Edit:
– administration and virtual assistant services
sorry it was a typo, I guess that is not a very good mistake to make, while applying for jobs.
I can also work as an Ar. language tutor but I am worried power offs, and if I was not able to be available in time for the session.
This can improve soon once I fix my power situation.
Generally speaking, working offline or (online but with permanent clients) is better than freelancing online, as competing in oversaturated freelancing platforms forces freelancers to lower their prices which can be unfeasible for many people.
However I understand how this can be the only option for many people especially humanists at risk or on the run (including me).
Online freelancers in third world countries face many additional challenges such as:
– Law wages for big projects which is time-consuming, and will result in their inability to save up to afford to improve their situation either inside or outside their country.
– The shortage of basic requirements to work online, such as electricity, and internet, due to repeated power and internet offs.
– Some humanist at-risk live in situations where their environment (accommodation/people around them) might not be suitable to work online, or learn new skills, and shifting from there if possible might increase the cost of living (shifting to a private place, a safer place, getting a power generator and buying fuel for it)
– The ever-changing nature of freelancing project require the freelancer to keep learning new skills to adapt to each project which slaws him down and will result in him finishing fewer time-consuming projects for a cheaper price.
In conclusion, I would say that working online but with more of a permanent contract is the most suitable option for humanists at risk or on the run.Personally, for the time being, I can provide:
– Admiration and virtual assistant services in both Arabic and English ( such as social media account managing, data entry, social media posts design, research, copywriting….etc)
– I can also provide audio and video transcription and subtitle services in both Arabic and English.
– Arabic and English translation services.If I got any spare time soon I will also work on dusting off my graphic design/ 2D and 3D modelling and AutoCAD skills.
