Today is the last day of my past life

It was around August when I stumbled upon an old acquaintance. We knew each other way back. We were actually college schoolmates. After exchanging pleasantries, I asked him what he's been doing and he mentioned nonchalantly that he's doing some freelance work. I got curious and asked what he meant by freelancing. So he explained that he's telecommuting, doing a number of SEO and SMM stuff, among others and making good money to boot. He asked if I wanted to try it. I said yes and he signed me up under his agency. Later that same month he emailed me saying that some one wants to hire me to do some web content creation and stuff. I said yes and, well, that got me hooked!

Now, all I can think about is how this opportunity has escaped me for quite a long time. I snooped around and found out that freelancing has, in fact, been going on for quite some time now. The world is indeed changing, and people are finding out that there are a lot of real opportunities in the virtual world. I can certainly understand the general apprehension people have about the way jobs have gone virtual. It's certainly not easy to retrain our minds about what constitutes real work. But I am sure the earlier we accept that things are changing, the more ready we are to adjust to the challenges, reaping the benefits in the process.

And so I say, that today is the last day of my past life. Well I guess in terms of how I see myself in reference to a particular career. I am going virtual, baby. Freelancing is great. But I am now working on quite a number of new stuff, that should hopefully tickle me all the way to the bank.

This site will be changing too. I am now going to dedicate this site to fellow seekers, (yeah that what I called myself a while back) those who are looking for the opportunities that the worldwide web of wonders is joyously giving. This site will be dedicated to those who are beginning freelancing work, those who are looking for virtual assistant jobs, those who are wanting to be article, blog writers, etc, etc. Let us walk on this journey together.
