FBP 043: Winning Tips from The Freelancer.com Team and The Fast 50 Rising Online Jobs

by Marv de Leon on Jan 17, 2015


FBP043-Freelancer Team-Fast-50

During my interviews with Jojy Azurin, Freelancer.com‘s Regional Director for Continental Asia, (Episode 37) and Evan Tan, Regional Director for Southeast Asia (Episode 39), we mentioned that we will talk about in a future podcast how freelancers can take advantage of one of the top freelances marketplaces in the world, Freelancer.com, and also answer some of the most frequently asked questions about their service.

Boxing lessons inside the Freelancer.com office.

And so they invited me back into their brand spanking new office at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, where Jojy, Evan, Jieneb Kho (Freelancer.com‘s Media Relations Officer) and myself recorded this podcast episode.  It was in fact recorded sometime in November 2014, and due to some other pre-recorded episodes for December, we were only able to release the interview this January.  Hence, some of the events that we discussed during the interview may have already passed.

But the winning tips that Jojy, Evan and Jieneb shared especially for Freelancer.com newbies will surely still apply today.  Also, at the time of the interview, the Fast 50 report we spoke about refers to the November 2014 release.  Freelancer.com has recently released its January 2015 report, which you should also check out in the Links sections below.
