Business and Personal Finance.

So you want to start a travel agency online?
The travel industry is amongst the largest industries in the world and is still growing at a very fast rate. So, there are high chances that your online travel agency will grow well due to the increased demand for services in the industry.
However, the major issue in starting your own travel agency online is that there are a lot of companies that are already well established in this realm.
Think of online travel agency giants like Expedia, Kayak, Travelocity, Orbitz, and FlightHub, to name a few.
How to stop overspending?
A dear friend of mine approached me for help in regard this specific concern because she happened to overspend money on her birthday that she was out of dough and was at the risk of not making her upcoming rent payment.
At some point in time, most people will find themselves in a similar situation. I myself have learned a valuable lesson when it comes to keeping our priorities in terms of where our money goes.
I am not an over-spender by any means when it comes to my personal finance but I tend to be more aggressive whenever I’m spending for business, thinking that I would recoup the money anyway, but overspending, even in business isn’t a good idea because what we think is a calculated risk may have not been calculated effectively which results to business set backs that could extend to one’s personal finance.
As a solopreneur or a small business owner, the best way and perhaps the most affordable way to hire help is to outsource it to the Philippines.
The Philippines is where you’ll find the best online freelancers to help you with your business with pretty much just about everything.
I myself just came back from the Philippines and found that most international employers have challenges when it comes to sending money to the Philippines to pay for their freelancers or remote employees.
As an online entrepreneur, you may likely be using Paypal and settled with it when it comes to sending money to the Philippines. While it foots the bill, the problem with Paypal is that it offers such a low exchange rate which in a way diminishes your exchange leverage.
So, I’ve been dabbling with eBay dropshipping in the last year and found that there’s actually real money to be made dropshipping on eBay.
I’ve also learned that just like any other business, eBay dropshipping takes work and by that, I mean a lot of hard work as opposed to what we’ve been made to believe by eCommerce gurus trying to sell you thousand dollar courses.
Keep in mind that most of these gurus claiming to make six figures a month actually refers to their sales revenue and not their profits after eBay fees.
Ever asked anyone if they want to get rich?
I know I did and almost everyone I asked answers this question with a resounding and big “YES!” but did you know that only very few will actually get rich?
This is because most people don’t really want to get rich. Sure, they’d take the millions if it’s just handed to them but not a lot of people are willing to do what most people are willing to do.
Not too many people are willing to do what the rich do and continuously do to achieve such a high economic status.
Have you got a knack for writing?
Did you know that writing is one of the most sought-after skills online?
When I was back in the Philippines, I used to offer my services on sites like Odesk (now Upwork) both as a freelance writer and as a full-fledged website manager where I take care of the whole publishing and search engine optimization work to rank my clients’ websites on the search results to reach more potential customers for their business.
If you want to make money as a freelance writer, there are a lot of freelance websites that can help you get started on this rewarding career path.
If you’re planning to purchase your domain name and hosting account for a website or blog, it’s always a good idea to keep these two separate.
Most web hosting companies and domain registrars operate both as domain name registrars and web hosting companies and to maximize their sales out of every new customer that comes on board, they do suggest that you get both your domain name and web hosting account with them for “easy integration” but and that’s a big but… it’s a bad idea!
The million dollar question of how to create a blog for free and make money remains
You’ve learned that blogging is a good way to make money online but you don’t think you have the money to invest in a blogging platform so you can make money from a blog.
Here’s the thing… yes, you can create a free blog with WordPress.com and many other free content management systems but making money off a free blog may be more challenging than when you invest a little bit of money in your blog.
If money wasn’t an issue, most people would be ditching their jobs and starting businesses like it were nothing.
But having money to capitalize a business doesn’t guarantee that you’re going to be successful.
So, can you really start a business with little to no money?
Five years ago when I started my business, I didn’t even have a job so if you have a job right now and you’re planning to start a business you’re, actually better off.
Most people who want to start a business focus too much on capital than the business idea itself.
