[chofontanilla]

[elarose]

As an event coordinator, dapat trouble shooter at hindi mahiyain. And madami connections sa supplier like may supplier ka ng sounds, photo and video, invitations, gowns, flowers etc. Balak ko dito sa gt mag hagilap ng suppliers para masaya.

Tapos pag may wedding 4-6 ang tao na gagalaw. 1 shadow of the bride yun laging naka alalay sa kanya, the rest tao sa church and reception.

Gusto ko talaga to. Machika ako eh gusto ko yun laging aligaga ako sa kaka assist haha! And masarap maka witness ng kinakasal. Kakakilig.

Hello mga sis, sino po sa inyo may business ng burger stand saka mga tusok2 na mga food like quail eggs, fishballs, squidballs, kikiam, siomai with sago't gulaman? Ask ko lang if mabilis ba ang ROI and how much po kaya ang profit sa ganun? I'm planning po kasi na maglagay sa school sa tapat ng canteen ng mom ko pero ipapabantay ko lang  sa tindera kasi baka magstart din na ako sa hospital training ko tingin nyo po ba okay lang kahit ipabantay lang? and how much po kya ang initial capital? pwede na po kaya ang 5k initial capital? yun lang kasi ang kaya kong iallocate sa ganung biz kasi yung iba i-aallot ko sa online biz ko..



by the way po,  para po sa mga SAHM. Mas okay po ang online selling, masasabi ko na okay talaga ang kita dto kasi naexperience ko din na kumita ng malaki Ito lang din ang source of income ko kasi kakagrad ko lang last year.   pero nabibili ko ang luho pati magkaroon ng laptop at the same time nakakautang sa akin ang mom ko   Dapat lang maganda ang site na paglalagyan ng paninda, pati yung pagkakapic saka pati ang customer service para madaming mahatak na online buyers..

Okay yung ROI ng digital printing business. That's my business right now and na-gain namin yung investments namin in just 1 year. We recently invested in a new printing machine that generates sales reports na rin and may photo editing software na rin.

Okay siyang home-based business, lalo na if malapit ka sa isang school para kuha mo na kaagad yung rush 1x1 pic business

[vixenfern]

for those interested, you might want to consider this, here's another site similar to Odesk: recommended ito ng isang friend ko who is work at home and i think she earns around $7 per hour

https://www.elance.com/

i heard okay naman daw siya but I have yet to try.  I am planning na rin to consider working from home since I am trying to get pregnant and I'm hoping na baka mabawasan stress ko if I give up on my current work if I am blessed with a child.

so mga sisses, hope this helps.

nice thread! I'm into online selling din ng mga native sandals naman from cebu nung 2008 pa ako nag start kaso hindi din ako nag concentrate kasi nag aalaga ako ng baby ko saka other sidelines din na buti nalang di ako na scam. After that eh nagwork naman ako sa office so napabayaan ko ulit. Ngayon nalang ulit bumabalik kaso marami na din kalaban at di ko pa mamarket ng maayos yung online business ko na yun. Just recently naranasan ko naman ang ma scam. I saw a post sa hiring thread dito sa gt about online writer so yun natanggap naman ang problema is di na ako binayaran. Di ko na sila mahagilap siguro out of $43 ata na ginawa ko eh $5 lang ang pinadala sa paypal ko tapos di ko pa ma withdraw, anyway bahala na si God sa kanila. My husband is into loadextreme naman kaso wala kaming pang capital para sa loading business sana so more on recruitment sya kaso hindi din stable so hirap talaga. Meron din sya yung vpn internet 300 per month ba yun, nakakapag connect naman so far pero hindi pa din sapat hehe. Pero thank God nagsusurvive pa din. Gusto ko na nga ulit maghanap ng work kaso kakalipat lang namin dito sa province tapos I'm 4 months pregnant pa so its not possible talaga Magaganda mga ideas na pinost nyo mga sis. IMHO mukhang online selling pa lang talaga ang possible for me as of now pero gusto ko din sana magtinda sa labas...soon

eloading business is always a good business kahit nasa bahay lang.. hindi mo pa kelangan ibenta ang product na toh kasi ang customer mismo ang lalapit sayo.. been in the business for almost 5 years medyo pahinto hinto nga lang kasi madaming inaasikaso.. i started dun sa traditional eloading business pero now nag switch na ako sa 1 sim loads all network.. so far okay naman ang kita.. mabilis ang ROI.. pag mejo maluwag ang time sumisimple simple din ako sa mga paid-to-click sites hehe

This is just my own opinion, based on my experience.

-- Sari-sari store

Not really a great business.
10-20% margins, and easy to copy by neighbors, which means very little, if at all, differentiation.
And the problem of pilferage. Kaya yung tubo mo, kay inday na lang napupunta, kahit ano pang galing mong mag inventory.

