For the next few days, everyday I akan buat thread about how-to freelancing.
Actionable tips yang you boleh apply.
Watch this space.
Applicable for all copywriters, social media managers, and others too 🫶
Sedihnya tengok ni 🥺
It is a reminder for us all to always check on the mother first.
Selalu org ignore mother yg baru lps separuh mati beranak, org nak tengok cute newborn je.
Sebenarnya kalau kita faham konsep rezeki, konsep qada’ qadar ni kita akan susah nak rasa cemburu dengan orang.
Lama jugak utk I hadam benda ni. Dah jadi macam2 dlm hidup I baru I faham. Bila faham konsep ni kita akan lebih tenang, kurang rasa cemburu tengok kejayaan org lain.
Salah satu kesilapan new seller yang I selalu perasan adalah korang menjual dengan kawan sendiri.
Takut jugak nak keluarkan statement ni 😄 tapi korang baca thread ni sampai habis dulu ok ❤️
I think I finally know what ‘bahagia’ means. It’s not about being happy 24/7. Smiling all the time, living life w’out problems. Nope. That’s not what ‘bahagia’ is. That’s just another delusional perspective of life. Bahagia to me is going through life and ujian hidup dgn tenang.
I tengok lately ni banyak account dropship or business yang baru menapak dekat Twitter. Mostly followers masih tak ramai.
I nak bagi tips macam mana korang boleh NAIKKAN FOLLOWERS korang. Ingat! Jgn sesekali melanggar etika bisnes di twitter iaitu menempel dkt twt org lain.
Jgn la berani2 nak condemn kulit orang. Kita perempuan ni ada banyak stage in life yang akan trigger hormonal acne. Do you know how many people experience breakout during pregnancy? During menopause? Just pray kita dijauhkan dr semua ni. Be kind to one another.
I promise myself before I got married, that I will enjoy my life to the fullest so that bila dah kahwin I wouldn't feel jealous of single ppl and say things like this.
Same goes to having kids, you CHOOSE to have them.
Belajar berdamai dgn keputusan sendiri.
Everytime post gambar of me travelling kat ig, there’s a friend “bestnya asyik travel je, aku nak pergi memang tak la nak bawak budak2 ni”
Ni la yang i cakap rezeki kita ni berbeza.
She got 2 kids at an early age, tu rezeki. I got time to go travel, tu pun rezeki.
Sebabkan ramai yg nak tahu macam mana nak start berniaga di Facebook, here are some simple guide.
I belajar ni dari macam2 sumber dan dah cuba sendiri. Korang boleh try jugak k 😉
A thread 👇
I make it a habit. Sebelum keluar rumah or dalam journey ke mana2, always recite ayatul kursi.
If you want to talk about your blessings or achievement tak kisah irl or socmed always include alhamdulillah and niat jangan nak menunjuk but instead do it as inspiration for others.
Unpopular opinion:
Waking up at 5am isn't a trend you should blindly follow.
When you wake up this early and start your day right away, you will need to compensate for your sleep with a nap time in the afternoon to recharge your body.
If your target market mostly young adult, believe me majority of them don’t have time to traditionally Whatsapp tanya harga.
Young adult = busy & don’t bother to pm tepi seller. They’d rather shop by themselves on Website and checkout terus apa dorang nak.
What can you do?
One thing I realized bila dah tua ni, sebenarnya kita semua struggling. Tak ada pun org hidup senang tanpa ujian. What we see on social media is not 100% of someone's life, mostly fabricated tunjuk yg elok2 je utk jaga air muka.
For me senang je. You akan attract orang yg mcm you. If you are highly ambitious woman, you akan attract successful man. Tapi kalau u ‘bodoh-bodoh sikit’, maka yg datang semua pun adalah idiots.
Rejection means redirection.
I always hold on to this.
Jangan sedih bila you kena reject, because that's God's sign of saying that you don't belong there and it's not the best for you.
He wants to give you something BETTER. You just need to wait.
Sembang dengan budak muda (adik sendiri) pasal kerja Grab vs kerja lain/freelancing.
Rupanya budak2 muda ni ada mindset yang kerja Grab ni lebih 'lumayan'. Tak dinafikan cuma ada perkara2 lain yg perlu diambil kira.
Tengah fikir mcm mana nak fix the mindset...
Fly higher, my ladies.
