During the workshop, we can help brainstorm on freelancing opportunities for you, if you are a newbie or solidify your freelance business plans, if you are a current freelancer through the help of our guest freelance experts.  

These freelance experts are actually making a living as independent entrepreneurs while working from the comfort of their own home.

Meet The Freelance Experts

Nica Mandigma – Virtual Assistance Expert

nicaI have known Nica Mandigma even before I started Freelance Blend when I met her as a panelist at the Freelance Camp last 2013.  I consider her one of my freelance mentors and I have partnered with her in setting up our Meetup group – Freelance Blend Manila.

Nica is an expert virtual assistant, having worked for many influential bloggers in the U.S., namely Chris Ducker and Pat Flynn.  And she gets her clients, not from online freelance marketplaces but via word-of-mouth marketing, referral, blog commenting, social media and also through her website, TheVirtualOnlineAssistant.com (currently being redesigned).

Learn all of Nica’s tips and tricks at the workshop on January 23.

Like many of us “jack-of-all-trades” freelancers,  Ginger juggles her various entrepreneurial endeavours while taking care of her young family.

During the Freelancing for Beginners Workshop, get the opportunity to ask about Ginger’s productivity hacks — how she manages all these responsibilities and at the same time taking more projects and new business opportunities along the way.
