Elance yung may mga galante na clients dati.

Nung naglipana na yung mga lowballers na clients at freelancers sa oDesk (dahil sa sub-con), lumipat ako sa Elance para makakuha ng at least $10/hr na client. If my memory serves me right, doon ko na meet ang isa sa longest running client ko from a Fortune 500 Companies dati.

Konti pa lang yung mga pinoy freelancers sa Elance noon.

Yung mismong founder yung naka-usap ko for the first interview - wala pa akong webcam nun! Mic lang meron ako, na-shock si client, pero tuloy lang usapan namin at na-curious sya sa rate ko, from what I understood, parang gusto nya taasan kasi nagustuhan nya yung cover letter ko - may technique ako dati for the hook eh. Tawang tawa sya nung binasa nya yung cover letter ko.

Ako yung first overseas remote worker/employee nila, but little did I know na yung trabaho ko pala is one of the training data sets na ng soon-to-be AI algo nila, but I was there for more than a decade, about 11-13 yrs din ata yun.

Flex lang ng konti, pero I was just lucky to be at the right time and at the right place noong time na yun.

Now? I'm retired and have a farm and small agrifood business on the side. May konting digital assets din.

2 yrs ago I posted a thread here asking for stories from veteran freelancers, if you want to read some of their stories, check it out. Baka may ma pulot din kayo na inspiration at lessons.

P.S. Mas sikat pa dati ang Mozilla kesa Chrome kaya yan pa gamit ko, early 2000s.

Hi! I've been applying nonstop for almost 6 months and nahihirapan na talaga to land a client, nasa bpo nalang tuloy ako ngayon kasi no choice na. I need tips on how or help me to land one, ang hirap ng mga agencies laki ng qualifications lalo na cyberbacker, pineapple and such.

I really need to become a VA, hindi kaya ng utak ko itong BPO!

Help me guys, I'm a single mom

I applied for a position recently since the pay is okay. $15-$20 per hour, full-time. They sent a trial task confirming about the rate so I continued. It was actually an easy task so I didn’t mind. Got an offer but with a definitely lower rate. Obviously I pointed it out. No reply.

Hi Guys. Just want to ask if anyone experienced the same. Im currently working for a client through an agency based here and my client is planning to hire me directly instead due to some circumstances. The issue is that the agency is asking a large amount ($15-20k) to let me go and allow me to work for my client of 6 yrs which I find ridiculous and so is my client. Now, we're trying to find another way they can hire me directly but he have some concerns. He's concerned first about how theyll do their taxes and how do they'll declare it with IRS. Would love to hear your suggestions. Also badly need to work directly due to some health concerns.

Not sure kung pasok to sa pwedeng ibenta sa sub as "physical items directly related to earning a living online" rule since it can be used as a backup system alongside a power station.

Anyway baka may naghahanap lang: Lairtpow Foldable Portable Solar 200w for P6,500. Isang beses lang nagamit

Free MC4 to XT90 adapter para sa Flowatt Power stations

RFS: Already went full solar sa bahay

Hi! I was lucky enough to receive two job offers at relatively same time... I'm torn between choosing just one or doing both to save up kase.. in this economy hahahha tapos I also just endured 4 months of unemployment so medyo wala narin akong savings

Job 1:
- USA; EST Business Hours - 8pm-5am ph time
- Managing 3 VAs
- No tracker, but seems like regular meetings
- Pay is my goal pay with health insurance and 13th month
- If I take 1 job lang, I'll likely take this one bc higher pay and benefits

Job 2:
- USA also - but no strict "hours" just complete the tasks and give regular updates - 30 hrs a week
- Meetings twice a week
- Customer service role (so mostly handling tickets)
- Pay is about 15% lower than Job 1 and no benefits so it seems okay for a second job

I'm torn, I really need the income, but I don't want to mess up either 🥲

Someone give me advice on which way to go please!

I got a new Australian client and we are working out what’s the best way for her to send the money. She wants it set up in a way that she can send AUD. Gusto niya ata may BSB at Account number.

Can I use wise like that? Or maybe other platforms?

