FBP 001: Fitz Villafuerte – How a Civil Engineer used Freelancing to Become an Award-Winning Blogger and a Profitable Serial Entrepreneur (Part 1)

by Marv de Leon on Dec 13, 2013


In our very first episode, we have no less than the award-winning blogger, personal finance expert and serial entrepreneur, Fitz Villafuerte of readytoberich.com.

Fitz Villafuerte

This is part 1 of a 2 part series.  We had quite a long conversation with Fitz full of stories, tips and tactics, which you will surely love.  That’s why we had to cut the show into two.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • How Fitz started as a freelancer and how he marketed himself as a freelancer to get more clients.
  • The keys to success in freelancing.  Fitz mentioned about 6 keys to success.
  • How Fitz used freelancing as a stepping stone to becoming a serial entrepreneur.
  • How Fitz started new businesses every year and how he juggles his online and offline businesses.

Resources and Links Mentioned in the Show:

1. Fitz’s online businesses:

  • Bloggershirts.com – Launched in 2012, this is his online vending machine.  Why don’t you order a shirt now?
  • 199jobs.com – Fitz’s project for 2013.  199Jobs.com is the Pinoy version of elance.com and freelancer.com.
  • Blogacademyphilippines.com – A blogging course launched this Dec 2013.  I myself have joined the course and I will share with you my experience at Blog Academy.

2. Wunderlist – Fitz’s favorite productivity App.
