Freelancing Pizza

Yesterday, I met up with some fellow freelancers for lunch. We discussed the joys and pains of freelance life over pizza, and I realized that I’m not alone. Here are some insights that I have gathered from our conversation:

  • Freelancing does not mean having a lot of free time. We even work doubly hard and spend more time just to earn enough.

  • Freelance work is about choice: the power to choose when and where to work, and the ability to choose which projects to work on.

  • Freelance work gives us more freedom to pursue our passions, such as volunteerism for me and graduate studies for them.

  • Freelance work is about interesting but also hard work. It is important that one establishes self-discipline before embarking on any freelance project.

I hope that there will be more conversations on freelancing and support groups on the topic. If by any chance a freelancer is reading this and needs help on anything related to being a free agent, feel free to message me! I would be more than willing to connect.

Filipino Freelance Marketplace Made Convenient

Nowadays, it is challenging to look for full time work. I should know this, as I am also a job seeker myself. The job market is very competitive, with the rise of technology and the skills that it demands. The corporate sector is still the most stable job to work in, but business process outsourcing has also resulted in a highly skilled workforce that is well-versed in remote work and specialized shared services. This has also brought about more options for job seekers, as online opportunities are literally just few taps away.

The rise of freelancing among Filipinos is no longer surprising, as many factors have prevented job seekers from committing to a full-time role. Circumstances such as family priorities, health, and traffic are just some of the leading reasons why freelancing has become the norm for many. To cater to this market, Rakuboss.ph was created. It is a Filipino freelance marketplace where project-based work can be accessible to many online, and where clients can hire freelancers to suit their requirements. Categories such as art, design, IT, programming, writing, translation, lifestyle, photography, videography, and even love advice can be found on the platform. Registration is free for both freelancers and clients, and this provides an avenue for more Filipinos to earn at their own pace, at their own time.

So whether you are a freelancer or a client in need of a specific service, consider registering at Rakuboss.ph and enjoy the convenience of getting things done!
