Feel good moment for an online worker.

I received an email today for an offer to do some copy writing for 2 retail sites. Nicely, they learned about me from a former client of mine. And the former client gave my email and I suppose an okay recommendation.

I want to do it but I also want to think more about it if I can deliver... (considering my current sit, hmmm... )

Whatever I decide, I suppose one of the greater feel good moments an online worker can experience is affirmation from former clients that one's work is okay by passing you on to other people who need your services.

Resident freelancers - Guilty from Accepting Short Projects? Don't Be!

If you're like me, who has a rockin' cool, kind client-boss for your regular stint, you will feel terribly guilty to accept short projects and earn extra.  I have been with this client-boss for some time now and appreciate the work and the friendly collegial relationship.  I felt working for other people takes away the time I should be spending on that client's company.

However, prices of basic commodities are not the same as when I started working for this person.  I knew I needed to earn extra, and I can do it doing what I do best - Working online tasks, as well.

And wait, it's not like I'm slacking off for that person's company.  It's just that I spent about 12 hours a day on my regular job.  I just had to cut it and make it, say, 8hours (as it should be X_X)

But then, I noticed a pattern when I started accepting projects.

I found that I had nothing to be guilty about. Accepting projects also  benefits my regular online employment.

Weh...  Really?  Yes.

When I have short gigs, I am constantly inspired to work on my regular job and do so the shortest time possible, so I can work on my projects.  As when I work on my gigs, I am inspired because it is always fresh and new.  I also do my best to work fast, because I profit when a job is finished immediately.

So the next day, when I report to my resident work, I feel happy, fresh and inspired to do the work.  

Both clients win.  And I win with my extra earnings, and my moxie is refilled each day as well.
