The Philippines has one of the largest freelance workforces on Upwork and a long history of working for American clients. Filipino freelancers know the night shift well, because the American business day falls right in the middle of the Philippine night.
So many freelancers offer similar services that specialising is the way to stand out. A profile and proposals built around one service for one kind of client do far better than a general virtual-assistant pitch in a very crowded category.
When clients start work, in Manila time.
When clients on the US East Coast start work at 9:00 am, it is 9:00 pm in Manila. That's the evening, when most people are finishing for the day. The best jobs go up just when you're least likely to be watching. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 3 hours behind Manila.
| Client market | Their 9:00 am is | Their 5:00 pm is | For you that is |
|---|---|---|---|
| US East Coast (New York) | 9:00 pm | 5:00 am (next day) | the evening |
| US West Coast (San Francisco) | 12:00 am (next day) | 8:00 am (next day) | the night |
| United Kingdom (London) | 4:00 pm | 12:00 am (next day) | the working day |
| Australia (east) (Sydney) | 6:00 am | 2:00 pm | the early morning |
Upwork bidders for every major city in the Philippines.
The cities are grouped by province. Each city page tells you what its freelancers are known for, how that changes the bid and when the main client markets start work in local time.
What a dedicated Upwork bidder does for you.
Picks the jobs first
We agree a written targeting profile with you. It covers categories, your lowest budget, client history and warning signs, and it decides which jobs are worth your Connects.
Covers the hours you can't
Someone watches the feed across the time zones your clients post in, so good jobs get an answer while they're still new.
Writes to the brief
Each proposal opens with the client's problem and the piece of your past work that's closest to it. We don't paste templates.
Shows you the record
We log every proposal, view, reply and interview and go through them with you each week. You see real counts.
Questions people ask us.
Do you work with freelancers and agencies in the Philippines?
Yes. We work remotely with freelancers and agencies across the Philippines, including Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 3 hours behind Manila.
Do you have an office in the Philippines?
No. Improvexus is based in Pakistan and works with clients in the Philippines remotely. We handle the targeting, the proposals and the weekly reports online. We'd sooner tell you that plainly than pretend to be around the corner.
Do you guarantee jobs?
No. The hiring decision is the client's and nobody can promise it. What we commit to is the work, which means the targeting, the proposals and a weekly record, and we show you what came of it.
