All by myself now. Fam has just decided to go for a swim today, while here I am, working my ass to finish my remaining time, so I can also start the new project. Happy to say that I'm going to start my 2023 with 3 open contracts. Yay! Once I finish this writing job, I will begin working on the Wiki project. So many blessings, so there is no time for slacking. Happy 1st day of 2023, everyone! PS: I'm so sleepy.
@bmjc98
It looks great seeing three of them in line. I hope I will get new clients every time I successfully close one of them. Currently working for the short posts to be used for their social media posts. Tired writing for the long articles, so I decided to write the easy ones. After this, I will take my beauty rest and continue the rest tomorrow. I am already drained.
@bmjc98
Such a waste of connects if you'd ask me. It's like you pay the client to hire you. Unless the rate you get from working that client is worth the connects you paid. This is the current problem freelancers are facing, especially for the newbies. Even if you have the skills and talent, if you don't have enough connects to boost your application, it's still hard to get the job. Anyway, if you are new and you have the skills, add them up to your portfolio. This will give you a…
@bmjc98
Work work work. Busy researching for references. Been working since lunch time. And I need to take a nap soon coz we have work tonight. Ugghhh. Good luck to me.
@bmjc98
Yung kapatid mong sarap jumbagin!!.. Duda ko talaga walang pasok kasi nung pasko, wala din silang pasok sa 26. Tas nag insist talaga siya na me pasok. So sabi ko, balitaan mo ako pag wala para di ako pupunta sa boarding house niya. Pero ayun hindi nag inform na walang pasok ang dalawang Companies at andito na ako. Tapos wala pa siya so ang ending andito ako sa labas nag aabang kung kelan siya darating. Tapos wala pang upuan dito, wala pang ilaw, at ang bigat pa ng bag ko.…
@bmjc98
New prospect. I hope I can close the deal. This will be my third active Wiki projects if ever. Wish me luck!
@bmjc98
So tired. 8 and 40 mins today. Good thing the pay is good, so it's fine to work long hours. Now, I'm resting and eating my favorite banana cue. I will rest for a bit and get ready to go to my brother's place. Back to night shift again. Wish me luck.
@bmjc98
Client's feedback. Sent him the draft and asked him if he needed something to add or something else. So far, he is satisfied with the draft. I will have to do some minor revisions, though. Also, from his less than 10 sources, I made it up to 50+. I hope this will make the Wiki admin/editor/review accepted the draft and make it live asap.
@bmjc98
Yung mga clients mong very unresponsive, sige bahala kayo jan! Unang client, yung sa politiko. Dami kong Message, di na nag reply. At yung isang client na me active contract sakin, ayaw din mag reply. Bahala ka, di ko gagawin yung page mo. Buti pa yung Canadian, ang bait pa. Wala pang issue.
@bmjc98
And I am done! Now, waiting for an editor to review everything. Since this project is paid hourly, I was able to track down the length of time consumed for the project. Despite having 10 pages, I was able to finish this in 22 hours. The best part is, from the 10 references he sent me, I increased it to 60+. Yay! Here's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Cumming I hope we will get the approval, though.
@bmjc98
Hello 4000 hours!!! Anyway, it should be 7 jobs and not 6. I don't know why the fixed rate job is not counted yet. The same goes for the already ended contract but is still showing as open. It's been a month. I only finished the page in two days and get paid on the 4th day, but it shows like it's still an open contract for me. Upwork is fast in deducting your connects, but slow in updating your profile. Upwork, how are you related to PLDT or Globe? 😅 PS: My unresponsive…
@bmjc98
Finally, I'm done with my Singaporean client. I hope my client's client will give me the go signal to submit this page. I have added 24 references to make sure it won't look like we are just promoting their company. Now, I can finally have my beauty rest. Work mode in a few hours. Good night.
@bmjc98
What do you think? I need an honest opinion because I want to improve my logo. Char. :) This will be for my catalog. I will offer my service, so I don't have to deal with the charging stuff. I'm not good at pricing, so I want to provide a fixed rate for possible prospects, ranging from $100 to $500. The prices vary depending on what they exactly need.
