Hingi lang po ako advice. Currently po nagwowork ako as SEO Copywriter and Social Media Manager. I found these client 8 months ago from OLJ. Nung simula po $400 po ang offer and my client promised to give me an increase after 6 mos. Bale digital marketing agency po sya and we have 12 clients (going 14) na hinahawakan.
Ang work ko po nung hindi pa nagiincrease is to write blogs to each of the clients that we handle, bale 35hrs per week, (kahit ilang words basta 400 words and up) and sa isang week dapat may blog lahat ng client.
After 6 months nag increase ng $50. Bale $450 per month na sya. dagdag din workload pero 35 hours pa din. may social media posting and blog posting na. Sa social media, ako yung gagawa ng graphics (through canva) and then schedule it. yung ibang client na hawak namin gusto 3 posts per week so bale 16 social media posts per week. Ang tanong ko po is worth it po ba?
Sobrang bait lang ni client kaya nakakahinayang bitawan. And then just recently may nag offer sakin thru upwork na, social media posting. Graphics are already pre-made, may caption na din. Gagawa nalang ng hashtags. Pero hundred plus clients. Tapos $5/hr, and 25 hours per week lang limit. Yan lang yung work. And they are asking if kaya ko mag full time. They also offered me na mag take ng FB Blueprints and sasagutin nila yung certification if nakita nila after 3 mos na okay yung work ko. Digital Marketing Company din sya.
Sa ngayon po, kaya ko pa pagsabayin, pero iniisip ko kung medyo maliit ba ang $450/month para sa social media mngt and SEO copywriting. Or baka ako lang nagiisip non at baka naman ganun lang talaga yung range ng payment sa ganun work.
I hope you can give me your insights if reasonable ba yung $450/month sa SEO copywriting and social media mgnt.. Medyo naiistress na din kasi ako.

Luge ka sa writing blogs tbh. May past client ako before nag ooffer nuon ng $100-$250/1,000 word for SEO content. Ofc at this time hindi na siya hiring. Ung friend ko na writer she usually charges around $30 per 300-400 words.
Tapos may social media posting ka pa.
Going back to Upwork, for me, Upwork is always worth it regardless of the fees. Payment protection kasi PLUS magkakaroon ng laman ang profile mo ie employment history (kung long term man yan) or feedback history (kung project-based/short term man yan).
Kung long-term yan, you can eventually ask for a raise. Nakakahiya man gawin pero masasanay ka din. Ako, simula mag Top Rated ako sa Upwork, kinapalan ko mukha ko manghingi ng increase to the point na hindi ako nahihiya manghingi. Kahit wala pang 1 month ang tenure ko sa client, nagagawa ko manghingi ng increase KUNG dumadami ng dumadami workload ko.
Trust me, later on madidiskartehan mo din ang fees na yan. Nadidiskartehan ko in terms of scaling up, asking for a raise & bidding for more.
I still have a few long-term clients na $5/hr. Hindi ako makahingi ng increase kasi napakahina ng mga businesses nila. Merun din ako returning client na $6/hr. Mahina din business.
Pero to any new clients, hindi ako tumatanggap ng anything below than $8/hr. Diskarte ko kasi sa fees. May exception lang ako sa long-term clients hinahayaan ko na kahit $5-$6/hr pero simpre kung lumakas sales nila hihingi talaga ako ng increase like what I did to my other clients. Merun nga ako Amazon client na $4/hr taz nanghingi ako increase a few weeks later ginawang $7/hr taz hingi ulit ako $9.33/hr na. Nanghingi ulit ako 😂😂 nideadma na ako pero di naman inend contract ko. Tuloy padin work.
VA/CSR lang pala field ko. Promise, matutunan mo din mag scale up at manghingi ng increase.
Oh, and merun pa ako direct client na gusto ako irehire ulit. $500/month. 24 leaves/year paid and with 13th month pay. Di siya open sa recommendations. He wants me back. Unfortunately naliliitan ako sa $500/month. Walang Upwork fees kasi direct. Mas malakas padin ako kumita sa Upwork. Kung sisipagan ko kaya ko maka 6 digits in one month. Diskarte talaga sa fees.
Kaya mo yan. Gawin mong stepping stone ang $5/hr. I started with $5 for a fixed price project. Hindi pa yan hourly. Nag sagot lang ako ng survey 😂😂 kaya keribels ung $5 for fixed price project. first hourly contract ko $3/hr.
It depends, sya palang ba naging client mo (yung 450 a month, for SEO writing??) I'm an SEO specialist and was getting paid really low before, I only stuck around to get the experience I needed. If SEO content ginagawa mo you can charge as high as $15 per hour. :) again, depende kung confident kana sa skills mo and you have the experience you need to charge more. Ung sa $5 per hr naman, kung simple naman pinagagawa keep mo muna as back up para if aalis kana tlaga don sa 450 a month may income ka pa din
