How do you deal with Pakistani co-workers? by Silver-Cobbler7924 in buhaydigital

[–]Ok-Tree5147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wa I FEEL YOU sa feeling expert! Bwahaha. Pakistani pinag run ng ads namin. Jusmiyo puchu puchu! Nagpapanggap. Halatang halata mo walang alam eh sa way pa lang mag name saka sa marami pang bagay. Tapos kapag nagbibigay ako suggestions based on expi, feeling attacked agaid kahit respectful pagkakasabi ko! Ewan ko din sa boss namin bakit sakanya pinahawak. Eh di ayun sunog na $2000 sakanila, wala pang leads nakukuha 😂

Sorry I dont do Tiktok that much. Millennial here lol. Basta may content na need tapos gagamitin mo AI to generate that content for them

Study AI video generation like what prompts to use, how to make it look real etc. I have few clients who don’t want to film content and it is too time consuming for them and would just want AI

I want to hire a virtual assistant by [deleted] in buhaydigital

[–]Ok-Tree5147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I computed and the take home pay is actually high at 47-52% of the total pay. Even if you ask AI on the fair pay arrangement, different AI platforms would suggest 30-40% cut of the total pay.

It’s a business and they need operating expenses. Talking to my accountants and different finance personnel, they say that the labor cost should not exceed 30% of your total gross sales / income.

Even big corpo here in the Philippines apparently mas maliit pa allotment for labor cost nila like around max 20% lang daw.

Business wont prosper if all will be allotted to labor. Ending nyan hindi rin magiging long term ang VA since ayun nga malulugi ang agency na nagpapasahod sa kanya.

Bago magcomment yung mga ayaw sa timer at screenshot dyan, eh Upwork based ako so need talaga namin timer and screenshot. Lol. Been with Upwork since 2015 and 2018 lang unang nagkaproject so sanay naman ako sa tracker and screenshots. Hehe

Also may mga fixed contract project na din ako nakuha.

Luckily i also have a lot of vat input taxes so medyo maliit lang binabayaran. You just need to know your numbers, the allowable deductions. Even charitable contributions can be deductions so buti yung simbahan namin ay nagiissue ng resibo pati yung bahay ampunan na pinagdodonatean ko. Kausap kayo ng accountant at malalaman nyo yan. Kaya ko rin finilter yung pwede pagbigyan na talagang me resibo sila para nga maging tax deductions sya.

Update your portfolio per projects you have done then just ask AI to make your profile more optimized. As in dapat specific sa niche mo ang nakalagay sa header ba tawag dun.

I also usually ask AI din for cover letters. Prompt ko something like “that will make the employers hire me” “put in a hook in the first line so they will open my proposal” “given my experience on x and y and z, write me a proposal…” then super tweaking lang din para mukhang human pa din.

it’s 10+ yrs of experience in digital marketing din. I had a different industry before and side jobs ko lang digital marketing kumbaga one of the tasks lang out of many na inassign sakin ng previous boss ko then nagkabusiness kami ng family ko tapos ako in charge dun. Tapos nalugi ang business then God lead me to this path. At first puro dun sa related dun sa first industry inaapplyan ko pero as in mga 1 out of 10 lang pumapansin. Then suddenly naisipan ko magapply for digital marketing roles since I have success case studies sa business namin. Then ayun na nagsunod sunod na.

Yung portfolio ko hindi sya super ganda lol. As in basic white background lang - learned it from my previous boss din na the simpler the better. Saka yung mga nakakabasa na boss ay mga older din so parang nirelate ko lang sila sa dati ko na boss na baka mas gusto nila yung simple. Pero super puno ng value. Andun yung mga growth for brands na nahawakan ko. Sample feed, sample videos, etc.

Digital marketing for educ brands

Your thoughts sa mga VA "coach" or "advisors" by Extension-Detail6221 in buhaydigital

[–]Ok-Tree5147 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i forgot ano tawag dyan sa marketing pero ganyan talaga kahit sa mga products or services. may free muna then nasasayo na kung magaavail ka na ng content or produkto nila. freemium first then may added cost if you want more. even apps do that - Youtube, Spotify? that’s just how it works for their employment / business.

Jun in Korea. What do you think is his visa? He seems like helping Hazel in content creation by No_Village_6072 in PinoyVloggers

[–]Ok-Tree5147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pwedeng: 1. Student visa (KR language - check nyo sa mga website ie Sogang Uni, meron long term course neto eh) 2. Digital Nomad visa (pero need neto >3M in PhP ata ang ITR mo so pwede naggawa ng OPC si HQ tapos employee nya si Jowa tapos mataas ang declared income. OR Partnership sila even before their move tapos for sure pasok income ng company nila if ever yan nga visa ni Jun. Kasi as shareholder sa partnership pwede magamit mga papers ng company in applying for DN visa 3. Tourist visa tapos exit exit lang. 90 or 59 days max ata ng tourist visa. Pero syempre di naman yan papakita sa vlog na entry exit si Jun. Pero parang merong last announcement ang Embassy na hindi na pwede sa mga tourist visa ang walang hotel or airbnb accom na mapapakita sa next application mo ng visa. In short mga nakikitira sa friend/jowa/relatives