@bmjc98
Wow! I didn't expect I was invited 18 times. Yay! PS: I have just found out that Sir Marc De Mesel doesn't have his own Wikipedia page. I will try to create one for him. Maybe this weekend. We'll see.
@bmjc98
Gotcha!! Another successful deal from two days ago. I thought the job was already taken since he stopped responding to me. Another page to be added to my portfolio and payout for my wallet. Yay! 🎉🎉🎉
@bmjc98
Who would have thought that going back to freelancing was the best decision ever made since umm 2021? Yay! More Wiki for me, please. Note: The week hasn't over yet, and we have the writing job that's not yet finished.
@bmjc98
Yung feel na feel mo yung trip mo sa buhay. HEHE. Ni reduced ko kahapon yung charge ko pero bigla ko naisipan, na in demand pala to kaya gora sa pricing. Sino kaya una kong client. Kung meron man sana mabait at galanti. Char. Wala lang, gusto ko lang yung logo ko pati yung setup.
@bmjc98
Wow! In just less than 24 hours since I submitted the page, we are OFFICIALLY live now!! I've just informed my client about it. Now, time to use this as my latest addition to my successful Wikipedia pages. I feel so happy, knowing that I was able to make another biography. Kudos to my researcher client for sending me well-written content. HEHE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Cumming
@bmjc98
Dami kong pagod. I've just finished 2 Wikis today. Kaya matutulog na ako. Goodnight.
@bmjc98
I hope he'll give me the go signal tomorrow, so I can also get the payment. Tbh, I haven't bought anything for myself. I guess because I don't want anything else at the moment. All I have in mind is pay my mom.
@bmjc98
When clients are so demanding, ask a freelancer to create a Wikipedia page from scratch within 24 hours but pay you a little. Goodness, gracious! If it's something urgent, then the freelancer deserves to have more for the time and effort of trying to make everything done in 24 hours.
@bmjc98
Sana ganito lagi para pwede na akong magka baby. HAHAHA. Mukhang wala na ata akong pag-asang magamit tong matris ko. Benta ko na lang kaya to. HEHE.
@bmjc98
I am looking for people who can READ, WRITE, and SPEAK FLUENTLY in languages like Spanish, Italian, and Russian. I am planning to accept Wikipedia pages in these languages. To do that, I need a few locals who can help me review the page I create. I do all the work, and your role is to proofread the draft before submitting it to the client. Requirements: - You must be FLUENT in any of these languages - Always available when needed - And with a good work ethic If you have what…
@bmjc98
So happy that after his Wikipedia page, I will still be working with him for another one. Yay! I hope he will also ask his wife to have her page, so I can still work with him. He's an excellent client, and the pay is good. Hard to let go. HEHE. Last shift tonight, and I hope we won't be so busy tonight.
@bmjc98
I really wanted to sleep, but then I remembered I still have work to do. Sadly, niece is not feeling well, so she can't do the short posts. Anyway, how's everyone doing?
@bmjc98
Need help! What load promo or network to be used when you want to call a PLDT landline? Thanks. Urgent matter.
@bmjc98
New feedback received! I asked Gabriel to end our contract since I had already completed the job a long time ago. He will create a new one once he gets another client that wants a Wikipedia page. As for the IN PROGRESS, I am pretty disappointed with how slow Upwork updates that section. I have two current Wikipedia clients from last week, which still have not been reflected. Mmm. The same goes for the total amount and time from the client, which gives me $15/hour. Anyway, I…
@bmjc98
My 3rd English biography page. Hopefully, we will get the approval soon. A happy client is a happy freelancer.
@bmjc98
Yay! I hope I can add more in the "In Progress" section. I have one coming, though. This time, it will be a Wikitia editing instead of Wikipedia. According to the client, he wants several pages done in Wikitia. Yay!
