Up Your Game at the 3rd Freelancer Fair

Tuesday, August 21


Most of my friends and former colleagues have been asking me how I became a freelancer and how it's like to be one.

What exactly does it mean to be a freelancer? What does an aspiring freelancer do? Is it for me? How would you scale and brand your business? These questions are major roadblocks for many who want to become a freelancer. "My #1 tip for freelancers is to NETWORK!" -Marvin de Leon.

We strive to build a community of support and networking who can guide you through your road to becoming a freelancer. Well, you're in luck! The Freelancer Fair is here to give you tips of the trade to make sure you UP YOUR GAME this 2018. Who knows you can meet your future business partner or long-term friend here too.

The Freelancer Fair is here to shorten the learning curve of becoming a freelancer and ultimately give you the guide to achieve FREEDOM as a freelancer. Freelancers have the flexibility of creating their own schedule, removing the boring '9-5' corporate job, and increasing potential to become a top earner in your field. Freelancers are their own boss, which can be a pro or a huge con. You have a major responsibility to yourself to always grow your brand.

Here are some amazing topics this year


● The evolution of a freelancer: From Newbie to top earner

So You Want To Be A Freelancer?

Sunday, December 10


I often receive private messages on Facebook from some people in my network. They want to be a freelancer like me. Sino ba naman ang di maeengganyo kung madalas makita sa timeline ko eh kumakain ako sa kung saan saan na restaurant, nakikipag selfie sa artista, nagpo-post na status na "working in my pajamas" at kung anu-ano pa na nakakainggit lalo na kapag Lunes tulad ng "woke up at 10am" di ba? 

Ano ba latest freelance work-related status ko? 


Ni-post ko yan pagdating sa bahay kanina from my 4-day vacation. Yung mga bwisit na bwisit sa trabaho nila, I'm sure magme-message na naman. Remember this sutil post of mine last December 4, Monday?


Kse naman paulit-ulit yung mga status nyo eh. Baka sakali lang gusto nyo na baguhin ang takbo ng career nyo sa 2018. I've been in that situation eh.

I received the 7 Stages of…Good Grief! Freelancer na Ko?! book from my cousin Bleps kasama ng isang #petmalu na planner (another blog entry about the planner) just this morning during buffet breakfast sa Batis Aramin Resort sa Lucban, Quezon. Bakasyon grande kase kami. Onga pala, freelancer din si Bleps. Pamilya kase kami ng raketera eh. Prologue pa lang nababasa ko napabangon na agad ako at nagsulat ng blog entry. If you really know me, susme di mo ako mapapabangon after ko umuwi from vacation. Tulog galore ako for 2-3 days. Ibig sabihin, di ako makaintay para i-share sa inyo ang libro na ito.

Syempre, di ko naman isusulat dito yung laman ng book. Di ganun na share ibig ko sabihin. Ishe-share ko yung link san ka pwede bumili lalo na kung mahilig ka mag shop online kagaya ko.


Panigurado available din yan sa National Bookstore.

Kung di ka pa maka-decide kung gusto mo bumili, pagnilayan mo ito.

Has the idea of going freelance ever crossed your mind? 
Has the concept of freedom and flexibility ever tempted you?
Have you ever asked yourself, 
"Kaya ko kaya 'yun?"

Bili ka na ng 7 Stages of…Good Grief! Freelancer na Ko?! ni RacketChick. P150 lang. Ako nga na 3 years freelancer na, naniniwala na may mapupulot pa din akong kaalaman sa libro na ito eh.

BTW, di ko kilala si RacketChick.

Coinlancer: The Better Platform For Freelancers

Friday, October 20


Each year, more and more Filipinos are leaving their corporate jobs to work full-time online or become an online freelancer. Businesses worldwide are also creating more opportunities for these freelancers and online jobs such as virtual assistants, online researchers, data entry staff, writers, and designers. There are pros and cons for both employers and freelancers in this kind of setup. But most of the time, it is the freelancers who faced with issues such as huge fees and charges, disputes, account security and safety.

Coinlancer, a blockchain technology platform that protects freelancers and clients, was created by a team of like-minded people. Founded in August 2017, Coinlancer is registered with the British Virgin Islands and has its operations office in Dubai. 

Coinlancer was launched in the Philippines last October 17, 2017. It runs on Ethereum platform, a decentralized platform for applications that run exactly as programmed without any chance of fraud, censorship or third-party interference.

There will be 300 million pre-mined Coinlancer tokens available during the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) that started last October 14, 2017 at $0.25 per token and will end on November 15, 2017 tradable across exchanges. 

This new cryptocurrency platform will be beneficial to the growing number of Filipino online freelancers given its low transaction fee of only 3% compared with the usual 10% to as high as 20% charged by other freelancing platforms. The Coinlancer platform accepts  more than 20 cryptocurrencies including bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin.

Advantages of using Coinlancer

CL is primarily a utility token and can be utilized to avail services of the Coinlancer platform. However, token holders can issue CL tokens on Ethereum public blockchain or trade it with other digital or traditional currencies on exchange platforms. As the freelancing platform becomes popular among users, there will be a demand for more CL tokens which would thereby increase value for the existing token holders. (https://www.coinlancer.io/#faq)

Registering a Coinlancer account is FREE. However, you need to purchase Coinlancer tokens in order to transact on the platform. To register an account, click HERE.
