It's finally in the news.  A lot of people worldwide, especially in developing countries, have turned to the internet for their monthly cash flow.  In this article, Jeremy Wagstaff of Reuters, features Ms. Sheila Ortencio, a former university librarian turned internet freelancer.  After earning a meager salary, barely enough to support her family, as a universtiy librarian, Sheila shifted to freelancing using the internet and has since earned enough money to buy a land for a house plus make down payments for a condo unit.

Her story is definitely inspiring.  There is money to be made freelancing in the internet.  As Sheila put it, it's the independent and modern Filipino family's way of making a living.  It's a very interesting read.  Read more about the internet freelancing industry after the jump.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through its Bureau of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (BMSMED) conducts free SME briefing sessions monthly at the BMSMED Training Room, 5/F DTI Building, 361 Sen. Gil J. Puyat Avenue, Makati City.

Pinoy Entrepreneur came across this article from Money Sense about five entrepreneurs and how they made their first millions.  Among the 5, three of the interviewees made their first million through e-commerce or simply by selling stuff in the internet.  The other 2 made their millions engaging in real estate.  Given the statistics, it seems like these are the industries to look out for if you want to earn those millions and become financially free.

Having a girlfriend or a partner in life may not what you would equate as happiness but for my friend, at that time of his life, it was.  We have always been taught in life that success brings happiness.  And yet, it doesn't always follows.
