I have been out of work since April 2009. Since then I have tried my hand at doing online work, mostly through writing assignments given by my “mentor”, a fellow work-at-home mom who quit her regular work long before I did.
Aside from the writing assignments passed on to me by Charm, I also tried sourcing for my own writing jobs through oDesk where I did get quite a lot of work. There was even a time I managed to earn P17,000 in a month, but it really took a lot out of me.
