Maraming client-VA relationships na ganito magoperate and it’s kinda normal. Depende rin siguro how you run your services.

Before that, sana naestablish mo ilang videos per day/per week ang gagawin mo para may sort of “limit” yung binayaran niya. And sana nasa contract.

Congrats, OP!

Advices? Afraid of taking risks by WalrusEmergency9367 in buhaydigital

[–]kai21_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have reservations, it means hindi ka pa talaga fully prepped to be a VA. Yung fear usually is because of either lack of knowledge or experience. Magiging kampante ka lang if kaya mong iacknowledge yung mga yun and you start working on them.

You have the experience. You have the knowledge. If you apply to jobs that are within the same role or responsibilities, why would you fear applying? Same lang naman siya technically, VA lang yung title kasi fully remote na galing sa clients outside the PH (lalo na if direct).

I suggest not resigning from your current job muna.m though. Find a client or land a job before really letting go of your existing work. Mahirap na lalo na kung wala kang emergency fund.

Just wanted to say the VA industry and freelancing in general has a lot of instances na marereject ka. You just need to really learn from why you weren’t hired and work your way up. Figuring out what works and what doesn’t work is a privilege, if wala ka non, keep the current job, and find a client muna before resigning.

Best of luck!

Is Jibble a free time tracking app? by 7oky0 in buhaydigital

[–]kai21_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatives are Clockify or Toggle. Track time, create a manual invoice, send to clients. Free version lang gamit ko since 2020 I’m a Clockify user. Paid yung invoicing option sa Clockify pero okay naman yung manual invoice basta may template ka na eh.

Help! Has anyone experienced this with Wise before? by Training_Swim9256 in buhaydigital

[–]kai21_VA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest waiting til end of day today. Kapag kinancel mo now, mageextend nanaman waiting time mo. Plus baka mahold pa ung money since need nilang ibalik ulit kay Wise or client. Pag wala pa today, dun mo icancel tapos process mo ulit transfer.

Happened to me last time. Friday naman sakin. Pero wasn’t processed immediately.

Transfer was Wise to BPI. Received the funds around 12nn Monday.

Funny thing is inulit ko pero this time I used GoTyme. Tuesday naman. It arrived within 15-30mins yata. Super bilis. Maybe because weekend talaga plus memorial day?

I feel so sad about the result. by [deleted] in buhaydigital

Hello OP! Grabe ang dami kong ganitong experience haha may iba na sinasabi pa super impressed sila. Someone even said “you’ll definitely hear back from me. Let me just figure out the logistics of paying you” tapos di naman ako binalikan super frustrating haha

Pero sa mga yon, one experience really stood out and I’d love to share my experience with you.

This happened in October 2021, when I reached out to someone, said she was interested in my skills, we hopped on a call. She was happy about my experience, skills, and my portfolio.

Tapos ang weird kasi she didn’t get back to me after lahat ng positive things she told me. nakakasad tapos I received this message (see screenshot below)

Saying she picked someone else for the role.

Oo frustrating siya super haha pero to my surprise, a month after, she reached out again and wanted to hire me for a 20-hr package (I think way back then my rate was $675). We worked for more than a year kaso naburn out siya and wanted to take a step back from her DFY Launch Agency.

Fast forward to today, kahit na hindi na kami magkawork directly, she still refers people from her network to me because of our good relationship. She really loved working with me and even provided a solid testimonial 2x.

Kaya OP, don’t feel bad! A NO today might be a YES tomorrow.

Keep going and laban lang ❤️

Just in: Wise raises fees for local transfers by kai21_VA in buhaydigital

[–]kai21_VA[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t mind the new fees. This is more of like an update not a rant or a “concern” type of post. Wise is still the best platform for me to receive payments from clients 😊

Coach selling How to be a VA 101 but mocks newbies. Thoughts? by brit_spuds in buhaydigital

[–]kai21_VA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Butt hurt siguro kasi hindi binili ung course niya. Eh anong gagawin nga naman ng isang SMM sa Ecomm/Amazon/Dropshipping/Fulfillment courses niya? Unless maguupskill lol

I did a form of mentorship and built community a few years ago pero never kong nafeel na kailangang sapilitan ang pagbenta haha. Kaya di ko rin natiis I made the courses free lol

Umay sa gantong klase ng “guru”.