Don't let any man/woman tell you otherwise.
Selagi tak langgar syariat, tak ada salahnya untuk bercita cita besar, cari duit, inspire other people, and berjaya dunia akhirat.
If you wanna get married, find a man who is not insecure with a successful
I found one Linkedin hack. Tapi I tak sure if this can be applied worldwide ke tak.
But in region where the competition is really high, ada high possibility dorang tak sempat tengok pun u punya resume and application.
It will most likely be viewed by the AI only.
But —
Apa kesannya?
Lama kelamaan, company tak nak ambil pekerja wanita lagi dah.
Wanita akhirnya terpaksa memilih sama ada untuk jadi full-time mom atau full-time worker.
Limited options for women that will end up reducing the birth rate in Malaysia.
1. Putrajaya will consider shorter working hours for women employees to enable them better care for their families, said PM Anwar Ibrahim.
“Kalau bekerja 4 jam, mengikut kadar upah mungkin kurang, tetapi kita boleh manfaatkan wanita yang merasa terdesak untuk jaga anak-anak.”
Jgn main2 dengan relapse. Been there. Ya Allah it was one of the darkest days in my life 🥺
Ya Allah angkatlah sakit, ringankan beban all my friends. Dont ever let them feel alone and give up with life.
I could never forgive myself if I couldn’t save any of my friends.
😔
Job hunting is very tiring 😔 Just hire me already. I swear I won’t curi tulang. I even possess good communication skill. I can be a good asset to your company. I don’t even gossip!!
Can i write this in my resume guys
This Netflix k-drama truly opened my eyes. Baru tahu apa yang ibu2 baru lepas bersalin lalui. The pain, the guilt, the struggle 🥺
I recommend this series for all single/married women and make sure your partner watch it too!
p/s: byk jgk part kelakar!
Guys, if ada any of you yg dibuang kerja, korang boleh try buat freelance dengan skill yg korang ada.
Now ‘Virtual Assistant’ baru nak naik dekat Malaysia. Basically u just kena ada laptop and wifi and u can work from anywhere.
I ada follow a few VA on IG. Check them out 👇
“Malu la nak buat content. Nanti apa pulak kawan2 kata.”
First of all, cek balik dengan siapa you berkawan.
Second, org yg mengata u tu bukannya pay your bills, disregard what they said.
Third, if you tak cuba, you takkan pernah tahu sejauh mana you boleh pergi.
If korang dah lama rasa down, demotivated, out of place, rasa mcm everyone and everything are against you,
The only way OUT is to get out from where you are. Buat benda baru, jumpa orang baru, pergi tempat baru, tukar rutin.
Believe me, you akan rasa NEW and ALIVE balik.
How to make sure by end of 2023, you dah ada at least one skill?
1. Pick one skill now, anything you minat.
2. Enrol masuk online course utk belajar.
3. Boleh pilih free/paid courses di Udemy, Coursera, Khan Academy, Domestika etc.
4. Cari masa utk belajar, no excuse.
8 bulan saya menetap di Middle East,
Boleh kata kemana sahaja kita pergi, bila orang tahu kita orang Malaysia, automatik orang akan senyum dan kita dapat layanan baik.
Orang Malaysia memang terkenal dengan budi pekerti yang tinggi, tak buat masalah, dan menyenangkan.
If you’re a Gen Z, my advice:
You do you, jgn buat something sebab you ikut2 orang.
Know your worth tak bermaksud kena rasa entitled.
Voicing out your opinion doesn’t mean you have to be rude, you can still be respectful.
Being humble can bring you far in life. I learned
Okay, hear me out, I just need to rant.
Managing the new generation feels like walking on eggshells. I don't know whether I should be garang or lenient. Will they feel gaslit if I say certain things like "dia memang garang, tapi dia takda bad intentions, jangan ambek hati"...
I learned this from a recruiter.
Match apa yang ada dalam job description in our resume and cover letter. Baru lah kita 'matching' dgn apa yg position/company tu nak.
I use thematic analysis (sort of) for this.
Buat table ni baru nampak what company wants and how we can deliver
Korang yang cari freelancing or remote working job boleh try Linkedin.
I dulu skeptical sikit dgn Linkedin sebab rasa susah nak dapat.
Tapi rupanya just kena update profile, connect with more people, make sure profile kita tally dgn job yg kita nak.
