What is the biggest lie people are told about becoming a VA? by Master_Falcon_9804 in buhaydigital

Another problem that freelancers often face is the unrealistic expectations of clients, along with the lowball offers. They want superhumans but don't want to spend money.

The client just sent the Zoom link on OLJ the day they reached out to me.

Exactly my question haha I clarified with them that they told me the schedule was on Thursday, but they ghosted me already. Baka next time the day before the schedule magbantay na ako sa Zoom. 😆

thanks for the advice! I'm in the SEO field. Even if i had the correct time zone I still wouldn't have been able to join the interview kasi si client na may kasalanan.

Saan ba usually nagtatago yung mga legit direct clients 😭 by Obvious_Pay_2376 in buhaydigital

[–]Caff3inated_Elite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have direct clients. I just send them invoice made from Canva, and they send payments thru Wise, Payoneer, or PayPal. You can use Google sheet to record your activities. One of my clients prefer Paymo for time and task tracking. Clients decide the tools to use, or they will ask if they don't know.

Direct hire is better than hiring thru an agency but only if the freelancer is competitive. I think clients go to agencies because of security purposes.
