you to do the things you like. There is a support system and everyone there hopes what's best for you. They are there to hand-hold, guide and uphold you.
Being a freelancer is one of the good things happening to me. No more experiencing bad and heavy traffic. And the best of all is you get paid in dollars and spend in pesos. Thanks, PayPal and GCash. Hopefully, I could use the Payoneer as I hear good things about it and find a client who would hire me a per hour basis.
Right now, I'm building up my portfolio and accumulating lots of experiences from writing, image editing, and virtual assistant jobs. My bosses are very generous to me and I'm super thankful to them for giving me a chance to prove myself and opportunity to experience how it is to be a freelance worker.
That's it! I hope you grasp the learnings of these 10 good sides of being a freelancer. But if there are good sides, naturally there are not good things as well, which I'm gonna discuss in my next blog post.
Happy reading and let's have a coffee break. =)
