A survey was done by Payoneer among thousands of freelancers.
Specifically, freelancers were asked to share how COVID-19 has impacted the demand for their services, their hourly rates, and what opportunities and risks they expect will arise from the crisis.
Here's what they found out.
1. Demand for freelancers has dropped in the short-term.
Around 32% said the demand has decreased.
BUT...
23% of freelancers reported that businoess has remained as usual, with an additional 17% saying that *demand has actually increased* during this period.
2. Freelance hourly rates remain stable.
Despite the fact that some said the demand has dropped, a large majority shared that their rates have remained stable.
3. The future of freelancing post-COVID looks bright.
As our economy faces one of the toughest times in history, you might be thinking — what's next?
Will the economy prevail?
More than 50% of freelancers agree that the demand will increase.
Sounds great, right?

Mauna na ako mag-ask ng question, re survey of Payoneer presented by Jason in the email invite for this topic? How does this transcend to/reflect Pinoy freelancers? Is the trend applicable to Pinoy freelancers?

Hi Jason, apologies, I am unsure of the survey as to where or which country, but I am referring to this (what you mentioned in the email invite you sent earlier for this topic - see as follows a potion of your email - "A survey was done by Payoneer among thousands of freelancers.

What a nice problem nung kay Mommy Liberty, may pera ka pero di ka makalabas 😀
Naapektuhan din po ba ng pandemic ang vab?
Nakakamiss mag grocery
Korak, mommy duties! Ang sarap talaga mag grocery
Haynaku, relate ako dyan much re grocery buying for the wife - mahirap talaga.
In my case po ang mga bata stay in s bhy so more work s bhy before mkastart mag work luto meals, meryenda. Tapos ndi nga po cla now mautusan lumbas bawal. Panay gadgets wala nmn pong ibang choice. Walang ibang activities.
Ngayon ko naisip ang outside world... It's been a while 😀
Hahaha ang sarap pa naman sa feeling na nasa grocery
Aha, revelation from Phoenix, HR goes out, and for dates at that hahaha
Helo po sa inyo lahat jan

2 yesrs is the most optimistic, in line with the projected vaccine with 95% efficiency agsinst COVID 19 by Bill Gates which they are developing
Tama si po Mam Liberty
Ano po insights niyo about the nangyayari ngayon sa US particularly the war. I really hope it won't affect our business too.
Here's my personal experience:
A couple of months before I was bound to come back to the Philippines (from South Korea), the whole world seemed to be freaking out about South and North Korea war. My friends and I had to send so many frustrating emails telling our families we're doing more than fine. In fact, we were going out dancing and partying and no talk about the war was going on.
Even when I finally came home, some of my friends insisted that I was sent home by the country because South Korea was preparing for an all-out war.
My point is to not worry too much. If the clients's businesses is going, there shouldn't be a worry.
Thanks for the clarification, Jason Dulay, so this means that there will be more opportunities still for incoming freelancers, especially those coming out of the VAB?
Mamu...pwede po magpacoach...
Yes, they do the coaching after mo maggraduate sa VAB. Si Ms. Bong coach ko sya right ow 🙂
*now
Yes totally agree to Mam Bong.
Oh mommy liberty can we connect? 🙂
Sabi ko sayo miss Bong Isleta, may interest pa din

Ikain mo na lang yan phoenix para mawala yang pagkapikon mo hahaha
Same tau Ms.A
Upgrade skills talaga.. invest sa mga paid courses
Haha puro seller na
Kita kits ulit
"Invest in yourself so that others may want to invest in you too" May nakita akong ganyang quote at talaga naman totoo 🙂
Coaches, gaano po katagal ung adjustment period ng isang bagong freenlancer, kasama na ung schooling mo for your skills until getting your first client po - from corporate world then shifting to freelancing?
Kaya lang saan ba talaga napupunta ang taxes? Worth it kaya? Or worh it lang sa mga kurakot? Masarap naman kasi talaga makatulomg eh.
I'd like to think more on what I'd personally benefit, tangible benefits, from paying taxes as a freelancer. It's a difficult practice because we surely want to know where our money is going to. But since it's inevitable and something we more likely cannot object to, I'd prefer to exploit it to my advantage.
Katulad ng mga examples ni Ms. Liberty.
I recommend you figure out what you can get away with paying taxes that could satisfy you as a person. Sometimes "helping the country" is just too vague and "it helps to get a visa" sounds more fulfilling.
I really love your intelligeable statements. And your straight english. 🙂
Kita Kits.. Jassuccess
Yes to Ms. Ana
Agree po Ms. Anna.
Agree. Depende sa commitment and aggressiveness mo to take action.
Naku totoo yan Ms. Bong
Thank you coaches.
+1 kay Ms. Bong
Mismo ms. Bong, mas okay ang step-by-step
That's me 🙂
Congrats Ms. Jeelene.
Tama po si Coach Bong, self-paced kasi ang VAB kaya depende po sa amin when to take action
Nebran Lsola agree!
Yun yung gusto ko sa freelancing po, kung saan ka masaya magagawa mo 🙂
Plus plus to Mamu Liberty 😀
Iba talaga mga writers!
This job is for those who are industrious and focus
Re Mamu, I aleays reca yung isang sinabi niya, writer siya, she has a “fertile mind” 😀
*recall
This new normal daw gives us opportunities, we have a “new/blank slate” to work on.
True, what Phoenix mentioned re FLIP and VAB online community - make the most of what are available from there.
Thank you ,At Gintu for appreciating my comments