@bmjc98
Yay! I love the view. More contracts, please. Sadly, I almost run out of connects. I guess I need to buy some soon.
@bmjc98
What a blessing! From Jan 1-Jan 18, I already earned $798.17. From Wikipedia alone, I already earned $537.5, excluding the ones that are still pending. Yay! I have another Wikipedia client, so I hope this will be a success too.
@bmjc98
$102 deduction for this week. Damn! This is 5645 PHP already. This could buy me a few cans of paints. Anyway, not gonna complain because it is just an indication that I earn good too. Okay, off for a quick lunch. Goodnight.
@bmjc98
Wow! Di ko expect tumagal ako sa kuya ko. Feel ko nag 2 months na ako sa kanya. Today's payday pala so I'm happy. Syempre most of my sahod will be given to my mom as bayad utang. I will only leave some for myself para sa other obligations like SSS contri and loan, philhealth, etc. Plus, the paint pa. Since I'm working with my bro, I haven't bought anything for myself. I guess because I can't think of something I want. Maybe once I get to settle my utang with my mom, and…
@bmjc98
Yung first time mo maka withdraw ng amount na dati pang ilang months mo ng kita. Tapos me naka pending pa na payment dahil need ng 5-day security churva, nakaka happy. Thank God dahil malaki man nawala sakin sa 2022, binigyan naman ako ng lakas ng loob mag go sa dating iniiwasan kong trabaho na ngayon, bread and butter ko na tas me kasama pang pang tulak na. 😁 Sana ma approve yung dalawang nakapending kong pages para sa iba naman ako bbwelo. Hirap mag work kung marami silang…
@bmjc98
Yung 3 years old boss baby mo na sobrang smart na ngayon alam na alam na pano iopen ang cp ni mommy. Last week, tinuruan ko siya pano iinput ang password. 4 digits lang naman tas I showed him how to. Triny ko lang kung kaya niya maremember yung tinuro ko pero yes, proven na talaga na matalino siya. Kanina pinakita sakin pano niya iopen cp ni mommy gaya ng pag turo ko. Sabi ko 1234 tapos blue (yung next button). Ayun pwedeng pwede na siya mag cp without our help to unlock the…
@bmjc98
Picture muna bago ipambayad sa mga bayarin. Sana one day, mabayaran ko lahat ng utang ko sa mama ko para sa susunod, ako naman me pera. Pero sana more successful Wikipedia pages pa talaga para mas okay. Para mas more samples to show and more chances of winning the jobs. Thank God sa talagang very unexpected blessings. 🙏
@bmjc98
That brother who always threaten you with a knife. Fnck!!! If words could kill, I've been killed multiple times because of him.
@bmjc98
When brother thinks I owe him a lot all because he pays me. Lol. So here's the story. Two weeks ago, I already told my brother that I may quit working for him eventually. I have my reasons: 1. It's no longer healthy. Well, some of you might know that I work for him from 12 midnight to 9am for 5 days a week. After my shift, I have to work for my other clients. I only work for a few hours for my own clients, though. However, after that, it takes me longer to fall asleep, even…
@bmjc98
It's incredible how I could pay my mom $800+ in 20 days. I hope I can get more clients in the future. My goal is to settle my debt to her this year. After that, I'll be free as a bird and focus on saving money for my retirement. Char. 💰😅
@bmjc98
Things that made me decide to quit working for my annoying bossy brother: 1. He thinks he owns my whole time just because he pays me. Like for instance, I'm working on the job he assigned me, but he just finished his. He would call me to close his ticket and pretend he was working on mine. After I did his ticket, we would switch again and to my dismay, mine was still not finish. 2. He would blame me whenever he didn't get to solve the issue. Blaming me like it was my fault…
@bmjc98
My life atm. I was kicked out. Haha. At least I got my computer with me.
