I sat on my sofa today surrounded by different client packages, and I had to take a second to process it.
Six months ago, my inbox was nothing. I remember sitting up on a midnight after finishing my daily routine, sending out cold emails a day to lifestyle and wellness brands, only to get zero responses nor automated rejections. I didn't have a huge background in video editing, so every unread email made me question if I was just wasting my time trying to make UGC work. In the beginning, I was pitching like an influencer offering a shoutout.
When my response rate jumped, I was completely in awe. I guess it's skill issue but this is already a small win for me. I mean, I don’t want to be another person on the internet making UGC look like an effortless side hustle. It’s not easy money. It took me so long to reach this point. But I wasn’t able to stress about it because I’m a really busy person. Especially since I live alone.
If you keep showing up and keep pitching though, I’m sure the yeses, if that’s even a word, will eventually come through.
Hi po
Gusto ko lang mag vent ng problem kase sobrang bigat na. Nakatigil nako mag sugal and 4mos sober pero yung utang ko sobrang laki na lage negative yung income vs bayarin. Tapal lang ng tapal kase hindi ako pwede magka record.
Now relapsed ako at nag give in sa pressure. Hindi ako proud and I really hate myself for not stopping. Pero yung 4mos na yun hindi ako tumigil maghanap ng part time para madagdagan income ko. Willing nako mag bawas ng tulog para dun kung remote work mga US Eastern daytime. Kaso wala talaga, kung ano ano job sites na pinapasukan ko araw araw spending almost 4hrs a day kakahanap.
Nakakapagod na. Baka may alam kayo or kahit words of wisdom lang kase litong lito ako right now. Ayaw ko na ng ganito. Gusto ko na isuko lahat. Alam ko deserved ko to pero wala naba pag asa pag ganito? 🥹🥹
Hi po. Question lang sana if maganda mag apply sa BDO. Currently working at a local bank at 50k basic JO rank. If lumipat ako sa BDO for ranks JAM3-AM magkano kaya pwede i range. Also, may dependent po ba sila sa HMO if single? Malaking factor din kase saken yun. Thanks sa sasagot 🙂
Hello guys para to sa mga hindi nakaka alam ng self exclusion and mag sshare lang ako ng experience ko dito.
Nag apply ako ng self exclusion online, hindi siya gaya sa isip ng iba na need pa ipadala sa pagcor. Ang tip na ma ssuggest ko is pagka fill up nyo ng form, kumpletuhin nyo syempre. Then pag eemail na kay Pagcor, yung subject nyo gawin nyo like ganito “5th follow up: SELF EXCLUSION” tapos yung body is mag assert kayo na kelangan na matigil kase lulong na kayo. Nag effect yung saken within a month.
2nd tip: may mga site pa din na hindi ako na block. Ang ginawa ko nag chat ako sa support or email gaya sa bet88,playtime at okbet. Sabe ko may self exclusion ako in effect kay Pagcor paki ban ako. Di sila nanghihingi ng proof, within 24hrs na ban account ko.
Try nyo din Gamban malaki tulong at hindi dapat ikaw yung mag iinstall.
Pero pinakamalaking tulong talaga saken is pag hingi ko sa Diyos ng tulong. Araw araw, oras oras. Mga mahal ko sa buhay na sumusuporta.
Itigil na naten sugal guys sobrang dame na naten nababasa experience pero masakit pag ikaw na mismo humantong sa ganun. Hindi pa huli para satin lahat. Makakabawi tayo sa malinis na paraan.
Hi, naghahanap lang ng advice or support (not financially) pano makakabangon sa pagkalubog sa utang na dulot ng sugal.
Nakatigil nako, almost 4months na with in-effect self-exclusion.
Pero nabibigatan nako sa bayarin. Hindi kase ako pwede magpa OD dahil ang work ko ay covered ang good credit standing. Litong lito nako, hindi ako maka consolidate dahil nga malaki pa utang ko wala na nag aapprove sakin. Hindi ko tinitigilan mag apply for remote part time work pero dahil ang experience ko is admin/office work, hindi ako makahanap minsan hindi naman tumutugma yung schedule ng interested saken.
Parang ang focus ko lage is maghanap ng sideline pero hindi makakuha.. Nag deactivate na nga ako sa social media para d nasasayang oras ko.
Napaka emotional ko lang lately dahil naalala ko yung Ex ko na iniwan ako dahil sa kaadikan ko, bumabalik lahat nung bigat na para bang napaka fresh pa.
May pag asa paba yung ganito? Salamat sa mag aadvice.
I’ve been working in local banks in the Philippines for over 13 years, currently as a QA earning around 45k gross monthly. This is my 3rd bank, and mostly long-term ako sa bawat role.
Solid naman ako sa branch operations, QA, KYC/AML, and account handling, pero mabagal yung progression dahil sa hierarchy and minsan internal politics. Dati okay lang sakin mag-stay and grow internally, pero ngayon narealize ko na limited yung salary growth lalo pag “homegrown,” and I really need higher income due to financial responsibilities.
For those who made a similar move:
* Nag-stay ba kayo sa banking or nag-switch ng industry?
* Anong roles or companies yung worth it targetin for better pay gamit yung experience ko?
* Malaki ba talaga impact ng referrals/backers or okay pa rin mag-apply direct?
* Anong salary range reasonable for someone with my background?
* What’s a good range to accept if I move to Makati or BGC (currently based in South Luzon) so I can still have a decent take-home after expenses?
* Ano side hustles ang bagay sa banking/ops experience?
What would you do in my position? Salamat po sa mag sshare.
