Freelance Virtual Assistants
Many Filipinos are fond of multi-tasking. And that is because we have the ability to learn many things and apply it. And also, we have the nature of a good follower. Not in a religious sense, but somehow, we do most of our things religiously. And that is what online employers love about us.

What is your opinion? What are the top types of freelancers for you? Please share us a comment, we would greatly appreciate it!
I agree and you are spot on in terms of identifyng the top freelancing jobs in the Philippines. While I may not be familiar with the industry of graphics, I am more familiar with writing as I write for my blog.
I would like to take this opportunity to address one possible area of concern for writers, we have always said that we are a nation, generally, who can speak English. We are also a nation of people who are contented with being ordinary. What do I mean by this? I know for a fact that a vast majority of writers who have been getting jobs do not put time in improving further their command of the English language and writing style. If they could, then they could command higher rates.

I am a VA. Been working for the same boss since 2012, and I consider my job a blessing. Dito na ako na engage, kinasal, nabuntis at nagkaanak. It's a great help for me and my family. And yes, the rate is correct! Others even go higher than $8, if you're lucky and you get an awesome boss.
Well, Filipinos are some of the better English speaking folks here in Southeast Asia, that I have to admit. And I have come across a lot of influential Filipino Freelancers (many of them are among my friends) indeed
I was a freelance internet researcher for 3 years before I landed a job as a freelance writer for PSST.Ph I enjoyed freelance work compared to my 10 years working an 8-5 job.
I have been working freelance for 6yrs now. Been working on my blog even when I'm still at school. I never had a 8-5 job before and it makes me wonder sometimes if I should give it a try.
Well, as for me, VA and writer are at least the most common ones regardless of what degree you have earned. On the side note, graphic artists too is also one of the jobs that follow but certainly, requires a set of good skills. I have a friend who is an online freelancer and she works as a VA for years already.
I have been working as Freelance online ESL teacher for 3 year now. I can easily joggle my blog commitments and earn at the same time. 🙂
My friends work as freelancers and are earning a decent amount of money and still have time for leisure. I wonder why it never worked for me. I think I should give it another shot.
I always wanted to be a freelancer because I can do things on my own pace and wants but I don't know where and how to start. Have to read more of articles like this before I start.
