Christine enjoys the autonomy and freedom of working online. She does not have to work more than 8 hours a day. Since she only takes orders on topics she is already very familiar with, she can finish them in less than 3 to 4 hours. This allows her to complete 2 to 3 projects a day.

For Filipinos students studying overseas, freelancing as an academic writer has become the norm. Freelancers enjoy the autonomy and freedom not found in traditional jobs. Freelancers can pick the orders they want to work on. If they are experts in one subject like Psychology or Mathematics they can maximize their earning capacity by concentrating on these subjects.