Then try apply.
I tak suka tengok girls downgrade diri sendiri.
“Org lain pakai lawa, kalau aku jd potato jer”
“Org lain cantik, aku je huduh”
Nampak simple benda2 yg kita selalu ucap ni, tapi sbnrnya it affects our SELF-ESTEEM a lot. Kita create insecurities tak betul dkt diri sendiri.
How do you work fewer hours but earn more?
Contoh, kerja makan gaji:
8hrs/day = gaji RM2500 sebulan
Imagine, if you can freelance:
4hrs/day = dibayar RM5000 sebulan
Possible ke benda ni?
Yep, tapi bukan skim cepat kaya.
Benda ni perlukan constant effort.
Siapa berminat nak
Every year I will make a list of my achievements (small or big) in my notes.
That way I could look back, be proud of myself and be grateful for everything God has given me.
Share with me your list! ❤️
What if I tell you…
You can hire somebody professional to become your content creator buddy?
Somebody who knows how to shoot your perfect angle, find the best lighting, so you can look good in your video.
And the best part, you don’t have to awkwardly bring your tripod and
Semua content creator wajib ada sorang member/partner yang dah faham cara shoot, main angle & lighting.
Kalau main mintak je orang shoot, habisss. Nak shoot balik memang tak lahh.
Terpaksa lah guna skill Editing Maha Dewa 😂
Korang pun mesti ada sorang kan? 👌🏻
Massive layoff everywhere. The struggle is to stay on top of the game. Or create your own game. Asah skill jadi tajam. Tak ada masa dah nak tunggu konfiden datang baru buat. You lambat memang tertinggal. Find a way to become outstanding and rare. Keep learning and practising.
Please, whatever happened jgn buat macam ni guys.
Berhenti elok2.
You don't have to reveal real reason dekat boss kenapa you nak berhenti pun.
Cukup you tender resignation elok2 and leave without burning bridges.
Kita nak kerja lama. And pusing2 jumpa org yg sama jugak.
Kisah lawak minggu ni: Dua staff probation lari tanpa tender resignation letter.
Sorang terus left group hari dapat gaji, sorang tak hadir 3 hari berturut-turut.
Nasib majikan tersakiti 😆
I try cuci tudung putih yang ada make up stains pakai puff sponge detergent from Daiso. Basahkan tempat kotor tu, tuang sikit detergent dekat tempat kotor pastu gosok2 pakai kain tudung je. I tak sental pakai berus sebab nak jaga kain tudung.
Few seconds je dah bersih gila! 🤩
Interesting how bidang content writing and copywriting ni tengah top dkt Malaysia. Paling best if u have knowledge on finance or crypto, u can stand out from the crowd!
Rutin saya mulakan sejak November haritu.
Brisk walking 1-2 hours everyday + sambil dengar podcast 🎧
My favorite podcast so far adalah Mel Robbins Podcast.
Hari-hari belajar benda baru. Less brain fog & lebih inspired.
1. Jangan promote / hardsell dekat kawan sendiri. Korang secara tak sedar akan buat kawan korang rasa bersalah. It could affect your friendship.
Kawan adalah kawan. Kawan kita tu belum tentu target market kita.
Sejak beli bendalah ni tak payah dah pening macam mana nak buang minyak. Lagipon buang minyak kat sinki tak elok. Thanks lah Daiso cipta benda memudahkan urusan di dapur.
Harini cuci washing machine pula! Korang tau tak dalam washing machine korang tu pon kena cuci juga sebenarnya? Pakai serbuk washing machine cleaner ni je nanti habis keluar kotoran2 dlm tu 🤢
I dapat satu idea for copywriter yang tengah cari job.
Go on Grabfood. Pilih kedai makan yang you suka.
Contact them (pandai2 google their contact no)
Then offer to write food description for their menu on Grabfood.
Thank me later 😙
Everytime someone opens up about financial dkt Twitter ni mesti banyak backlash.
I think ppl are tired. Some are not being paid well and jurang pay gap dekat malaysia ni tinggi.
When someone from higher status share how they can afford something, ppl got mad. Understandable.
Guys yang selalu tambah skill with online courses, kat mana korang selalu ambil and legit ke tidak cuba review sikit? I nak learn a few.... tapi tak tahu site mana yang legit.
@tinsyaz
Awal2 lagi dah tunjuk yg bukan customer-friendly.
