"Good news! Your Upwork profile has been approved!
Even better news! You just got hired to do part time work with flexible hours and fixed rate."
Are you on cloud nine now?
"Wait! Do I need to tell my client that I have a day job? Or should I keep it a secret?
"How do you find the time to work additional jobs when you already have so much on your plate?"
"How can I stay energized and be more focused on my side gig when I'm also working full time?"
These questions are probably troubling you right now if you are still transitioning from a corporate work setting to full time online freelancing.
Don't worry. These are valid concerns and we're here to help.
1. First of all, you need to sit down and plan ahead. Life is not all about work. Make sure that you are giving yourself enough time to spend on other important things that you can't afford to neglect.
- How much time do you need to accomplish your tasks?
- Do you have enough time for rest and recreation?
- What events and occasions in the next few weeks and months do you need to attend that are non-negotiable? How will this affect your work schedule?
2. Legally and ethically, you should try to keep your day job and your freelancing work as separate as possible. Avoid multitasking. You might think that this is counterproductive but if you'll give it a try, you'll realize that not only is it the right thing to do. It also keeps you more focused and energized.
3. Write your goals and hold yourself accountable.
What is your target side income?
- How much time and effort are you willing to commit to make this happen?
- What are you willing to give up in order to achieve your goals?
- Do you have a friend or support system that can help you stay focused and hold you responsible in case you miss your targets?
These are just some of the things you need to consider when you are trying to juggle freelancing and your day job. I'm sure there's still so much we can talk about.
Why don't you come join our upcoming FLIP Chat & Chill session this Monday so we can discuss this topic more extensively? It's happening same time (5PM), same social media channel (FLIP).
You can invite your friends to join us, too!
See you there!

Hello po! Super late pero ulitin ko na lang panoodin mamaya. Planning to enroll po sa bootcamp
Enroll na po kayo
Hello MIss Lany Macasaet Reyes, KIndly Check this link po https://vabootcamp.ph/wfhfreevacourse-com/?fbclid=IwAR1K7xYAgg_nYkasx5P_adbFSYmXbki66tHGFUOxXsEAlU-1r2__Wdhsq6A
for me, dahan2x sa pag complete ng mga gamit like laptop, headsets, back ups and other electronics before transitioning to freelance. invest in high quality na mga gamit and educate yourself. Para at least pag transition mo, ang stressor mo na lang is yung interview process, time management and enhancing your skill sa task mo.
Maam Anna tska lng naniwala skin asawa ko nung nagsweldo na ako , hangng s pangalawang buwan sbi nya scam yan e nung nakuha nya n uli ung sahod ko ay totoo pla
True Ms. Anna ndi biro ang freelancing kaya nakakahanga po kau na mga successful s field na ito

Real Talk by Sir Phoenix Jackson
Hello po. I agree na dapat kasama ang mga tao sa bahay na to cooperate, regardless kung corporate o freelancing. Kasi based on experience, kahit nasa corporate pa ko, may mga tasks talaga ang mga anak ko at hubby ko sa bahay. mas naireiterate pa nung nasa bahay ako, kasi nandito ako sa bahay. si mommy kasi nakabantay..
we really need to communicate na we still need help from them. Ginagawa naman natin to para sa future at ekonomiya!
I remember when I started freelancing last 2018, ayaw nilang maniwala lahat, nung binilhan ako ng laptop ng client ko, sabi nila baka ano na ibig sabihin niyan nung nag. 6 months na ako sa freelancing at nakita nila na may sweldo nga talaga, dami na nilang tanong if papaano daw maging freelancer
Still waiting for my “epiphany moment” when to leave and go full time 🙂
Hehe natamaan ako dun Den Torrefiel di n ko pwede pumasok ng taiwan sa loob ng 2 years dahil sa hindi ko tinapos amg contrata ko at inuna ko n agad ang family at freelancing ko kaya wag n wag nyo ko gagayahin
Haha... Ok lng Yan noh.. Gusto ko tlg Kc Tapusin muna bago ako umalis...
Encourage na lng sila magfreelance hehe
Sa 'kin naman, I decided to resign kasi hindi ko talga makayanan. Sa VAB na nga, nahihirapan na ako na pinagsabay. I have HB kasi simula nong pregnant kaya takot akong ma-stress masyado. I have my hubby's support but I know he is doubtful until now especially that wala pang client. I need to have one so I can prove to him that I've chosen the right path. Still hustling!
my daughter is a freelancer and hindi rin ganun kadali specially mga anak nya 12 lang eldest and 1 yr old youngest at 4 sila. i agree with anna, hindi ganun kadali, it takes a lot of patience and bilib ako sa tyaga ng anak ko. naka one year na sya and imagine breastfeeding while on online job
May entry ako: "Balakayo jan"
ganun din ako Ms. Denden may nagtanung s akin what daw tinitinda ko? 🙂
Hello po, first time qo po manuod dito nang ganito ka tagal, sa time po na parang nagtatanong na ako kung para po ba talaga sakin ung pag ho homebase job,pro dahil sa mga sinabi nyu po ngayon Maam Ana and Sir Phoenix, nabuhayan po ako ulit at na motivate. Thank you po
Totoo ms denden.. laging nasa isip nila online seller kapag sinabing may online job ka..
Sabi skn grbe sa kurtina dollar kita mo
One of the good thing about freelancing lang is dati yung kapatid ko na may duda if okay ba talaga yung freelancing is ngayon intern ko na, and just last day nag.ka.part time client na xa
Kaka.resign niya lang sa corporate work niya last month
What can you advise freelancers who experience "stay-at-home-depression".
try working at a co-work space 🙂 baka extrovert ang freelancer
Attend meetups or organize your own
Ngaun nalang ulit ako nkanood ng live nyo
Thanks kahit na late ako at least nakahabol pa din po na makapanuod...
Watch JasSuccess storieseses... And you will be convinced.. I got the chance to watch many jassuccess stories when I became intern admin in VAB, and editing JasSuccess is a worthwhile experience and everyone's story became my inspiration
Good thing may husband is very open minded when it comes about job also our eldest daughter, hired na rin sa upwork pero hindi pa kami naghahanap ng client kc hindi pa stable ang aming enternet
Watching my wife right now
if part time po ba ang client po ba mag bigay ng oras kung kelan ka magwork for them or ako po mag offer ng time for work?
Gustong gusto ko tlaga nanonood dito.. dami ko na nmn natutunan
sa sobrang traffic nowadays, i believe home based job and freelancing is a better option.
Tama miss sheryl kailangan talaga ng maayos na cgnal sa enternet
depression is common especially for those who cant have clients after a month of applying
Ms. Ana pede po ba kayo maka chat as a begginner? 🙂
ON DEPRESSION. mas depressing yata ang lagi ka nata-traffic... gigising maaga tapos halos ilang oras ang travel.. aalis ka ng house tulog pa mga anak mo then pag uwi mo tulog na rin sila
nauubos oras dahil sa traffic
ay, gusto ko yung tsina-chopstick ang chips..
hi rose share mo rin sa iba natin kasama dati this link
Nabitin din aq dun sa free access na binigay ni sir jayson nung edsa day
Parang ang hirap mag-focus when you have a day job then a freelance job tapos you’re also the homemaker. How to do it all simultaneously without getting burnt out?
nakaka burn out tlg and we dont have a choice but to roll up our sleeves hanggang bhy kasi marme dmdepende satn
Freelancing is a blessing because it enables families to be financially free while enhancing family time. More people are able to do things together as a family.
Thank you sa inyong lahat.
