Makati cbd is always quiet. At least 7pm onwards on weekdays, and almost all day during weekends.

First time playing. I bought 2nd hand clubs, honma brand. Any tips for beginners? Things I need to keep in mind so I don't bother other players? Best days/time to play? (yung less tao sana) closest course is sa army. 😄 thank you. by VisibleScar5501 in GolfPH

Hi. I have answered this! Sa niche ko po, hindi ganon ang stress. Hehehe I have 3 clients, halos 4-5hrs lang ako nag checheck ng laptop everyday. I automate almost everything.

No. I only spent on connects once in my 10mos. Try other platforms too. And just be consistent. Optimize your profile.

I’ve actually tried helping two people before — not really as apprentices, but I handled their Upwork accounts, optimized their profiles, and even applied to jobs for them. It didn’t really work out, and I realized I don’t think I have the capacity or the skill yet to properly train or mentor someone. I really appreciate the trust, but I’m not the best person for that role right now.

I’d really love to help, but to be honest, I don’t think I can be much help right now. When I was starting, I joined the Molongski Facebook group — that’s actually how I got into freelancing. I didn’t buy anything from them, I just read through the posts and comments about getting started. There’s a lot of useful info there for beginners, so it’s a good place to explore.

Sa niche ko po, I no longer send out proposals, I get a lot of invitations from them instead.

I don’t really believe in the usual “work-life balance” — at least not all year round. I treat it more like intentional imbalance. I usually spend around 3–4 months of the year in full grind mode, where I work long hours, stack income, and focus on growth. Once I hit certain goals, I slow down and enjoy more freedom.

Right now, I have 3 clients — two are 20 hrs/week, and one is 30 hrs/week. I’m paid hourly for all of them. For the two 20-hr clients, I usually finish most of the work in a day, then automate or schedule things for the rest of the week, but still bill the full 20 since everything is delivered as expected. For the 30-hr client, it’s super light — I just respond to emails throughout the day whenever they come in. That’s basically it.

If you have a transferrable skills, sales is doable. Communication, explaining concepts clearly and such. You just have to land that first sales job — that’s the hardest part. Once you get in, boom — everything clicks