That says a lot about their professionalism and customer service.
Sepatutnya bisnes servis benda ni paling penting yg boss2 kena train anak buah.
Selain hot water bag & heat patch yoko yoko. Hot pad ni pon berguna for period pain. Mini size & price quite murah compared to yoko2. Boleh cari kt daiso
Ladies, any makeup expert here? I need your suggestion 🫣
Im too lazy for foundation, tak reti nak conceal & sgt malas. But I need something to look presentable + dapat cover my dark scars.
Nak yg lightweight + sensitive skin-friendly.
Help 🥹
Kalau masak makanan oily, letak atas oil-absorbing cooking paper beli kat Daiso je instead of kitchen roll towel. 1 pack ada 50-100pcs. Macam kat Japanese restaurant selalu guna. So makanan goreng tak mushy & still rangup.
Korang kalau sink tersumbat, guna la ni. Ada jual kt homepro. I dah try mcm2 x jadi. Last2 guna ni. Dah x sumbat dah sink dapoq tu. Ni ada kt homepro. Yg haritu mak i beli kt aeon (campaign brg jepun).
Pernah dengar tak orang dapat kerja thru Twitter?
I’m one of them. Actually kalau guna Twitter ni properly, you will get a lot of opportunities. And peluang networking sangatlah besar ✨
Anyone wanna know how?

• Avoid ayat minta simpati
• Letak emoji sikit

When I was a fresh grad (2020),
I pun pening kepala bila nak apply kerja sebab most company nak somebody yg ada experience.
But how do we get work experience if we are not given the chance to work, kan?
This is where you have to be smart 💡
How?
Normalize google dulu soalan simple2, then baru tanya soalan yg detailed sikit.
Bosan la kalau hari2 i dapat dm copywriting tu apa 😭
Bukan sombong tak nak jawab tapi your time is precious, and so do mine. Help me help you.
Untuk sesiapa yang rasa terlambat untuk buat apa-apa,
This is my story ✨
Dari asasi sampai master, semua saya lambat dari orang lain haha 😆
Orang lain buat asasi setahun, saya buat 2 tahun sebab tukar course tengah jalan.
Orang lain buat degree 3 tahun, saya buat 5 tahun
Hahahaha.
It is not about starting early or starting late.
Remember the Adi Putra case? As he lost the appreciation (i know the story is long), the skill just deteriorate through the air.
It is all about living the current.
🧵
Copywriting is a big umbrella ☂️
Bawah dia ada macam2 jenis copywriting.
Pick one, start learning, keep practising and start monetising.
Once you're good at one type of copy, move on to the others. Broaden your skills.
@okmuazh
What women need is a choice.
Pilihan sama ada nak jadi stay at home mom or be a career woman.
Apa yg menyedihkan bila society put women in a box, giving them no choice.
All while using & misinterpreting Quran verses.
Contoh, we badly need female pakar sakit puan untuk attend
Ujian will always be there. There’s no such thing as ‘happily ever after’ in this dunya. All we need is rasa tenang dalam ujian, and resources to go through test in life.
Btw in Islam, we have 'qailulah'.
Those who wake up for tahajjud at 3-5am in the morning, it is important for you to take qailulah (nap time) to recharge your body and mind.
Islam is syumul (covers all aspect of life) indeed ❤️
2. What you can do instead?
Minta kawan tolong RT tweet contohnya. Minta kawan tolong like. That’s okay. Tapi jgn ‘kau nak beli tak weh produk aku jual ni’. Korang secara tak sedar akan buat kawan korang rasa bersalah.
3. Promote je macam biasa on social media. Biar kawan korg NAMPAK apa yg korg jual. Satu hari nanti kalau dia berkenan dia sendiri akan PM korg.
Yg penting dia TAHU shj. Tak perlu kita nak direct/ hard selling pd dia. Kita tak nak any unwanted feeling yg jejaskan friendship kita
Kalau korang ada plan utk berbisnes satu hari nanti, satu je nasihat I. Buat personal branding dari sekarang. Tonjolkan diri bagi org kenal. Bagi value. Ikutlah niche apa yg korang expert. Yang penting promote diri sendiri dulu. Dah ada pengikut nanti senang utk korang berbisnes.
This is true guys.
My first job as fresh grad was 2.8k, second job was 3.5k.
