I am Freelancer John!

Hi everyone! My name is John Revo and I am an online freelancer. This is my very first blog site ever and I want to share with you what I have found and will find online that are going to be useful and beneficial in our daily lives.

I'm going to make this blog site as my personal journal or as I would say "online diary." In this blog I will share everything that made me a successful online freelancer on both Odesk.com, Elance.com and anywhere else in the web.

Before I became a freelancer, I was working at a call center company in Clark Field, Pampanga. That was in October of 2009 when I got hired to become a technical support representative for a multi-billion dollar company - Microsoft. To be particular, I was a technical support representative for XBOX 360. Being a tech support rep is tough but enjoyable at the same time. What I mean is that even though it's hard to deal with irate customers, getting those prank calls is enjoyable. It's very stress-relieving to get prank callers on the line. You will know what I mean if you have dealt with one!

It was not long when the XBOX 360 account was removed from our company and was transferred to other call center sites. It was officially removed on the 25th of June 2010. I was so down at that moment, but what can I do? I need to move on and find another job; perhaps another account?

On that same week, I got an interview for a customer support position. And this time, it is for Target.com. Well, to make the long story short, I did not enjoy working at the said account. Due to the high volume of calls received every day and the people that I'm working with are boring and power-hungry, every day was like forever. So I decided to quit and find a decent job, this time to be my own boss!

After resigning from my company, my brother told me about online work - at home. He introduced me to Odesk.com, and let me view his earnings making my jaw drop after seeing how much he's earning! All of a sudden, I thought "What have I done? Why did I wasted so much time and effort on my previous company?" So,  I moved on and registered for an account at Odesk.com.
