FreelancingPH coworks at The Common Space at Pergola Mall, BF Homes for the Coffee Break Live South meet up last Feb. 25, 2017. The event started at around 2 pm and ended past 5, though the seminar was already done, the freelancers continued to socialize, with coffee and pizza.
As an online worker, it is good to be part of a community and attend such events such as the Coffee Break Live South meet up that I went to. The FreelancingPH seminar provided lots of helpful information that comes from the shared experiences of people who do make money online. The tips included that of asserting oneself, knowing what your value id, and not accepting work that was lower that your rate, and to request for a down payment before tackling the task.
Freelancers do have many concerns, and being ripped off online has happened to me, and getting clients that did not pay fairly. By listening to the seminar, I had learned vital tips, strategies, and skills, and even discovered where there are more online jobs to be found.
The vibe was that of relaxed work mode. The topics that were discussed revealed insights that are needed.

The continuous talks, the group discussions, and social interaction, was fine, providing a freelance like me the much desired social interaction, for as we know, that to work online is a solitary task, and this need to see and be with other people is solved by going to such meet ups and holding office in a coworking space such as The Common Space.

Being a freelancer can be lonely, and having experienced hardly leaving the house, since I am a WHAM (Work at Home Mom), even dressing up to go somewhere to meet with people that also make money online, brings about a great feeling of being offline, still working, learning, and also placing input to share. Now that I have attended a Coffee Break Live meet up and do hold office to a coworking space, I do have a better social life with independent professionals like me, and it does increase my productivity.