Then I go full-time freelance.
When you have high value, senang nak demand.
Company pun tak kesah nak bayar tinggi when they know they can invest on you.
Bersepah je majikan mampu bayar RM3k tu.
Tapi of course la depa akan pilih high quality talent.
Hg nak company bagus tapi expect depa settle for less. Depa invest duit kot untuk skill dan value hg ada.
Kalau hg power, silap-silap dapat lebih dari hg demand.
Jom kita sembang apa career goals korang tahun 2023?
Share with me where are you now and where do you wanna be by the end of the year.
Join new company?
Belajar new skill?
Career change?
Job promotion?
Kita tak nak jd stagnant, mesti kena aim for at least 1% better this year.
I dont know about u guys.
But when I know somebody tak suka I or anything I mmg akan stay away from them.
I would just block so they dont see my life, my content anymore.
I dont want them to follow me and dalam diam simpan benci.
Apa korg buat dgn haters?
Spending most of my time on Linkedin these days. Applying for remote jobs (US-based) here and there.
Yang I suka most US company ni akan hantar rejection letter.
So at least tahu tak dapat and boleh move on. Bukan kena ghost 🥹
1- Learn copywriting skills. Cari je courses dekat Udemy, Coursera.
2- Praktis menulis copywriting - sambil praktis sambil build portfolio
3- Ada portfolio you can do anything!
Nak kerja sepenuh masa dengan company boleh, nak freelance pun boleh.
Haven't been to Daiso in a while and found so many interesting stuff!!
1) Pump dispenser
This is so easy to use as toner punya bekas. Letak cotton pad atas disk tu and then tekan. So tak renyah and lagi jimat sebab kita boleh control
Cakap pasal konfiden ni, only you can build it. Attend lah kelas byk mana pun, dengar ceramah motivasi sana sini. At the end of the day, it starts with you. Start small dulu lepas tu slowly make it bigger. Jgn tak mula langsung. Konfiden ni dia tak datang sendiri, kita kena cari.
This whole work life balance thing. Buat lah apa termampu dan ikut kudrat masing2.
Tak perlu rasa terpaling bagus macam method kita paling the best.
Dan tak perlu mock cara org lain. Nak hustle, hustle lah. Nak balance, balance lah.
Yg nak kena perli org lain tu knp?
Kita dah tak ada masa lagi dah nak relax2, tangguh2,
Tengoklah macam mana Israhell bantai Pales*ine ikut suka hati dia je.
Time for us to learn, upskill, jadi orang Islam yang berpelajaran tinggi, berguna untuk masyarakat dan orang sekeliling.
Ilmu dan doa jadi senjata kita.
I akan buat POLL this or that tu.
Then, this is the most IMPORTANT part
🌟I akan SELIT posting menjual. Selang selikan dengan POLL. 🌟
That way views stay tinggi dan audiens nampak what I sell.
Zaman likes di Instagram mungkin dah berakhir...
Fokus kita sekarang should be utk followers kita SAVE dan SHARE posting kita.
So kita kena produce content yang BERBALOI utk dorang save dan share.
I love to see people in love. Lain macam vibe dia. The aura. The glow. Datang tsunami pun steady sebab support system kuat. I pray all of you will find your cinta hati soon and berkekalan till jannah 😚
How many hours of sleep we need at night is vary across individuals.
Some people can get by with 4-5 hours of sleep at night. Some need solid 7-8 hours to function well during the day.
Listen to your body and what it needs. Stop feeling FOMO and follow trends blindly.
I nak share some tips utk korang yg berminat nak grow your Twitter account.
I see a lot of people do this, especially niche experts. So jom tiruvasi cara dorang 😉
Ready? Let’s go!
Korang minat copywriting and teringin nak belajar tapi clueless tak tahu nak belajar dkt mana or dari siapa?
Jeles tengok org buat duit dgn copywriting 🥹 Jom let me share some free/paid resources you can use.
A thread 🧵
Mula mula start skincare routine amatlah rajin pastu sekarang malas sebab kena duduk statik. But this silicone mask from Daiso sangat lah berguna. Siap boleh pakai glasses lol
Changes are coming to video on Instagram 📺
At Instagram we’re always trying to build new features that help you get the most out of your experience. Right now we’re focused on four key areas: Creators, Video, Shopping and Messaging.
