7 Worthy Reasons For Staying and Working Abroad

You must have been reading a lot of articles and posts on social media encouraging OFWs to come home for good. Most of these come from Philippine-based finance coaches who must have seen the struggles and sacrifices of Filipinos working abroad.

Using a PC or laptop, a webcam, a headset, microphone, and a high-speed stable internet connection, an OFW can work online during their spare time and earn as much as or even more than what they are receiving from their foreign employers.

**Starting a business can be a struggle for every Balikbayan. If you are preparing to be a freelancer or entrepreneur in the Philippines, then you will need to get registered and file your taxes. You can do this with the help of Taxumo.

If you are an OFW, here are seven online careers that you can consider to start working on to be ready for your homecoming for good. Continue reading 7 Promising Online Careers for Would-Be-Balikbayans
