making a living in the phils

[robbie bobby]

steve the only way to make money here is to pend a lot of money to start with .I have done the sari store and the grillhouse both produce very little profit to talk about .I have just gave up on the idea altogether ,its very easy to lose your money here its hard to compete with the locals at their own game.for instance if you start a business and it seems to be going well someone will come along and open the same sort of business to right next door lol.The only thing I can think of that might suit you would be renting bed spacers or rooms out in your area .my income comes from the house I own which allows me to live here ok .my g f is always complaining because she wants to work and have her own income and so far I have not found the right thing for her to do .

My plan was to rent a space or even use the house in Phils and buy 8 chest freezers.

Selling ice is a good income if u can manage to get rid of enough.There is always need for ice.I did the calculations and for a £3000 investment a steady income of about £150-£200 weekly is acheivable.It might take some time to gain a customer base but once up and running it would be a fool proof plan.It still remains to be seen tho......

well we sold ice in our sari store and at 1 peso a shot we still could,nt sell much .I think if you factor in the cost of electricity I think you will find your figures way off the mark .I even bought a couple of pigs and the cost to feed them used up the would be profit when ready for sale .If your going to make money you have to invest big here in my opinion to have a chance at an income .

Did you calculate the cost of electricity? Very expensive in the Philippines
