Surely, you want to begin working from home for reasons like; You want to have a career and witness your kids’ milestones at the same time You dread the painful commute to work You heard of the $$$ you can earn by freelancing You want to achieve work-life balance and not be tied to your 9-5 job You want to become your own boss There’s plenty more, but these are the most common reasons you will get from newbie freelancers. While it is true that above motivations are achievable through work-from-home freelancing, what many fail to talk about are the challenges one may need to face to get started, thrive, and grow.

Korni talaga ako, but my YouTube dream is forcing me to create catchy captions. Haha! Your resident WAHM is back to blog here and vlog on my YouTube channel (Relaxed Wahmmy). Yes, I am not yet done exhausting EVERY opportunity to earn a living from home; only this time, what I seek is passive income from my passion projects. Tall order? Not really. I know from experience that it is doable. In fact, I've already made one of my heart's deepest desires come true in the last few months: I grew my freelance agency Happy Freelancing— yay! From solo to partnership with Bunch to hiring Social Media Assistants, Writers, Graphic Designers, and Video Editors on as needed basis; we now have a Writer, six Telemarketers, and a Social Media Assistant! All of them hired for long-term contracts. Also meeting with our HR consultant in a few days! So, nah. That ain't tall order. It just means I gotta work harder! This blog is part of my efforts to document this journey and to suppo

Before I talk about my Valentine's Dream Date, I'd love to first give you a bit background about who I am and what I do. Who I am can easily be summed up in 4 letters: W-A-H-M. I am a Work-At-Home-Mom doing various freelance writing, admin, social media and design work for clients abroad. I have been in the business for many years. Haven't looked back to my also fun call center life since. I have no regrets about choosing to be home all the time. After all, I am an introvert. I don't really enjoy being in a crowd. They can be overwhelming to me. I also have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm just really thankful I am present in her life and I get to watch her grow up into a happy, beautiful girl each day. I understand this is a privilege not many moms get to enjoy. I love my WAHM  life! I'm going to say this over and over again— I live to be a good mother and homemaker. I believe this is God's purpose for my life. Freelancing helps me achieve this. Working

This post originally appeared at www.freelancingwahmmy.wordpress.com on February 23, 2012 This blog has been up for almost a month now, but this will be the first time that I'll be writing on it. I have been very busy with many things-- Bunch landed a new job and we have to adjust to the changes in our schedule and routines, Isha's beginning to learn a lot of things (and they're making me crazy!), lots of cleaning up to do around our new apartment and I'm studying Social Media for a couple of projects on the subject. It was really difficult to find time to blog, but I have to. I promised my friends that I'll blog about working from home. I also promised myself that I'm going to commit to a one-post-per-week schedule on this blog. So, here I am; typing my way to my first blog post on this page and completely forgetting about the typical 'welcome post' aka 'hello world'. Welcome to my blog. I am Clarisse and I am a 'freelancin

It's not the first time that I tried to work in coffee shops. My 'coffice' search started (and failed) in 2012. There weren't many coffee shops in Bulacan back then, and freelancing was unheard of. It was difficult to find a coffee shop that welcomed remote workers. Fast forward to 2016. Entrepreneur Philippines now features freelancing/freelancers in its articles regularly. Independent contractors come up on Facebook from time to time to share their stories and excitement for the entire world to read. We're no longer unheard of. We're now a community that sparks interest from people looking for jobs or looking into the option of starting a service-based business from home. As for me, that's total of 5 years in freelancing, and just very recently-- in Tuguegarao City. A lot has changed, but the question of whether I will be able to find a coffee shop that will welcome me in their place still stands. Prior to moving to Tuguegarao City, I found
