Current Life:

Balancing life as a mom, Klaviyo Email Marketer, Social Media Marketer, Virtual Assistant, housewife, and budding businesswoman! This was the start of my journey, handling client projects, launching email campaigns, and creating social media strategies—all while juggling family life at home.

Future Life:

Then, I asked ChatGPT to imagine what my life might look like 10 years from now:

Prompt: “𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 10 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼’𝑣𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑜 𝑓𝑎𝑟. 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎𝑛 𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘. 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑙𝑙 𝑔𝑒𝑡?”

ChatGPT’s take? In 10 years, I see my business booming! I’m consulting on global campaigns, mentoring others, and running a tech-savvy home office—still balancing family, business, and life, with even more joy and impact. (Oh, and I’ll have FIVE kids! Who saw that coming? 😂)

It’s about staying true to what drives me today and expanding it for tomorrow. Each choice I make is setting the stage for a meaningful, impactful future—piece by piece, day by day.

When I first found out about freelancing, naintimidate ako.

Kasi naman naisip ko “wala naman akong skill, baka di para sakin yan”

But you know what?

Ang dami palang pwedeng skill na pag pilian. Merong copywriting, website designing, FB Ads, Social media management at sobrang dami pang iba!

Pero alam mo kung ano yung mas nakakagulat?

I learned from the community that I’m in na freelancing is not about your skill pala.

What’s more important is how you can help your clients solve their problems.

Dahil sa community na to natutunan ko kung pano maghanap ng clients online even if I’m not an expert and I’m just a beginner.

Kaya naman I also want to share with you the 12-day Client-getting Challenge inside the community 🙂

Eto mismo yung strategy na ginamit ko to find my first freelance client.

Tried and tested ko na to! Hahaha.

The best part is libre lang din to! Perfect sa mga gusto lang talaga magtry at matuto.

So kung bet mo magjoin, check mo yung link sa first comment para makapag register ka.

This allows you to send highly targeted emails with personalized offers and promotions relevant to each recipient. Generic emails get ignored, but Klaviyo helps you craft messages that resonate with your audience, increasing engagement and sales.

𝟮. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 & 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Klaviyo lets you automate email sequences triggered by customer actions. For example, you can send a welcome email series to new subscribers, a cart abandonment email to remind customers about forgotten items, or a post-purchase email with order confirmation and upsell recommendations. This automates repetitive tasks, saves you time, and keeps your customers engaged throughout their buying journey.

𝟯. 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 & 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Klaviyo provides comprehensive analytics to track email campaign performance.

Site Abandonment and Browse Abandonment refer to situations where visitors leave your website without completing a desired action (like purchasing).

However, there's a key distinction in terms of user behavior:

𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:

This occurs when a visitor leaves your website entirely, from any page. They might navigate away to a different website or close the tab.

• 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻: No specific action is taken on your site. They haven't added anything to their cart or initiated a checkout process.
• 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀: There could be many reasons, like slow loading times, difficulty finding desired information, lack of trust, or distraction.

𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:

This happens when a visitor browses your website, looking at product pages or categories, but leaves without adding anything to their cart or initiating checkout.

• 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻: Browsing indicates a higher level of interest compared to a simple site abandonment.
• 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀: They might not be ready to buy yet, want to compare prices elsewhere, found the product wasn't what they were looking for, or encountered a problem during the browsing process (e.g., unclear pricing, unclear product information).

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬:

• 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀: Site abandonment captures a wider net, potentially attracting visitors who weren't initially interested in buying but could be converted with the right message.
• 𝐑𝐞-𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬: Browse abandonment targets a more engaged audience who have shown some interest in your products. Recapturing them can lead to higher conversion rates.
• 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠: You can tailor the messaging for each flow. Site abandonment messages can be broader, piquing interest and bringing them back to the site. Browse abandonment messages can be more specific, highlighting the products they viewed or offering incentives for purchase.
• 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Tracking both types of abandonment gives you a more nuanced understanding of user behavior. You can identify areas where your site might be losing visitors and make improvements.

By setting up both flows, you create a safety net to capture potential customers at different stages of their buying journey and increase your chances of converting them into paying customers.

This post caught my attention as I browsed through Facebook. "𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻."

P.S. Before you read them, I hope that at least some of these lessons will help you become a better freelancer. Being a freelancer is challenging and constantly evolving. If you aren't exactly where you want to be in life right now, try not to get too caught up in it. You'll get there if you keep up the good work, are dependable, and develop connections.

Google it if you want to be completely self-sufficient!

Why you're doing what your doing?

Because this is where you find your FREEDOM (Freedom to everything)

Why am I in this profession? Why did I choose to service digital clients over corporate clients? Why do I choose to stay at home while caring for my children when I can work on corporates?

Why? Why am I doing what I'm doing now?

🌟 It's because I like the idea of not having to get up early to prepare everything only to get to work and commute.
🌟 It's because I enjoy the concept of being with the kids while I work. (I can multitask by cleaning, playing with my kids, and listening to my favorite music.)
🌟It's because I enjoy the idea of assisting clients in growing their enterprises in the technological environment.

If I didn't become a mom, I would never comprehend how wonderful, pure, and unconditional every mother's love is.

And here are some of the lessons I gained as a mother and a company owner:
⁠
💖 Time is a non-refundable tool.
💖 If you need help, get help.⁠
💖 There will be days when you want to give up, but remember that someone is counting on you.
💖 Fear is not an option when you become a mother.
💖 Whatever others believe or say, you are still a good mother.

There is always a gift in every hardship. 💖

So, how about you? What has been the most significant change in your life, and what have you learned from it?
