This is true. Ilang years na ko sa freelancing pero di ako nag eearn ng 6 digits every month hahaha. Mahirap din kase and I’m happy na din na I have long term clients which is more important rather than getting a high salary. Sa mga gustong mag freelance, you prepare yourself mentally and emotionally. Since you talk to clients directly, there will be times na baka di magustuhan work nyo. Dont be discouraged dahil don, instead use it as a motivation to learn more. 🤗

[@BritxSui]

Yes, thanks for sharing your experience + some tips and motivation, Boss Alex! Pumped for you 💪

[@karenannawa2913]

I couldn't agree more! Scary ang freelancing kasi anytime pwede mawala ang job mo, need to find multiple clients in a long term commitment, at diskarte! Need a lot of learning, bunch of research at dicipline talaga... right attitude towards your work and always give pride sa lahat ng trabaho mo ❤❤❤

[@BritxSui]

Yas! That's so true, Boss Karen 💯🙌

[@michaelclarin1808]

Great video especially for newbies. I'm a newbie as well, 1yr pa lng sa freelancing world. some big factors sa freelancing area para sa akin. - Niche. Graphics, Web developers or "VERY" unique skills. Yun ang mga malalaki ang bayad pero dpende parin sa portfolio mo. Kung ang skills mo ay CSR, Data entry, admin assistant - congested na masyado at medyo mahirap ang client at medyo mababa ang rate. - People posting about there 6 figures are already "tenure" in the freelancing world. 5yrs na or 10yrs na sa freelancing at marami ng client na nakuha at ang mga client nila ngayon ay due to referral na lng. Yung iba hindi na nag.aaply, nirerefer na lng sila ng client nila nuon. Kaya kung bago ka pa lng, dont expect na big income agad at may client agad. - job postings. Upwork, OLJ, Indeed, LinkedInm etc . Hindi rin madali makakuha ng client. Yung iba months before makakuha ng direct client. Kaya yung iba sa VA agency nag aaply para mas malaki ang chance makuha ng client.

[@BritxSui]

Hi Boss Michael! Thanks for sharing your insights! Glad to hear that you're 1 year na sa freelancing. Keep bossin' up, Boss 💪

Taking notes po Ms. Britx Sui 😊 Salamat po on making this video for beginners like me. I know na baka matagal pa ung time for u to read this. And hopefully po once na nabasa mo na, talagang pinagpupurisig ko tong freelancing din. I am a recent board passer po. Less than 3mos na, wala pa rng work sa hospital hehe pero i passedmy documents over 2months na prior to my verification of my license hehe. May pressure po with family, lalo pag toxic pa ung ere. Pero okay lang, laban lang. Kahit may frustrations, bc adulting sucks mygad! Madame, manonood ako work vlogs mo sometime! ;) See! I also hope na mag grow ang KZbin channel mo po and ipagpatuloy niyo lamang po ung heartfelt, and sincere na intentions niyo po with your viewers. Salamat!

[@BritxSui]

Hello Boss! Congrats on passing the board 👏 I'm excited to see you boss up in online freelancing too! Rooting for you 💪

[@sarahdizon6088]

I also want to enter freelancing but I don't have experience. My fear is that I don't have the confidence to do it but thank you for your video for encouraging me.

[@bestshortsinsportshd]

This is all facts, as a newbie I really expect the worst thats why we really need to practice and be ready for what might happen along the way however guys do not overthink..Boss Sui I really apreciate if you give me a project even without payment or anyone who sess this that has a bussiness. It's a favor to favor Boss like a Win Win situation. I just want something to add to my Portfolio😢

[@Otits1023]

Pero minsan kung maganda ka isang ngiti lang rockstar na agad. Tama po ba madam?

[@AngelicaAIgup]

Watching this dahil nasa phase nanaman ako now if I have to leave my teaching job kasi na-establish ko na yung freelance ko. Huehue pero andon pa rin yung takot sa risk. Ako rin po yung isa sa mga follower niyo last year at naabot ko na yung phase na parang fulltime na ang freelance ko + day job kaya di ko alam if mag-let go na ba sa day job😭

[@BritxSui]

I suggest building an emergency fund first, Boss. So that you could have peace of mind in case you finally decide to transition na full time sa freelance. Happy to see you bossin' up, Boss Angel 💪

[@IndaySoloLivingAdventures]

Lahat naman sa umpisa hindi mabilis. As for me as an aspiring feelancer and still employed, what I do currently is I STILL KEEP MY EMPLOYMENT. Because that is my ESSENTIAL INCOME. While being employed sinasabay ko yung studying and I do invest time learning things about freelancing.

[@BritxSui]

So happy to know that you're now preparing to boss up, Boss Liberty! 🙌

Kaya hindi ko mabitawan yung work ko dito. So ginawa kong part-time ang freelancing. Mahirap pero mas mahirap kung magreresign ako tapos part time Lang ako. Di pa ako sure if long time to. Tapos nagbabayad kapa ng bahay, tubig at ilaw.

[@BritxSui]

Yes, it's best to secure first ang emergency fund before really transitioning completely into freelancing. Great move, Boss! Pumped for you 💪

[@eun2197]

Sa #3 din, not sure kung tama pagkakaintindi konti. Minsan kasi 2 hrs lang binigay but you're actually doing it for more than 2 hrs. Lalo na sa mga SMM dyan na may client na napakahirap gawan ng content kasi they're very specific to their request. 😂😅 Iniyakan ko pa yan kasi feeling ko hindi worth it yung ginagawa ko, feeling ko hindi ako nag iimprove.. Pinagdadaanan pala talaga sya lalo na pag newbie ka. May ganon palang stage.😅 Thanks to you Boss Sui. Nareregain ko yung self confidence and namomotivate uli ako by watching your videos. Umh. Do you have any idea po ba about SEO?

[@user-vv9ni1cn9r]
