Millions of people worldwide have now made the switch to becoming professional freelancers and digital nomads. Here in the country alone, the number of Filipinos doing online home-based freelance work is around 800-900,000 by last year.

The flexibility that online freelancing gives is a very good motivation, as it enables you to work productively and efficiently from home or from anywhere in the world (provided there’s internet of course) while pursuing your passions or while working another full-time job. It also allows you to work and play at your own pace while saving time and money (i.e. transportation and dress allowance) that you can use for other activities.

For aspiring long-term travelers like me, freelance work is one viable option to sustain a life of travel. And for those who love to write, freelance writing is the perfect fit for you to combine earning money and doing what you love!

However, signing up for freelance writing jobs is only the beginning. It does not guarantee you with work upfront and the competition is getting tighter every day to get a gig. It also requires a lot of discipline and independence.

This is why Do It Write Solutions wants to help you through a step-by-step workshop on how to become a freelance writer as well as a chance to get accepted for a long term freelance writing gig!

This interactive workshop will help you create your profile and cover letter as well as discover your niche. You will also get to know about differentiating scam jobs from the legitimate ones, bidding, and the usual rates for every writing job.

Knowing what to do when you get the job will also make you more competitive compared to other newbie freelancers. Ms. Nizza Gueco will be conducting this workshop and provide you with the writing tips!

But wait, there’s more!

You will also leave with knowledge on how to withdraw and budget your earnings. A topic that is rarely touched upon during freelance writing workshops. Extras also include time management and productivity tips since working freelance relies heavily on these two factors.

This workshop caters to both those true beginners and those who have already experience with writing and are considering the move to freelance. Certificates for participants will be provided at the end of the workshop.