@bmjc98
Looks like my poor leg won't last that long. Poor leggie. I hope I'll be able to get my replacement soon, so it can finally retire. Those who want show support, I will accept donations. 😁
@bmjc98
Anyone free today? I need a backup for my writing job. ✅ You will have to write short posts for my client's social media accounts. ✅ Just 3-5 sentences. ✅ It can be in a form of tips, guide, trivia, quotes, reviews, and news. ✅ Topics vary from fashion and travel to gadgets and stuff. I need an honest person who can do the job and will do the job. DM me if interested. Thanks. By the way, applicants must be: ✅ Filipino ✅ With laptop or computer ✅ Stable internet PS: The pay…
@bmjc98
I am planning to get myself a laptop as a gift for myself. Although I'm not a fan of this, I think it's a great investment, especially because my nephew doesn't like me to work on my computer when he's sleepy. The laptop will allow me to work while I'm in bed or if I want to work outside the room. I'm thinking of getting a Dell i7 32g ram with a 512g hard disk. It's less than 30k. I guess I can save it in less than a month. What do you think? Any suggestions or…
@bmjc98
Feels good to sleep at night. No amount of $$$ can give you that. And because I went off to bed early, I am now wide awake. Time to get up and do some stretching I guess. Since it's a new day, I will have to make plans on what to do today. Thinking about working for Wikipedia since there are two possible clients that just messaged me again. I thought they left me for good. Anyway, good morning!
@bmjc98
One of the clients that invited me for an interview messaged me this afternoon asking if I was still willing to take the job. I told him I would review the original job posting first because it had been a while, and I already forgot what the job was about. I couldn't find the post, but after looking for some time, I realized the job was already closed. I guess the freelancer he hired didn't work on the page, or he withdrew the job from that freelancer. Either way, I am glad…
@bmjc98
Yung closed na dapat ang job pero nag DM sa akin asking if I'd still be willing to do the job. Yay! Grabeng negotiating pa nito. Gusto sana $50 unang bayad and the rest will be done after the page got accepted. Buti nagawa kong chikahan at pumayag na mag 50-50 ang milestone. At ang maganda pa rito, alam niya ang status ng account ko as Paid Editor sa wikipedia. Kaya no need na ipressure ako kung kelan ma approve yung draft. Thank God for another blessing. Go ra na sa sa Wiki.
@bmjc98
Been talking to this client for a month and finally, we will have our first contract tomorrow. Yay! I think this will be a great start because he told me he has 9 clients waiting for a Wikipedia page. Good luck. My only wish is the Wikipedia editors will start reviewing my drafts and advise whether I need to revise my existing drafts or they are approved, so I can get paid. I already have 5 Wikipedia clients, in which 2 are awaiting for review. Okay, off to sleep now. Just…
@bmjc98
Yohoo! Another client. This is the client that I have been talking to since December. He asked me if he could do $250 for 2 pages. Since his own page is ready and all I need is to copy from his Wikitia and check the references, then it's all good. Plus, $100 right away once submitted the draft. No need to wait until the page gets approved. He has 9 more clients and wants me to do all of those. Yay! Plus, another client is coming too.
@bmjc98
Yung ganito ang pending. Ganda sa mata. Sana lang mag online na tong first 2 ko ng ma submit ko na ang drafts. Yung isa naka holiday pa. Yung isa naman busy at wait ko na lang assistant niya mag contact sakin, which is next week pa. Tapos tong Wiki ang tagal din mag review ng drafts ko. Dalawang naka pending pa. Kung ma approve yun, mababayaran na ako sa Last milestones ko. $80 din yun pag nagkataon. Ang hirap pag paid editor ang stat kasi di ka maka article sa sandbox. Puro…
@bmjc98
Hirap mag work pag ganito. Buti na lang nakatulog na siya. Anyway, sarap mag work ngayon kasi umuulan. Sobrang feel na feel ko ang panahon. Kumusta kayo? Umuulan din ba jan?
@bmjc98
Urgent! I need a Pakistani friend to check on something. There are just two articles that I can't access and need your help to copy-paste the content for me. Please dm me if you have a minute for this. Thank you.
