"As the economy is shifting, you need to have legitimate and creative sources of extra income. There are opportunities that people have been using for now."- Franklin Gillette
I love this quote and use this not only to attract my readers and followers but also to make a wake up call.
We have been whining that life is hard and income for the family is not enough but we have not tried hard enough. Opportunities are there for us to grab and use it to fight against poverty.
Here are some of the Actions you might want to take to make :
1. If you have an extra space... Rent it out!
You can list your space in AirBnB, HOtels.com and etc.. If you are a good host with a space that is desirable( in a holiday spot... or within the metro... near the embassies or near the airport) you can earn thousands of pesos.
Tips:
a. Make your space available on high season... (holidays or events near the area).
b. Be a good host... make sure you have stock of toiletries.
c. Add a personal touch... (free coffee... a welcome note... or something that they could not get in a commercial space)
2. Do Online Surveys
Another way to earn extra is to answer online surveys.
There are several companies that are willing to pay to know what consumers want. Try MOBROG, Triaba, PanelPlace and many more.
3. Be a Social Media Manager
Some online business owners and organizations doesn't have enough time to manage their social media account and pay to delegate the task of managing theirs. This can be one of the opportunities you may love doing.
4. Become a VA (Virtual Assistant)
Virtual assistants works remotely and provide administrative or personal assistance to several clients.
This is something you can do in the comfort of your home.
Here are some tasks a virtual assistant do:
a. Content writing
b. Proofreading
c. Project management
d. Graphics designing
e. Bookkeeping
f. Data entry
g. Schedule management
h. event management
and so on...
5. Be Grab Driver
All you need is your own car and a smart phone.
You either drive it part time or full time or hire someone to drive your car and they pay you a daily fee.
Grab is now a means of transportation and has been preferred over taxi.
6. Travel Coordinator
You can arrange tours for other. Philippines is a holiday destination and there are a lot of places that are yet to be explored.
Choose the famous tourist destinations and come up with an itinerary that others may find comfortable and have fun.
Then partner with a hostel or hotel near the location of your planned itinerary.
7. Are you a good Salesman/woman? Be a Part-time Real Estate Sales agent
Some Real Estate company pay Part time sales agent and give them commission on sales.
If you have a good network, you can make money from this.
8. Commit to Star your OWN BUSINE$$
There are a lot of business ideas out there. All you just need to do is Commit and START!
Here are some businesses that you want to venture:
a.. Sari Sari Store
b. Online Selling
c. Event Management
d. Photobooth
e. Catering
f. E Loading
g. PERFUME Business.(TRY JM2S)- i will explain more in my next blog.
9. STOCK MARKET
It can be scary, confusing and complicated but once you have learned and master the trade, it is woth the risk to take!
10. BUY a REAL ESTATE OR CONDO
If you have enough money to make this investment, I suggest to do so. When yo buy a property in its pre selling stage, the price is comparatively low than the price when the property is already built.
You can buy now and rent it out for several years and sell it in a later time. Rental properties increase its value over time.
There are more sources that I haven't included but hope the items I listed above help you start yours NOW!
