Mar 9, 2021 • Kyzia Maramara
You’ve probably realized by now that in order to fund your dream of a comfortable lifestyle, you need to have more than one source of revenue. A comfortable lifestyle these days does not only mean getting to order food every now and then and buying all the luho you want. It’s being financially secure and stable so that even if *knock on wood* one of your family members gets ill, you can dip into your savings and pay the bills. And now that most of us are working from home, now is the best time as any to try out your luck with freelancing. Check out these freelance Facebook groups you can join for free.

Digital Marketing for Introverts
You need to learn how to effectively market yourself if you’re going to be a great freelancer. But what if you’re shy and introverted? When it comes to supporting introverts in their endeavor, the Facebook group Digital Marketing for Introverts is doing a very good job. The group was started by entrepreneur couple Demi Bernice and Beau Norton who seek to impart the knowledge they’ve gained over the years as freelancers. You can simply lurk around the group (can’t blame you, you’re an introvert) and watch Beau and Demi’s Facebook live sessions for freelancing lessons. But don’t be afraid to post from time to time too, you’ll find that it’s a great support group for when you’re still learning the ropes of going on your own. Join here.
