No, this is not a magic trick. Your eyes are working just fine 🙂

They are all blank spaces because this will be our topic on our upcoming FLIP Chat & Chill show, and we don't want to spoil the fun!

If you are an online freelancer, you are probably working with multiple clients at the same time, especially if you are only doing it part-time for at least one of them. If not, you are probably considering looking for additional clients, so you can earn more money, and practice more skills. But you might be hesitant because you're worried about how this would affect your current job.

You've also probably heard of some high-earning freelancers working 60, 70, and sometimes even 80 hours per week because they have more than one full-time job. How can they do that, you might ask? Do they have time to rest and relax? Is it worth it?

This is not a discussion of whether it's good or bad as each freelancer has their own strengths, skill sets, and strategies on how they will be able to handle their clients. Some types of jobs can be done while multitasking, while others require more focus.

Either way, there are some important considerations every freelancer should be aware of so they can be more effective in handling multiple clients, and doing multiple tasks.

Watch the replay here.

  1. Tama po si sir Niel, kaya next year goal ko is to get another computer and look for someone na taga dito sa amin na pwede kong turuan, mostly kasi dito sa amin gusto mg.work from home pero kapos sa budget, so for the meantime dito ko nlang muna sila tuturuan sa bahay so I can always monitor their work also 😊

  3. Any thoughts on inputs on the dillema of “Simon Smith” as posted a while ago on the FLIP FB page. In essence he has two “clients”. Perhaps Anna can further clarify as she also responded to the aforementioned post.

    1. Yes, Julie, employed siya (Simon Smith) but if you look at it, in a way client niya yung current employer niya - full-time - and second client niya yung part-time online client niya.

  4. Overflowing si Neil with info, with passion, and based from his experience yung mga shine-share niya. Great info/tips. So are the info/advice from Anna, Marian, Noe & Phoenix. Highly appreciated.

  5. Hello guys! I am quite reader and listener dito. And i would like to share my comment. I think for me ideal is 2 clients, one full-time and one part time. Kasi yung tasks is unpredictable. Unpredictable kasi minsan ang dami ng tasks minsan sobrang konti. Paano kung nagkasabay-sabay sila nag bigay ng tasks. Yun lang po thank you! 🙂

  8. Yung bad client experience ko before ni rate ako ng 1 star sa upwork on our first contract. In return I still gave him 5 star because I learned a lot with my experience working with him...

    After a year, kinontact niya ako kasi he saw how kind my feedback to him was (despite of him being rude to me).

    Now we renewed our contract and ny highest paying client na now 🙂

    Just Don't burn bridges. Walang unicorn client pero laging may kabayo na nabgangailangn ng damo 🙂

    1. I agree po sa "don't burn bridges." Kasi most of the time ugali naman talaga ang hinahanap ng client. Wala naman mawawala sa pagiging humble.

  9. May naging client ako na iniinsist na iend ko na lang yung contract kasi kapag siya daw ang nagend ay wala daw siya ilalagay kasi hindi daw nya ako kilala at ibibigay daw ay 1 star. She is calling for Upwork assistance to that matter. I got hurt that's why I gather all evidences and showed it to her. Then after I showed evidences. She was sorry and gave me a bonus as a compensation for confusion.

  10. An impressive share! I've just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me lunch because I found it for him... lol. So let me reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this issue here on your site.

  11. You are so cool! I do not believe I have read anything like that before. So nice to find another person with some genuine thoughts on this topic. Really.. thanks for starting this up. This site is one thing that's needed on the internet, someone with some originality.
