I’m glad that an idiot like me is being trusted by few of our readers. They don’t just read my write-ups but they also ask advices on what to do. Below is a part of the email I received yesterday from Ms. JS.

Sir SELaplana,

I am a nursing graduate here in Tacloban City and I failed to pass the licensure examination last year… Please advise me anong magandang negosyo ang papasukin ko na may mas mababang capital? …

To Ms. JS

I’m sure you already have ideas on what kind of small business that you want to open. I don’t know how much money you have now and what area or where you are living in Tacloban City, but here’s my thought about it…

If you have PhP20,000.00 in your bank account today, then why not start a sari-sari store? Just a simple sarisari store in your home without renovating part of your house. Spend your PhP10,000.00 for your sari-sari store and use the other PhP10,000.00 for another kind of business… and that is a SMART Bro Computer station and Cellphone’s Load Station.

Cellphone Load Station

To let you know, I am currently selling cellphone prepaid loads for SMART/TnT and Globe/TM SIMS. But I don’t have store. My friends and those who knew about my business will only text me if they need load and I immediately send them the load. They’ll pay me if we’ll meet.

What I mean is you can sell prepaid loads too while selling your sarisari goods. You don’t need to buy new cellphone. I know you have cellphone. What you need to buy are accessory for dual-SIM, 1 SMART retailer SIM and 1 Globe retailer SIM.

SMART Bro Computer Station

I know putting up a computer station in your area will let you earn much especially if you are living in a place like Quarry District or similar (crowded) districts in Tacloban City. Besides, you don’t need to have millions of money to start this kind of business. You don’t need to rent a commercial space for your computer station. A small space in your house can already be used for this.

For more information about this, please visit the SMART Bro page (click here) or visit the SMART Wireless center in Tacloban City. I think, it’s found near the BPI, a walking distance from Gaisano Tacloban.
