Work from Home in the Philippines

Making money online in the Philippines is possible with legitimate opportunities such as Academia Work, advertising (Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network, Project Wonderful, etc), blogging, referrals, cost-per-action sites, surveys, and work-from-home jobs that you can get from sites such as Craigslist, Bestjobs.ph, and Odesk.com.

I quit school about 2 years ago since the point came that I was so busy with work and managing my outsourcing business. Although I quit school, I never stopped learning. I’m a programmer, web developer, and an SEO specialist. I’m also an aspiring writer and on my free time I play online games, read pocket books, and watch animes just like any normal teenager would.

What’s the fastest way to make money online in the Philippines? Get a work-from-home job from the internet. It’s the fastest way to make a significant amount. See the Local Jobs or International Jobs section.

What’s the most rewarding way to earn money in the long run? Definitely passive income generating opportunities such as Adsense, CPA sites, referrals, commission sales from blogs, etc. Having your own blog or site set up will allow you to earn money even while you sleep, even months and years after you last did any work to your blog, and you could continue to receive money for a lifetime for work that you do on your blog today.

Just how much is possible? AI receive around $1,500 to $2000 a month from my work-from-home job depending on how many clients I have at the moment and I’m growing my passive income which is currently at around  $150 to $200 a month from Adsense, ProjectWonderful, AWSurveys, and Revresponse. My goal is to ultimately turn my income to be at least 90% from passive income so I won’t have to work just to earn a living. I look up to the Filipino people earning $1000 to $2000 a month from their blog or website such as the owners of Yugatech.com and Selaplana.com.

What do I do with the money? Much of the money I invest back into my own outsourcing business, we have a small office here in Davao del Sur. I’m really looking at increasing my passive income, and having a business is one of the best ways to get passive income. To some, business is risky. Well, it is! However, my mentors have taught me that it is only risky for people who do not have financial education. That’s why I spend hours upon hours each day learning about how to make money work for me, how to manager people, and how to lead. I listen to audiobooks, video seminars, and other success mastery materials by authors such as Robert Kiyosaki, Anthony Robbins, Bob Proctor, Rhonda Byrne, Brian Tracy, and so on. I find that listening to sales seminars is very rewarding.

How do I send and receive money online? The most common methods are PayPal, UnionBank’s easy-to-acquire 350 peso EON card, Xoom, and Western Union (for Adsense).

Report to your clients regularly. The first and perhaps the most important factor that would be the key to your future success is reporting your progress to your clients on a regular schedule. On a general note, you can have an agreed date, for example, every Saturday. Some clients require that you report daily. Preparing your report well and making sure that the client is updated can be one of the major factors for your promotion or salary raise.

Adopt a No-Surprises policy. If anything goes wrong that could affect whether or not your tasks will be finished on time, then you should report it immediately. If you have any concerns that you think may affect work in the future, raise it to the client immediately so he can prepare for it as well.

Take notes and Keep a Things-To-Do list. Keep your notes and update it regularly. Whatever the client says on the phone, on email, or chat, note it down and add it to your Things to Do list. Keeping a list of your goals is very important. In a study of Harvard students, only 10% of the students had clear goals and these students earn at least 3 times the other students who do not have goals. Furthermore, only 3% of the students kept written goals, and it is this same 3% that earn 10 times as much as everyone else.

Spend 1 hour a day improving your skills. Read books, magazines, and online tutorials. Research news about your latest field from the internet. This will put you ahead your competition–other work-from-home people. Remember that if your client is not satisfied with your skill set and performance, he can always find someone else.

Buy or download free audiobooks on personal success and achievement audio seminars. You can have these playing while driving your car, on your MP3 or iPod, or on a home stereo while doing chores. It is said that one seminar is equivalent to reading 50 books on that field.

Work every hour that you work. When you’re working, make sure that you are focused on the work. Avoid any distractions such as using your Messenger, doing Facebook, or using any other application and trying to multitask. There’s a big difference between the quality and quantity of work of someone who’s focused on the task and someone who doesn’t take it seriously. Trust me, it will show.