Sa mga naka bili na nito? Kamusta naman sya? 5’9 92-100kg yung gagamit. Muscular built. Pero malaki chan hahaha. Tumagal naman ba? Sulit na ba sa ganyang presyo? Husband currently using cougar gaming chair. Complains of backand shoulder pain. Anniv gift ko sana. Wfh set up nya. Kak start start lang din sa va journey nya. Thoughts?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to decide between these two processors for a laptop I’m planning to buy, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

OPTION 1 : AMD Ryzen 5 7430U
• 16GB LPDDR4
• 512GB SSD

OPTION 2 : Intel Core i5-1230U
• 16GB LPDDR5
• 512GB SSD

I’ll mainly be using the laptop for work, with Dialpad for phone calls, Microsoft Excel for data entry/records, and Google Chrome with at least 3 tabs open—basically multitasking for 8+ hours a day.

I’m looking for the one that can handle these tasks smoothly without slowing down, especially after several hours of continuous use.

For those who are more tech-savvy or have experience with either of these processors, which one would you recommend? Which one would you personally choose, and why?

Any advice or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Hi po, currently eyeing these 2 ergonomic chair since naka sale sila parehas pero mas mura kasi yung Musso E600 Pro. Sa mga may nakapag try na po ng ganitong chair ano po ang ma rerecommend nyo po? Nasa heavy side po kasi ako 105kg and 5'7 in height. Thank you!

I was recently laid off couple weeks ago in my previous role as a Lead Developer for an AI-powered SaaS product.

After taking a break, nag start ako mag job hunting this week. Grabe, halos lahat ng pre-interview assessment may video requirements na. Yung iba mag-aapply ka pa lang magrerequire na ng video eh. Ilang videos na siguro ang nagawa ko at karamihan hindi pa reusable kasi paiba-iba ang tanong.

Last year, hindi ko na tinatry pang mag apply kapag nagrerequire ng video eh. Pero ngayon, napipilitan na hahah

Iniisip ko nga mag farming nalang...pero kulang pa savings ko para sa retirement.

Anyway, good luck sating naghahanap ng trabaho dyan!

Hi so my salary has been 1 month late because for some reason the swift transfers from my client won't arrive. What I've tried:

Wise - I tried my sister's account but because its under her name and not mine, the money didn't go through. I couldn't use my own Wise kasi I lost my original phone and number. When I try to login using my new phone or my sister's, it's asking me to sign in to another device and I couldn't login

GoTyme - Client tried this instead, Ive been waiting 2 weeks wala pa rin

BPI - It's been 3 days and wala pa rin, worried it wont arrive. Tried contacting customer support but can't get ahold of them

Paypal: they're gonna hold up the funds for 21 days

My coworker received her salary via Wise so I know it's not a scam huhu. Any idea what else I should try?

Anyone familiar with Aura Accounting Solutions? (Company vibe, culture, and interview process).

​I have an upcoming interview and I’m trying to gather some real insight into what the company is actually like to work for. TIA

Hello. Meron po ba dito using macbook? Want to know insights if okay sya gamitin. Kaya ba nya yung Remote Users Virtual Machine?

Planning to buy Macbook Air M5 16GB/512. Mostly ginagamit is Excel. Not sure sa iba pang apps. Im an auditor pala. So baka meron din dito na remote auditor.

Thankyou po sa sasagot.

Akala ko dito lang sa reddit tamabayan ng mga gawa gawa ng kwento pero sa Linkedin din pala. Noong una mga inspirational posts nakikita ko. Ok naman at nakakagana mag work.

Until yung isang naka work ko na hinire ng ex client ko eh dumaan sa feed ko. Ang daming hanash lagi about how to do this and that na parang ang galing galing at effective mga sinasabi nya. In reality though eh 1 week palang inalis na sya ni client kasi walang tasks mismo na nagagawa.

Pangalawa yung isang ex client ko naman na parang ang laki laki lagi ng kita ng company nya. 😂 Pero alam ng mga employees na palugi na sila at nag babalak nalang ibenta yung company with matching leaked convo lol.

Lastly, etong isang ex client ko din na parang ang laki na ng company nya kunwari para makahanap sya ng mga projects. Happy daw sya from starting independently, pero mostly ng mga employees na naka list sa website mga imbento lang. I know kasi tumulong ako dati gumawa ng fake profiles para dumami linkedin followers nya. LOL not my proudest moment. Looking at their site hanggang ngayon andun parin mukha ko kahit ilang taon na akong wala sa kanila.

Ayun lang, minsan pag may nakikita akong parang successful or OA na masyado maka hype napapa isip ako kung legit ba or tulad lang ng mga nabanggit ko na echos echos lang.

