During our training in day 2, we were given a task to share or interview an online Freelancer on how they build their profile online, the challenges and the lessons they experienced and how they manage to build a good relationship with their client.
First, there's no one I know who is an online freelancer. so, I asked my co-trainee if they can help. I was thankful because there is one of co-trainee who is her brother is an online freelancer. I contacted her brother and I started Interviewing him thru Phone. I introduce myself and ask some questions. He shared a lot of things about being an online freelancer.
"I’m Eduard Villason and I have been a freelancer since 2006. My work’s focus is promoting products – mostly virtual content – to online users. Using various channels, I was able to create a customer base that had loyally purchased online products since the day I started this venture.
Freelancing is not quite easy, particularly at first, since gaining online presence takes time, effort and funding. But, with hard work and relentless exertion to reach my target market, I was able to support my family and purchase properties in a short period of time, which would not have been possible for a regular employee. Hence, I consider online freelancing to be quite a rewarding venture. This is especially true, considering not all business ventures become lucrative.
My knowledge and understanding of the online world has also deepened, thanks to freelancing. There is virtually no limits when it comes to learning and gaining experience when one ventures into the field of online freelancing as there are a multitude of tutorials and guides that an individual can use to improve their skills and better their capacity in working online."
