As a mom, I am beyond blessed to have a work from home arrangement. This allows me to be present in my son’s life, but still be able to use my legal background when I’m taking a break from singing the ABCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When people find out about this, they often ask how I was able to land it in the first place. This is actually a tough question — not because I want to gatekeep or was just lucky — but because I can talk about this topic extensively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Story: How I Started Working From Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To give you an idea, allow me to talk about my qualifications for a bit. In the early 2000s, my dad introduced me to a webpage builder. It was a free hosting site with built-in templates and a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) Editor. I used it as an online diary (to be honest, I couldn’t call it a blog at this point), but it was so limiting in what it can do creatively. So, I did my research and studied HTML and CSS to build my first website from scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time I was in high school, I had a semi-decent blog after discovering WordPress, and had a short-lived fan site for Emma Watson. I didn’t earn anything from these websites, but needless to say, I saw potential in what I can do with the Internet, and I knew<\/em> that working from home was possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 2011, and I landed my first online job shortly after graduating from college. It paid peanuts, but I was also helping my parents with our small businesses, so I was up-to-date with my government contributions. When my parents decided to close shop, I knew I needed to make it a full-time thing. Unfortunately, updating my government details was so troublesome as a freelancer — and this is ultimately why I decided to take up law in 2015. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in law school, I had online writing gigs for various clients to help pay for my books (and eventually to keep my mind off the Bar Exam results). I eventually passed the 2019 Bar Examinations, but the results came out in 2020 — at the very start of a global pandemic. Job opportunities for new lawyers in our area were limited due to the pandemic, but I always believed that I could land one online. Eventually, I did; and I won’t say it’s luck. It’s about knowing where to look and how you make yourself discoverable to the right clients. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You’ll Learn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know my story, you have an idea about what to expect from this Mastering the Art of Remote Work Series. I’ve decided to post them in a series-type format because: (1) I only have a few minutes per day to write (so you know I’m not dependent on AI), (2) I want to cover a variety of topics at length without being too overwhelming, and (3) doing so will allow me to arrange my thoughts better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this series, I aim to cover the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The types of online work and debunking myths;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Assessing whether the online job lifestyle is right for you;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The tools and skills you need to land a job online;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Landing a job and avoiding scams;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Once you’re in, government contributions and how to prepare for retirement;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Once you’re in, setting up boundaries; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Answering frequently asked questions that are too random to be categorized. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So, stay tuned as I share nuggets of my knowledge in remote work in the hopes of helping you land one, too. In the meantime, follow me on MommyJev on Instagram<\/a> to get updates about my new posts. <\/p>\n\n\n
