Pinoy Cash Homebiz 101 - Cellphone Repair

Who says you need to be a 4 year course graduate to be able to repair cellphone? If you still think you need to, You are wrong! I even see high school student who make part time repairing cellphones. Yeah sure Having been a graduate in a major Bachelor course is a plus but it will go down to the person interest, And common sense to be able to repair one.

If you want to start this business first try to find a good place that teaches you to. How find a good school? simple just check if they are tesda accredited, they had a business permit to teach how to repair cellphone and be sure that they are not those 1 week and you could repair already. It should be a modular type of learning meaning it should compose of proper introduction and theory. then most of the time hand on practice. They do give certificates after finishing the seminar. But after that don't expect to be a super technician you will still need to learn form experience and i tell you! you will mess up many cellphones before you do become good.

Most of this days cellphones runs in symbian os and other advance os. But still you need to start to learn how in dct3 cellphones before you jump in to dct4 and those symbian phones.

What you need?

1. Study how to repair get you certificate

2. Secure your business Permits even if you do work at home it is very necessary to have one.

3. Get your tools
* A soldering station = 1500 peso
* Cables for Dct3, Dct4 and other cables expect to spend atleast 15000 for it.
* A PC use for flashing and software downloading. ( if you already own one then it is great.)
* Griffin Boxes = 5000 - 15000 peso
* Tools for opening Phones = 500 peso
* Parts spend atleast = 3000 peso
* Softwares = 1000 peso

If all are set? then you are good to go. Always have a good contact to the school you learned i'm sure they do ave online support so you could always message them if you need help. And there are many forums online that could help you. And software are free to download so internet is a must if you want to have a good service.

try this business and those capital i tell you will return in no time. One of the most profitable today because people do own multiple cellphone and when those gets broken down? its your turn to shine!

Pinoy Cash Homebiz 101 - Invitation/Holiday Cards

Another nice homebased business if you do got a Pc And a good software for making calling cards, wedding invitation cards, birthdays, and other designer sets ones. I would recommend using a Adobe Photoshop, Corel for this kind of jobs.

Very easy to do and start, at first all you need is to ask close relatives that you could do this service to them and news gets spreaded fast sooner or later you will have you entire neighborhood as a client.

Use a variety of specialty papers some will cost 10 pages for 20 - 45 peso depends on the quality.
Thicker papers are recommended for calling cards and slimmer ones are normally for invitational purposes.

A good printer is a plus in this business and try to use those with continues ink flow system the ink cost is much cheaper. It is easy to find someone who could convert your existing printer to such, Bubble jet and epson printers can be converted. A hp seems to not yet used this days for conversions. It cost around 3000 peso for a conversion and you could also buy a converted ones.

Pinoycas HomeBiz ideas 101 Eatery

Philippines is a great place to sell foods, people loves to eat. Starting a nice business in providing this need is a very good idea. It is not hard to start but having customer is the real work. And you should cook a great tasting meal also, people here are into budgeted foods because most of the people you will provide service with are from the class c and d. Meaning those low income earners, So a affordable but delicious meal would get them attracted to eat from your stall.

This could be in front of your house if you do have a small space for this business and have some potential neighbor customers or best if you live in a semi commercial area like near a school or work places, all you need is to get chairs and you could use your own kitchen utensils as a starting tools. Make a menu that is affordable don't make menu that is too costly, consider the budget of your potential customers. A good start is a meat and a veggie viand with rice and soup, price them between 35P to 45P.

If you do have some more capital to spend then you could go and rent for a stall in commercial places but the best place for this is inside school campus or near schools and work places. Try to consider the population you are to server and the cost of the rent and the materials you will need to operate, if your business plan looks ok then try to start. And to experiment with gimmick such as free soup or unlimited rice to get more customers.

This business could be for you if you are a good chef, or know someone who is and ready to partner with you. My mother used to run this kinds of business and even try to contact schools and work place if you could deliver foods they order for lunch or merienda/snack time. this way you get to give more option for you food service and get loyal customers.

Try also to have a quality affordable meals, don't serve spoiled meals and so your name will have credibilty, Try this and good luck! getting up early to buy fresh meat and veggies is a must!!
