@SnowBall,

May nabasa ako na pinoy student, kumikita sa oDesk. PDF file conversion ginagawa nya. Tapos sa isang blog, nabasa ko yung mother nya na 60+ years old na walang alam sa computer, nabigyan nya ng work sa oDesk.

Sa oDesk naman, may nabasa ako dun na agency, puro student sila, may nakukuha naman sila ng mga trabaho.

May nagpost dito way back several pages, yung husband nya, walang alam sa web design at graphic design. Within 3 months, kumikita na sa oDesk dahil masipag daw mag-aral.

Yung brother ko walang training sa graphic design. Gumagawa lang sya ng mga flyers para sa tindahan nya para pag may sale, may alam ng kaunti. Malakas loob, sumubok sa oDesk, test lang daw dahil nga mahina na benta sa tindahan nya. Nag-aral ng Photoshop habang may nakukuhang mga client. Inaplayan nya yung tingin nyang kaya nya. Ngayon hataw na sya. Nagsimula sya sa technical writing, 1 job lang. Nagsubok sya sa data entry sa excel, naloko. Sa graphics sya sunod sunod nakakuha ng clients. Puro aral na ginagawa ngayon.

May istorya sa oDesk blog, baka makakuha ka ng inspiration lalo na kung sa graphic field ka interesado. Eto yung link.
https://www.odesk.com/blog/2012/06/bangladesh-an-online-work-success-story/

Ang iniisip ko na lang sa sa oDesk para hindi ako ma-insecure sa mga expert at professional ay ganito: I don't need to be the best in oDesk to earn. All I need to do is find a match for my current skills with the ideal hourly rate for a client who will be willing to pay for that level of skill. Tingin ko sa oDesk, parang isang malaking market place. May market para sa mga expert at professionals na yung mga client nila willing magbayad ng premium. May market din para sa mga amateurs o entry level na skills na yun lang kaya i-afford ng ibang mga client. Meron din market yung mid-range level na skills, na kaya ng mga client, hindi sobra mahal, hindi rin sobra mura.

Habang ma-hire ng pailan ilan, tuloy naman sa pagdevelop ng skills para madagdagan ang kaalaman. Eto po tip ko. Kaya ako napasok sa oDesk dahil nabasa ko yung isang internet cafe na nagshift sa oDesk. Nakita ko yung agency nila, nasa top 20 na daw sila.  Ang daming contractors at ang specialty nila ay data entry. :)

Hi mga sis,
I hope hindi ako mawarningan dahil dito.
For those still looking for their first feedback, I can help.
I have a personal website project that needs a lot of web research.
Industry: Metro Manila Salons, Spas, Skin Centers (e.g Davids, Let's Face It etc.)

So if anyone is interested, I can hire you in odesk.
I have an open job there but I thought of offering it here as well to help some of sissies.
I am not subcontracting, personal project ko talaga ito about that niche here in the Philippines.
I don't have lots of budget but I don't have strict deadlines din.
Hindi naman siguro ako magbibigay ng mababang feedback kasi the job is really easy.

Just PM me if you're interested.  ;D

Hi mga sis.. Newbie here sa community and also dreaming of becoming a freelancer.. I have accounts with remotestaff, odesk, elance and freelance.. Although hindi pa masyado maayos mga accounts ko dun sa last three.. Pero they've been sending me job alerts.. Nag-bid na ako sa ilang projects yesterday pero wala pa ako nare-receive na email.. Sana naman magka-work na ako kasi I'll be giving birth this coming November, halos wala pang ipon.. :( I'm starting to get depressed.. Due to my heart condition kasi hindi na pwede mag-work outside, home based na lang muna talaga.. Share ko lang mga sis..

I was able to work ng patakas kahapon :D Hope magawa ko pa din yun today hehe sayang kasi ang time eh at syempre ang earnings. Another great thing was, ng umuwi asawa ko, check daw namin odesk account nya at baka may maghire na sa kanya! Natuwa lang ako kasi atleast interested na sya. No choice na kasi sya kasi ang daming gastusin sa bahay tapos wala man lang pumapasok na pera samin. Disappointed kasi sya sa naging turn nung networking business nya kaya ngayon napapaisip na sya at mag aapply na kung saan may hiring! :D Happy lang ako, ng konti hehe Thank God!

