Unplug, Unwind, and Awaken Your Spirit While Working from Home

As a remote worker, you can work from anywhere in the world. You become free to explore the world and gain the ability to re-awaken your inner self.

How To Write An Effective Proposal for Your Freelance Business

You’ve made it this far.

You’ve decided to give your freelance business a try, and started offering your services to prospective clients.

And it worked! You’ve got potential customers who are interested in hiring your services.

It’s now time to create a proposal specifying a few things: What are you set to achieve, how are you going to achieve it and, most importantly, how much are you going to charge for it.

A well-written proposal can be very powerful. It can turn hesitant prospects into enthusiastic customers who can’t wait to start working with you.

A proposal is also a way to show customers how you work. If you write a messy, complicated and unclear proposal, it will give your customers a bad feeling. Is this how you are going to deliver your work? It can cause you to lose a contract. Continue Reading “How To Write An Effective Proposal for Your Freelance Business”

Busting the Top 5 Myths About Remote Developers

The following is a guest article from our friends at Toptal.

Picture this…

You meet your friend Jeff for lunch. Jeff’s been managing development of a new product and it’s about to be released. He’s pumped.

But the product release isn’t the main thing that’s got Jeff so excited. Instead, Jeff can’t stop raving about his new hire, Luis.

Jeff says Luis is the best software engineer he’s ever had on his team. Luis doesn’t just hit targets others can’t, he creates and hits targets others don’t even see. He’s virtually always available, always accountable, and brings more to the table than anyone Jeff’s ever worked with. And Luis just ‘get’s it’.

5 Ways To Take Advantage Of Your Erasmus Scholarship

This article was originally published in Spanish on my own personal blog back on August 10th, 2013, as a way to tell my Erasmus experience studying and working abroad in Poland, and share some tips and recommendations for those college students who are interested in going abroad.

It has been over four years since I first published this article and I still get emails from time to time from students who are considering doing an Erasmus, asking for advice and recommendations.

Since I have been able to help these students over the past few years, I thought it would be a good idea to translate the information into English, for those of you who are considering studying abroad. Continue Reading “5 Ways To Take Advantage Of Your Erasmus Scholarship”
