In recent years, we saw the rise of freelancing, remote/online & work-from-home jobs and it's lately been popularized by the local media. The landscape of work & employment has changed considerably with the advent of new technologies and it's catching on quickly here in the Philippines. After 7 years of working in the corporate world, I decided to look into remote, telecommuting jobs myself and while browsing and searching, I discovered a "newly minted" site that you guys might also be interested in if you want to work remotely or from home. 🏡
A new online Filipino skills marketplace will launch later this year that will provide an open platform for freelancers and clients alike, similar to Upwork. It’s the first-ever online marketplace that solely accepts Filipino professionals to match foreign clients. What’s more, it’s owned by a Filipino entrepreneur! 🇵🇭
The owner, currently based in Japan 🗾, believes that we Filipinos can easily secure financial stability, and widen our market to the rest of the world. As for clients, the owner says, “I can already assure them that talents and skills from the Philippines are unparalleled. We, Filipinos, always apply our culture to every project we make. Clients would surely receive projects and outputs of a high standard.” 👍
The site is open to all Filipinos with a computer & internet access who wish to attract clients from around the world as well as foreign nationals who want to work with Philippine freelancers. Services or "sidelines" will be offered to international clients with a registered account and all transactions, local or overseas will be handled by the site's team.
Filipino freelancers can sell and buy "sidelines" that covers the following fields:
Graphic Design 🎨
Computer Programming 👩💻
Music and narration 🎼
Writing and Translation 📝
Business 💵
Health and lifestyle 🏋♂
Photography and Videography 📸
Divination 🔮
Travel 🏰
Love and relationships 💏
Legal 📜
Medical 👨⚕️
Every sideline is accepted as long as it follows the site's terms and conditions.
Various payment options within the site can handle payments and withdrawals from both parties with ease. Both clients and freelancers have an option to transact using local bank transfers, remittance, Paypal, or other payment solutions accepted in the Philippines. 🏦
The site is currently in it's beta phase but people can already sign up and create their sidelines in preparation for the launch. Some Filipino freelancers are now even buying services offered by their peers! 😃
