Underbidding – How Low Should You Set Your Rates?

There was an email to me recently which caught my attention. She was asking me about how much to charge for an eBook. I remember one of my replies was something like, “I am sure that your would-be client won’t be paying much. He sounds barat.”

While others are actually valuing their writing and bidding accordingly to projects, more and more clients are offering low compensations for projects. As such, freelance writers are forced to bid low because of a lot of factors.

Freelance Writing and oDesk – what oDesk can give you

I’ve once written about oDesk here when I first tried out the system. A few months later, and I am writing such again. Why? Because I find a lot of potential things in oDesk.

As a full-time web worker, freelancer, work-at-home worker, or however you want to call me, I see that oDesk helps a lot of Filipino people who seem to can’t get their asses off their houses and work (read: the unemployed.)

Freelance Writing – How Much Are You Worth as a Freelance Writer?

I’ve written this piece for Ezine Articles, and it’s a good read :) I hope you get the idea of it. LOL.

Why do freelance writers need to set their own rates? How do you know how much to charge your clients? This maybe the hardest part you need to decide on – but is definitely one of the most important.

Bumptop – now my desktop IS a desktop!

A few months ago, I was finding an effective way to stick some notes on my desktop (because those little post-its in front of me keep on dropping, and I forgot what I was supposed to do…)

Then I saw this video with some sticky notes and a really cool looking desktop.

Turns out it was BumpTop.

And I was hooked.

[Sorry, I'm writing random things - I need to jump start my writing mind before I move on to my work ;P]

I was tweaking my Google Analytics account and I saw that I had a visitor from Google.

Yep, GOOGLE.

Not referred to by some other website – but directly from a search engine.

I’ll Take You to the Philippines

I’ve always believed in promoting my own country. Even my thesis is build on promoting the Filipina in Google (I was so tired of being framed as only domestic helpers or mail-order brides.)
One of the few artists who I really like is apl.de.ap of Black Eyed Peas. Even if he’s there, with almost everything that he can have, he never, ever, ever, forgot the Philippines.
