A monthly salary usually isn’t enough to have a comfortable life. This is the reason why having “rackets” or “side hustles” is important. It allows you to be more productive and it generates more money for you monthly versus just relying on your job. The money you earn is also dependent on how much time and effort you put into it. That said, here are 5 side hustles you can do today in the Philippines leveraging digital and technology.

1. Be a Grab or Uber Partner

If you have a car, you can apply to be a Grab or Uber driver partner. The great thing about this is that you’re your own boss. You can bring the car out during your free time or during certain windows where Uber/Grab pays more. You just have to bear with the insane Manila traffic but at least you’re getting paid for it.

2.Buy Bitcoin

This is probably the riskiest way to make more money. Given how Bitcoin’s value is skyrocketing right now, you can make a bet on it by buying a certain amount and just wait for it to appreciate. You can sell it later on when the value has grown significantly.

By the way, there’s no minimum amount to buy Bitcoin. You can just start with 500 and learn about it. Once you’re more comfortable, you can start investing more.

3. Sell on Lazada

If you have products you can sell, you can do it via Lazada. They have millions of traffic daily. Think of it as joining a bazaar but instead of thousands of people daily, you have millions of potential buyers. To sell on Lazada you need to be an official business (either sole prop via DTI or company via SEC). You can read more about how to sell online Lazada in the Philippines here.

4. Sell on OLX

This is probably the most underrated way to make more money. Take a look at your house and check which items you’re not using anymore. You can sell those to make money. Just take photos, make an account on OLX, list them, and wait for the buyers. Once you have a buyer, nego the price, sell, and then deliver or have them pick the item up. You’ll be surprised at how much cash you can make through this.

5. Make Your Own Online Store

Last, but definitely not the least, is to make your own online store. This used to cause hundreds of thousands of pesos to do but now you can just sign up an account at Shopify or Shopee and they have ready made templates and services (payment platform, COD, shipping) that you can take advantage of for a minimal fee monthly.

So there you go! 5 ways for you to make more money this Holiday season!

7 Growth Hacks for Business

Armando Bartolome I have been in the business for more than 20 years, and one thing that I love about my work is being able to meet other people who have inspired me and taught me important lessons about entrepreneurship. How does an entrepreneur make his business flourish among other businesses? Here are a few things I’ve learned. Growth Hack #1 Know your products and services I am sure there was a time you approached a salesperson only to find out that he knew little about what he was selling. That is definitely a no-no in business. Entrepreneurs should know every facet of their business. Even if you have a great team working for you, you should still know what is done in every department. Knowledge is POWER! When people ask what you’re offering, you should be able to tell them exactly what your product or service is. This way, you can encourage them to try it.

You may be a funny person who likes to joke around, but when it comes to business, speak to others in a way that that will make them listen and understand your message. Be straightforward. But also be careful lest you come off as sarcastic, proud or offensive. Read Related Story: Grow Your Investment by Growing Your Patience Growth Hack #3 Train your employees Read More …

18 Benefits of Having and Being a Mentor

Armando Bartolome You may be familiar with the popular book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” written by Robert Kiyosaki. I often cite this book as an example of how people have differing views about life. Parents always remind their kids about the value of education. For sure, when we don’t take education seriously, we lose much from life. But success in any business is a combination of many factors. One of the keys to success is learning more and more about your business. Not everything is learned in school and learning does not stop when you step out of the classroom. The wealth of experience of certain individuals is a good source of wisdom for entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs alike. What is a mentor? A mentor is a professional who shares knowledge and advice and helps a business grow. The relationship benefits entrepreneurs, employees and the mentor in many ways. My years of being in the business has allowed me to help many who, I am proud to say, have established well-known brands in the Philippines. This is the reason why I love what I do. A mentor acts as a guide and provides valuable information that can help an entrepreneur manage his business better. Here are some of the things a mentor does: Educates the mentee on how to accept feedback in important areas, such as communications, technical abilities, change management, and leadership skills Helps the mentee better understand the organization’s culture and unspoken rules, both of which can be Read More …