-- Cellphone load business

Even lower margins. Need to maintain a phone for loading. Despite what most people think, this is time consuming, that you can use the time for other more productive things.


-- Tutorial business

Pwede na. Especially if may hawak ka ng several tutors.

-- Barbecue sale, Baking, cakes, pastries, putos, leche plans etc.

This too. Usually kasi sa food malalaki ang tubo.


-- Website design and development

Can be profitable. But right now, everybody and their brothers are into web design.

So pababaan ng price sa ngayon.


-- Blogging and other online businesses

This one is very profitable. If you know what you are doing.

Most people are selling physical products online. which is ok... but that doesn't really use the true power of what the internet is capable of.


-- Consulting, Desktop publishing

These are great recommendations.

I agree. Malakas lang ang kita kung nasa main road. But still, mahina pa rin ito.

-- Cellphone load business

Even lower margins. Need to maintain a phone for loading. Despite what most people think, this is time consuming, that you can use the time for other more productive things.

Nasubukan ko na ang cellphone load. Kung puro pautang madaling malugi rin. Also, it's not worth the effort rin na maningil.

-- Tutorial business

Pwede na. Especially if may hawak ka ng several tutors.

-- Barbecue sale, Baking, cakes, pastries, putos, leche plans etc.

This too. Usually kasi sa food malalaki ang tubo.

Haven't tried this. Admittedly hindi ako mahilig magluto.

Yung tutorial, may mga nameet ako who do online tutoring. However, mukhang sideline lang nila ito at wala pa akong alam na malaki ang income nila dito.

-- Website design and development

Can be profitable. But right now, everybody and their brothers are into web design.

So pababaan ng price sa ngayon.

Ito ang main income ko - freelancing. Web design. Yung pababaan ng price would only be true kung marami ang skilled sa isang platform (for example WordPress) or programming language at mas kaunti ang demand. Marami na rin akong naencounter na cases na ang client pa ang nagdi-dictate ng hourly price.

Sa akin kasi, WordPress rin ang ginagawa ko, but I chose to be an expert on it para above pa rin ako sa competition (most just knows the basic).

However, kung may malakas na demand sa isang skill at kaunti ang skilled doon, then mas madaling magdictate ng rates. Ang mahirap lang dito is, kailangan matuto ng bagong skill.

Eventually I will have to go this route.

So it's really the law of supply and demand. At maraming skills rin ang involved sa web design. Given the right skill, or simply be an expert over the rest, you can dictate rates.

-- Blogging and other online businesses

This one is very profitable. If you know what you are doing.

Most people are selling physical products online. which is ok... but that doesn't really use the true power of what the internet is capable of.

I'm also into blogging as my second income.

Tama, it could be profitable or not. Mas marami pa rin akong kilala who are earning cents sa blogs nila. I also have some successful friends who are earning thousands each month from blogging - and yes, they know what they are doing.

Yung mga online businesses, it actually also depends. Some are just able to get by, and very few are able to be successful in online selling rin.

-- Consulting, Desktop publishing

These are great recommendations.

I just know one person is into consulting. Malaki ang per day nya - since foreigner ang client - it's several hundreds of dollars each day, that is, if he is on a project! The project could span for months or a few years. Dito pa sya based sa pinas.

Ang maganda pa sa work nya, he even gets to other countries - all expense paid trip by his client.

[freelancer_babe]

Try not to get into PTCs, autosurfs, doublers, triplers and any other similar programs. They are not really very good home-based businesses. Sayang lang ang pera mo doon because those programs are just akin to gambling which is designed for "investors" to lose their money - even if their program had been up for years.

I've tried them. I lost $200 joining these. Also, there's nothing legit and real in them. Try mong pag-aralan ang business model nila: ask yourself this question - How do these sites earn? How are they able to pay for the domain, webhosting and all the people they have to hire to give payouts and a good programmer the maintain site?

Usually ang mga businesses na ito nagiging scam na after a few days or weeks. Kung nagtatagal man sila, mapapansin nyo na nagiiba bigla sila ng rules or terms nila - it's a way for them kasi to sustain as well as earn from their members.

 I do online selling of bath salt products. Lie low muna ako sa Japan products medyo malaki ang capital, maybe this year na ulit.
 

[cjgcortez]

Im into freelancing for more than 3 years now. Sobrang higpit na ng competition especially with Indians, papatayin ka ng mga to sa sobrang baba ng rates nila. Although may mga clients pa naman na mas prefer ang Filipinos over them.

Other source of income ko is selling diet supplements. So far ok naman siya, mejo mahina ngayong january pero im hoping na maging ok in the coming days.

By the way, I have regular work pa din as an IT Consultant.