@bmjc98
So it looks like I need another backup since Cherry is busy with her exams now. I need a copywriter so that I can focus on the Wikipedia pages. I have a client who gave me two tasks: 1) for his Wikipedia and 2) for a copywriting job. So far, I have one prospect who can have the job. She's on my DM right now, but just in case, who wants to work with me?
@bmjc98
I'm Back! It's been a while since I last paid a visit here. It's just too many things to do in just a short time. Sometimes, I feel like 24 hours is not even enough for me. Anyway, it feels good to start writing again and sharing my everyday, boring life with you. I kind of need this so badly. Anyway, since it's my first article for this year, I want to share with you my current status as a person and freelancer. I feel like I have so many things to talk about. I'm not sure…
@bmjc98
More reason to grind! Good thing 3 of these are just for clients' approval and 1 that is quite inactive, waiting for further instructions. This means I have 3 that I need to secure and 1 that is coming. Wish me luck!
@bmjc98
The copywriting job is on! I'm glad we have read.cash friends/connections here who are willing to back me up. Thank you, @Sydney2, for your assistance. I look forward to having more transactions with you. Perhaps, one day, I could start an agency, which consists of read.cash writers. I will still need one more backup, though.
@bmjc98
Selfie muna bago matulog. Inaantok talaga ako. Ikaw ba naman ang di makawork ng maaga dahil ayaw ni Boss baby na matulog na wala ako sa bed at naka hug sa kanya tapos mga 1 am work agad. Kaka stress minsan.
@bmjc98
Submitted one of the drafts I created. Now, waiting for the client to review and approve the payment. Also, the 1000-word article is done. Will just submit it by Monday. Hopefully, by then, they will also have the time to check the draft I created for their Wiki page, so I can finally submit it and get paid. Now, time to start the short posts for the Italian client so I won't have to work this Sunday. New rule for me is to make sure I will have the entire Sunday for myself.…
@bmjc98
Just woke up and now time to get back to work. What I like about my routine is I can sleep anytime I want. No need to stay up late just to work. Good morning!
@bmjc98
When I started as a ghostwriter way back in 2019, my client only paid me 150 pesos per 700+ -word article. Since that was my first writing gig as a freelancer, I didn't mind how low the pay was. Eventually, I asked for a raise, and I think she increased it to 250 per article. I know that wasn't enough, but I needed a real writing experience apart from blogging my personal stuff, so I really didn't mind at all. From that small rate, my biggest hourly rate by far is $15. Yeah,…
@bmjc98
2 Wikis are done; 2 active milestones to go! I hope the other client will approve my draft this Monday. I can't wait to get paid for that as well as the copywriting article he asked me to do.
@bmjc98
So happy that for January, I was able to pay mom 47k. Hopefully, I can still do better in February. My goal is to settle my debt, so she have something to save. After that, I'll start saving for myself. Fighting lang talaga for the pangarap sa buhay at mga bayarin. Lol. Thank God for the huge blessings.
@bmjc98
First time to get two contracts in one client. Yay! I guess on my next pay day, I will try to treat myself. I wonder what would that be, though. Perhaps, a new pair of glasses.
@bmjc98
Greeny house. Happy to see that my walls are now painted with my favorite color. We just need to clean the house first. We've just moved in. For almost 2 months of staying at my sister, I'm so happy to be home.
@bmjc98
Yung sobrang antok ka but work is waiting. Work muna ng kunti tas tulog bandang midnight. Sobrang dami kong pagod. Sana matapos ko agad to ng wala na akong iisipin bukas.
@bmjc98
Next goal is to have these. Lucky me my sister's partner knows how to make these cabinets, so I'll be able to save money for the labor. Yay!
@bmjc98

Happy 2 years to us, @charmingcherry08. Thank you for all the help and support. You have been such a great help to my freelancing career. Thank you for always being there when I need your expertise. Cheers for more years to come! So grateful and blessed to have you. <3