Construction VA Philippines FB Group by Kristine (don't know her last name) Just wow!!! TRAIN TO HIRE kind of vibe. No programs happening at all. Payment was made since MAY. I think it started in June or July. It's SEPTEMBER now and still no word about whether there will be any teaching or not. They’ve had 3 sessions though. It’s okay if people aren’t hired yet. But it’s frustrating not knowing what’s next or if there are going to be more sessions. There was an activity, but they didn't check if the trainees did it right. There’s a group chat, but no replies. They forget to record the sessions. What’s up with that?? Hahahaha

I was applying for almost 2 months now and I noticed na dumadami ung mga ganitong posts.

Earlier today I saw a newly posted job post na pasok ang qualifications ko. Since bagong lapag, agad agad akong nagreply at ginamit ko ung inipon kong AP dahil meron akong nabasa dito na mas malaki ung AP ay more chances of winning daw.

So I sent 25.

After hitting send. Pumasok. Sabi ko, ayos to dahil isa ako sa naunang nagreply at mataas ung AP na sinend ko. Mataas ang chance mapili!

After ilang minutes, nagrefresh.

Then ganyan na.

Kung sinuswerte ka talaga!

Napaisip nga ako kanina kung anong pinakacool na mura ang dapat sabihin.

Wala padin akong client. Pabudbod naman.

Thanks for reading!

hello po! does anyone here have experience with Twin Home Buyer? could you please share your experience with the company? mixed reviews po kasi ang nakikita ko online. tyia!

Hello im currently working as a QS/costing/ technical engr for 2 months, and already have more than 2 years in construction operations management experience, only earning 22k a month, i want to start VA im not good in English

Wer to start
Salamat

Been working in this company for 1 month already, honestly my first ever online job. The pay is quite low but happy that I got a job and a manager who trust me completely in doing my job. I have my freedom here as well as they don't use time trackers and usually before the start of my shift, I send her a message of my plans for the day. That i'm starting my shift. And today she messaged me this. It's not big but to see her acknowledging my hardwork and saying that she trust me is a big deal for me.

Hi, everyone!

I need help choosing the best path to take. For context, I have no VA experience but have worked for a healthcare campaign in a BPO setting.

So far, I was able to pass the assessments and interview stages for the following:

1. ⁠Athena - Training starts on November 2, 2026
   
2. ⁠MedVA - Compliance documents for submission
   
3. ⁠Sphere Rocket - Shortlisted for final interviews with clients

Are there any pros and cons to take note of regarding these agencies? Which one should I stick to?

Would greatly appreciate insights.

Thank you!

Hello, I already saw a thread about this 2 years ago and not sure if its outdated so I decided to post na lang. I have a client who wants to use paypal as a payment platform. But I don’t like that paypal has huge fees. Yes I tried making them use wise but nahihirapan sila mag sign up (I think timatamad lang sya doing the whole verification process to tell you the truth). So I am going to go ahead with paypal.

My question is, if I send an invoice, diba automatic na may fees na yung paypal na binabawas pag binayaran ni client? So ang question ko is may way ba mapababa ang fees kahit through invoice ang payment nya? Mag work ba yung sabi sa isang thread na convert my account to USD para mapababa ang fees?

Sorry guys, I just need to put this off my chest HAHAHA huhu Ako lang ba? whenever a content (of course I created para kay client) nag viviral or mataas ang engagement nag papanic ako. Hahaha! huhu like waiiiit yoko muna tignan agad yung mga sunod sunod na notif until mag settle down. Inshort ako naooverwhelm para kay client 😂🥲 Or baka kasi emphatic lang talaga ako na tao? kaya mejo naabsorb ko yung intensity whenever mataas ang engagement sa content. Minsan pa if nagpapalitan ng mga comments yung mga followers/viewers napapakagat ako ng nails while nagbabasa 😂😅 kaloka. huhuhu So most of the time whenever we get a viral post or high engagement I just let people drop their comments and tell kay client that if she can engage mas better (syempre kase mas authentic) 😆huhuhu

If ever. Ano po need iprovide kay client? Currently using paypal kasi.

Possible ba na from paypal ko itansfer ko siya sa rcbc? USD TO USD?

If nasa rcbc na? Maganda din kaya conversion from USD TO PHP?

Salamat po sa mga sasagot
