Wanna get inked?

If you’re looking for yet another way to be creative… to express yourself… or heck, to hide imperfections (like scars and pimples without having to get the best acne treatments lol)… why not get inked. And while you’re at it, do it at Black Maria’s Tattoo Body Piercing Studio.

The shop’s over at Brgy. Carmona in Makati… in front of PRC. You may contact them at 09196404562/2381396 if you got Qs. Look for PJ Pangan.

Home-Based Business

June 2, 2010 · Filed Under business · Comment 

What would be a nice home based business?

Im not really a “raketista” (that’s someone with side jobs or gigs) when I was growing up. I remember back when I was little, I would help my mom (who’s got “rakets”) prepare ice candies (hehe) but eat them after lol, or well, eat all the lip gloss when she tried to be an Avon lady (the chocolate ones, haha).

It’s only after college that I learned to appreciate the idea of having a business. I started doing research, and meeting people. Then I began to try being in business. When candles were “in”, we (with my cousin and a friend) made and sold a lot. We stopped because we think our product got copied. :( Then we put up a tiangge, but stopped because we got busy. Then I got into home essentials selling ahaha. Then, there’s me making jade bracelets, with my mom’s friend as client. Of course, I still do graphic design (logo, brochure, etc) for people.

I’m positive that there is a business out there for me. Something that’s “more” permanent. If you have something in mind, please give me a buzz. Thanks.

Home Business Idea

January 31, 2009 · Filed Under business · Comment 

bling it on

Now that a lot of companies are downsizing, and more (and more people) are getting laid off, maybe it’s time that we think of putting up even a small business — a home business of sort, just in case.

This is something displaced OFWs could do, especially since the government has a fifty thousand peso-loan offer for them, through the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA)… or what jobless people could do while on the look-out for a new job.

So far, these are a few home business idea you could get into:

Home Essentials. If you are the type who loves to clean and would wanna help others “clean up”, you might enjoy learning how to make detergents and dishwashing liquids, or fabric softeners or car wash stuff. I’ve actually attended a workshop of this (got the contact from an entrepreneur.com), and for a while, was able to save money because I need not buy some home-cleaning stuff… I was able to sell a lot too. I just stopped because carrying bottles is not my thing, they’re too heavy. Hehe.

birthday banner

Personalize It. If you know graphics, like Photoshop — heck, even MSWord, you could put up a home graphics business. Of course, first, you have to brush up on your skills, think of what you’d be offering — will you be designing birthday banners, or invitations, or albums, or even business cards?… Then, build a portfolio (which you have to put up on websites, even free ones like multiply.com) for people to see (future clients, hello!). Wait for calls, or if you want, you could market your “online portfolio” first… then, that’s it. This is actually one of the things I do, as a side job. Hehehe.

blog

Write your way to the Bank. Instead of riding, why dont you write your way to the bank… And how? By either blogging or becoming a ghost writer. Yeah! If you wanna be a pro-blogger (that’s those who earn from blogging), set up a blog, put ads on it, and then register on sites that would give you moohlah. It’s a decent way to earn extra.

Bling Thing. I remember about three years ago, I did a line of jade jewels for a sideline.. It’s after I attended a workshop on jewelry-making. I was fortunate because someone commissioned me to do the jade jewelries for her to give as gifts back then (it was nearing Christmas)… I also taught my mom to do this, and we were able to sell even fancy ones. We get our supplies from Quiapo. :)

So there… a few home business idea.. Truth is, these ideas I wrote are the ones I already tried (or am still doing). Just do what you love, and with patience and self-belief, you’ll earn from it. Who knows, eventually, you could even put up franchises for your own business. *wink*

Goodluck!
