Kick-start your Freelancing Career: Learn how to become a VApreneur

If you're always wondering about how online freelancing works, here's the right venue to learn about it!

This October 22, 2016, join us in a day of learning and discovery by attending #VApreneur: One Day To FREEdom! Workshop. This event aims to help aspiring and existing virtual assistants to develop their business, identify their core skills, meet more clients, and charge competitively for their services.

What is a virtual assistant and what does it have to do with freelancing? 

A virtual assistant or a VA is a person who provides services to a client remotely from home, may it be technical, creative, or administrative, it depends on what skills the VA has to offer. That said, VAs are freelancers too, offering services online and remotely to clients that are mostly overseas.

VA vs. VApreneur: the difference

The term VApreneur is a play between VA and entrepreneur, and was coined by Ms. Rochefel Rivera, one of the organizers and speakers of the event.

As a VA, you work as an independent contractor, providing services to your client, and is being paid a fixed rate or an hourly rate, depends on what is agreed upon. A VApreneur is more than that, your mindset is not just confined to a remote employee but a business owner, a service provider offering intangible products of high value to the clients. This shift from employee to entrepreneur mentality is what sets them apart, and is going to be tackled further during the event.

A lot of freelancers pride themselves as being their own bosses, but behind their desks they're slaves to their clients, overworked and underpaid. It's time to put more value to your work and package your services in a competitive manner, making your client see you as a partner and not just a cheaper alternative to a regular employee.

1. How to transition from employee to VApreneur

[Review] my xend experience

ang cool naman. it's my first time to use xend courier service (http://xend.com.ph) and i'm pretty impressed! 

i scheduled for a pickup on 1:40pm, hoping na umabot sa 2pm cut-off nila for same day pickups. 

and guess what, the courier arrived at 3:30pm! and i didn't have to confirm anything, as in bigla na lang dumating (well the front desk informed me naman shempre haha)! ang bilis diba? considering na i put an office address pa! lol

kudos to xend na rin for having a very well versed pickup guy (lol, can't think of a better term!). i didn't have to go back to my cubicle to fetch my account number hehe. plus he gave me a pad of waybills for my future shipments. yehey! actually you can have this requested, they give it for free! >XD

i'll definitely choose xend on my next orders na. haha

in fairness ha mejo naeenjoy ko tong pabenta benta kong to, imagine before i had to go to the nearest and cheapest courier pa to ship items but now i can have them picked up at my place of choice! so convenient and cheap! hello naman na 89 pesos lang for a provincial delivery (59 for metro manila) ohaaa! 

anyway, my story doesn't end here, i have to chart how long the shipment arrives to its destination pa, which is a provincial area na mejo binabagyo ngayon. oh well. we'll see!

free waybills :)

so far so good! will update this when the item has arrived. hehe

[UPDATE!]

as of September 26, 2013 4:30pm
buyer informed me that he has already received the item! yehey! that's 2 days for a provincial delivery!

thank you xend! till next time! :D

Start your own business for just 200 pesos!

hey goys! here's a really good opportunity for you to earn on the sides and turn your cellphone into a source of income! for more details, you may comment on this entry or whatever. i'll be in touch :D
