I’m 47 years old. Can I Still Find Work Online?

Jasmine here.

We got this email:

I am 47 years old and I have a small business.

I used to do content writing for some foreign clients several years ago. These foreign clients were through Freelancer.com and oDesk (upWork now, I believe).

I have earned pretty good from these online sidelines that time, until the competition kept on nosediving their prices. I got busy with my business then and it is only now that I wanted to go back and explore working online again.

I tried to view the current options and the offers seem to be really low. I am open to learn new things. I also value my time with family.

My question is, even at my age, would the Date With Freedom Seminar still be of great help to me? I would greatly value your honest sentiments.

You already have experienced w.o.r.k.i.n.g online. Nobody really cares about your age — but you already know about that, right?

They care about these:

Can you deliver results?

Can you still type?
Can you move the mouse quickly — pa rin?
Is your internet fast enough or are you willing to make it go faster?

All these questions — ikaw sasagot.

But your question is more about the fear that the seminar won’t help you or it will.

Of course it will.

I made it so that the learning is SLOW — how slow can you get — when there are meetings BEFORE the main event.

The seminar itself is delivered in TAGLISH. All materials PDF are available to the attendees and for those with premium seats (live or download) — they get the videos, audio files and pdf samples of all we show in the event.

You will surely learn lots of new things AND increase your confidence.

Frankly, I don’t want people to depend on UPWORK or FREELANCER. There are LOTs of clients outside of those sites -and you can FIND THEM as long as you know where to look.

I’m in my late 40s myself and like you I also value my time with family.
