I am glad to announce that because of the overwhelming support I got from the first workshop, I will be conducting another one on June 13. I am also happy to let you know that the first one was a success. 

If you missed the first one, then go ahead and give me a call or send me a message, reserve your slot now, I will guarantee that after the workshop, you'll be able to start your freelance career. 

For the benefit of the ones that only heard about this now, here are what you have to expect in the workshop:

A workshop like no other

Don't mistake this workshop to be like the ones you have attended so far. What does this workshop have that is different? Unlike, other workshop that offers general insights in being a freelancer, this workshop will guide you through everything step by step. 

In this workshop, you walk in an employee tired of their day job, or an employee looking for extra income, You come out still an employee but with a renewed spirit and a long term freelancing job if you are chosen. If not, you still walk out with a freelancing profile that is ready to send out your first application and accept your new job.

Still curious about what I am talking about? Here are some of the things you will learn.

Career path guidance

Did you know that there are two types of freelancers? This workshop will help you determine which type will suit you, your schedule and your skills better.

Profile creation

There will be an on the spot profile creation. Know how to vamp up your profile to get yourself noticed by your clients.

Niche picking

Learn which niche or "genre' as you call in with music will work best for you and your skills.

Usual rates

Learn about the usual rates for every writing job. Know that bidding too high won't win you the job, bidding too low won't either. Never commit that mistake again after this workshop.

Cover letter creation

When applying for the job. Your cover letter is your weapon, you have to penetrate through the client's shield and make him realize you are the one for the job. Know what and what not to include in your cover letter.

Choosing the job

Learn about the jobs that are fit for you. Differentiate scams from legitimate ones.

Bidding for the job

Learn how to manipulate you bid in order to get the job.

Getting the job

Know what to do when you get the job. From accepting the offers and terms, to actually starting with the job.

All of these will equip you to be more competitive in the freelancing world. These will make sure you can start your career right after you leave the workshop.

Hang on. There's more.

Of course, I won't let you walk away with just that. I also prepared some bonuses that can help you with your freelancing careers.

Are you curious already? Here they are:

Withdrawing your earnings. Not everyone are aware of the policies and processes when it comes to withdrawing their earnings. Know what websites you have to register on and what bank accounts you have to enroll to.

Time management tips. When you have all the time in your hands, how can you budget it to fit your lifestyle? how can you prevent procrastinating when you don't have a boss?

Productivity tips. You know what they all say, work smarter not harder. No matter how hard you work, if you are not organized, you will not be able to finish you job. So I will teach you how to work smarter to finish the job in lesser amount of time and therefore have more time for yourself or your family.

Budgeting your earnings. Of course I won't let you earn extra just to vamp up your lifestyle and spend more. There will also be a brief and helpful talk about how to spend your money wisely.

Ooops, there's still more.

As a bonus for this blog post, I'll post photos of the first workshop for you to see. We had fun during the workshop, we ate, we shared stories, and we learned a lot.                 

We ate while we are discussing. The pastry buffet was sponsored by Paulette's Choclettes.I'm not sure where the photos of the Choclette Brownies and Choclette Cupcakes are, I'll look for them and post it here too.

We invited a financial consultant to help the writers' with how to save the money that they will earn. She gave us a presentation and we also had fun activities.

After the discussion and the guest speaker. We had a Q&A for their clarifications. After that, they were given their certificates of participation.

Now before I end this, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my family for making this possible. Together, we turn what used to be a "bodega" into something presentable. Thank you Mama, Papa, Diko, Kuya Ronald, and of course, my lie and purpose, the Daddy and the Asti, the Mommy loves you so so much!

Next I'd like to thank Mr. Ver Garcia for helping me promote the workshop. Of course who would forget my team. The best writing team there is. I want to thank Do It Write Solutions for helping me get through this and for also helping me promote the workshop.
