Madaming nawalan ng trabaho during the pandemic.
Yung iba hanggang ngayon di pa din nakakahanap ng work or alternative source of income.
Some of them have given up in despair while some took the risk and explored other opportunities.
It’s not easy to face your fears and explore unfamiliar territories.
Not everyone can handle their problems or trials with grace.
But we need to remember there’s a blessing behind every challenge.
Let go of these hard times and let life strengthen you.
Keep on going even if you’re having a tough day, a bad month, or a crappy year.
Things always get a little challenging before you can enjoy the benefits.
Endure and wait patiently for the rewards.
Level UP.
Meet Cristina.
She used to work as a sales officer for a finance company.
During the pandemic, she was laid off from work but she considered it as a blessing of disguise.
It prompted her to explore alternative or new opportunities for earning money.
She armed herself with the right equipment and invested in the VA Bootcamp course for further knowledge and learning.
She used her separation pay to invest on her own education and betterment.
She bravely took a risk and it paid off handsomely.
Be inspired by her courage, perseverance, and faith, on this replay.
Introduction
Cristina at the age of 19 graduated high school and started to work in the corporate world as a service crew, Saleslady, and production operator.
She lost her job during the pandemic and enrolled VABootcamp to pursue freelancing to have more time for her kids.
She is now a successful Social media manager, Video creator, and editor.
Notable Quotes:
Cristina Abello’s Journey to Freelancing
Sa tingin mo Cristina was it a good decision na makisabay sa uso?
Oo kasi trending sya, hindidi nmn lahat nagging successful and at least na try mo. Kung may mga bagong trending try mo lang kasi malay mo dun ka pala mag “bo-boom” tapos pinabayaan mo, so di ka nakasabay sa pag.angat
Anong niche na kinuha nyo sa VA Bootcamp?
Ang dami like E-commerce, SMM, pero nagfocus ako sa Social Media Manager kasi yun ang nasa puso ko.
What made your husband decide na magtrabaho sa labas ng bahay and made own studio?
Mas productive daw siya sa ganung set up at nakakapag-isip siya ng mabuti doon and since andito rin naman na ako as “mommy” I can take care of my kids.
When it comes to content creation, marami nauubusan ng inspirasyon or idea, Is there a secret to that?
Kung anu yung trending or yung content mo is for kids kasi di ka mauubusan ng content kasi madami sya.
Ano ang pinakamahirap pag create ng content and tell us about your experience sa paggawa ng script?
Script ang pinakamahirap. Base sa experience ko may ibibigay lang sa akin na title at ako na mag elaborate at ang ginagamit ko lng na source ay youtube at google.
Bakit hanggang ngayon ay client mo pa rin ang asawa mo?
Worth it naman ang binabayad niya sa akin at para di n ako maghanap ng client.
Paano ba magkapera sa facebook at youtube?
Be consistent at nagkakaroon ng ads yung video na kinicreate once na mamonetize at magpapadala ng email si youtube paano ka nila babayaran through ads. May mga business owners na mag rereach out to insert ads sa video like about 5 secs. Same sa facebook kung mapapansin nyo nagkakaroon na rin sya ng ads para kumita. At kung meron kang followers meaninng meron ka nang viewers na naghihintay.