@seTHer,

Ipabasa mo yung mga success stories ng mga contractors para makita nya yung potential ng oDesk. Pati yung possible kita sa pagtatayo ng agency as a business. Little or no capital required, just skills, time and a lot of effort.

^yes. at kung ayaw nya basahin, kwentuhan mo lagi ng mga success stories. di naman yata kumakain ng masyadong time ang networking nya e. di naman siguro masama kung pareho nya i-pursue. para na rin 2 ang source of income nya if ever di ba?

Sorry OT pero naiinis ako at nadidpressed.  Mayabang na daw ako sabi ng hubby ko kasi ako ang kumikita.  Nag away lang kami dahil lang sa kung sino ang nagpaligo ng bata! May goodness, pasalamat daw ako at tinutulungan niya ako mag asikaso ng kids. 

Kaya mula ngayon, siya na bahala sa gastusin at business.  Kasi sya naman ang padre de pamilya.  Siya magtrabaho! Nakakainis, bawat effort ko to sustain the family's income, deadma!

headache and heartache to the max!

^ganyan talaga yan sa umpisa. it is really a bit degrading dahil sa pangit na mentality natin about genders. pero kapag nalampasan nyo yan, ok na kayo. nagdaan din kami before sa ganyan. then i got him a job at odesk. kahit hati pa rin kami sa housework, ok na lang sa kanya.

@sis lanshop & tiggerlily, hahaha baka mabasa mga hinaing ko dito about sa kanya mas lalong mainis sakin. Kanina inapply apply ko na, hopefully may mga magreply. Nakakainis lang kasi ayaw nya ng mababang rate for a start masyado pang choosy :D

Actually nababanggit ko sa kanya yung mga success story na nababasa ko dito kaso yun nga dedma lang dahil iba yung interest nya.

@mommytaf, naku ganyan din kami ng asawa ko nung nasa office pa ako nagwowork tapos sya walang trabaho. mayabang na daw ako kasi ako ang kumikita sa pamilya. di ba nila naiisip na ginagawa na nga natin lahat para lang makakain pamilya natin which is sila dapat ang magprovide. Nakakalungkot lang isipin na ganun pa iniiisip nila samantalang tayong mga mommies eh hirap na hirap isipin kung papano ibabalance ang mga time natin :(

@Sis sether, buti naman may change na nabago after mo mag-lie low sa online work. Kahit pano nakapag-isip ng konti si hubby mo. Sana lang tuloy tuloy na yan. Yun nga lang, patakas lang lagi ang pag online mo :)

Grabe 1 day delayed na naman ang mga withdrawal natin because of the July 4 holiday, 'no? So most probably Monday na naman to mga sis, hayz...  :'(

@seTHer,

Ok na strategy yan ah para makaroon sya ng first hand feel sa oDesk. Pag tagal tagal sana maisip nya na pwede sya kumita diyan habang nag-aantay sa networking business nya. Kung hindi sya kumita sa networking nya, meron syang backup.

Bilang baguhan at pag minsan mahirap makakita ng work sa oDesk, iniisip ko na lang na "online work could be very big in the future. And that future could be just a few years away. Imagine the possibilities if this industry can just get 10% to 20% of what the BPO industry is earning." Pag nangyari yan, baka marami sa atin hindi na kailangan mag abroad para kumita ng malaki laki.

Kung baga, advantage natin ay nakapagsimula na tayo kahit paano sa online work. Pansinin nyo rin, nakikita natin mga online business ng mga clients, kung ano skills kailangan, kung ano technology ang in demand, kung paano sila kumikita at kung paano nila ginagamit ang oDesk. Kung baga may preview tayo sa knowledge economy at kung ano rin yung pwede  natin maging business sa internet. Exciting di ba?  :D

Ako din! Bukod sa health issues ko, am very thankful to be a WAHM and an odesk worker kasi ang daming risks and hassles sa pag-commute to and from work! Buti naman never akong na-hold-up or na-snatch-an, pero andun pa rin yung risk that this can happen to anyone at any time, kaya buti na lang wala na akong iniisip na ganun.

Also very thankful I still get to have a good weekly income from odesk, and of course very healthy passive income sources kaya very comfy sa pagiging WAHM! :D
