I was looking at the posted jobs at the Pinoy Money Talk forum, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of online jobs being offered by employers from both here and the US. It's such a lively jobs market place where the potential employers meet and answer questions from prospective contractors. One word came to mind right away: Opportunity. Opportunity for Filipino professionals to earn premium dollars without leaving the country.
I was reminded of this again when I read Tim Ferris' post on Technology where he mentioned about having an assistant in Canada and sub-assistants in Bangalore. Tim Ferris is the author of the highly-acclaimed "The 4-hour Work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, Join the New Rich," and a most eloquent exponent of outsourcing and alternative lifestyle.
People in the West are among the most overworked people on earth, researches show. The reason why the 4-Hour Work Week book was such a tremendous success is because more and more of them are considering the possibility of simplifying their lives and doing the things they are really passionate about (skiing hidden slopes in Argentina, things like that) without giving up their sources of income. How is this accomplished? Virtual outsourcing. That's why we see these types of jobs being offered at Pinoy Money Talk. A website owner in Miami, for example, who owns a dating site, has got his business on virtual autopilot now, by outsourcing the tedious day to day maintenance of his website to a professional editor/writer in Manila.
So what does this mean for the Pinoy professional? Sorry for begging the question, but it's opportunity staring at us in the face. We are highly trained programmers, web designers, copy writers, customer care reps – you name the skills set, there's a Filipino professional who has it. The trend for outsourcing is expected to continue and grow in the next few years. Add that to the virtual exodus of small to medium scale businesses in the West who need to create some sort of web presence in the months ahead (just to survive) and you can see the billions of dollars in outsourcing income going to professionals worldwide. For as long as you provide professional, top-quality, prompt service, there will always be a steady stream of income for you online.
Under-promise, Over-deliver. That's the key to making it as a web support freelancer.
I bid actively for and get freelance projects in sites like Elance, but what differentiates Pinoy Money Talk Online Income Opportunities is that potential employers post here with the object of hiring Pinoy professionals. Like having our very own Craigslist right here in our own backyard. And that most definitely offers tremendous possibilities to Filipino professionals and entrepreneurs alike.
