Online selling was my main bread and butter a few years ago until I could no longer keep up with customer’s demands. Selling online is hard as ‘actual selling’ but the the advantages outweighs the disadvantages. (this will be discussed on a separate post)

Moving on, you can sell products in Multiply. Unlike before, selling is already LEGAL in multiply so you need not worry about being ‘deleted’.

To start with, you need to create a regular account:

Next, to mark yourself as seller, you have to click this button:

MARK YOURSELF AS SELLER

After that, you can now CUSTOMIZE your website by clicking your Home Page Tab (1.) and Customize My Site (2.):

After doing so, your page will now look like this:

Play with your site. You can remove unnecessary elements here that you do not need on your store. Basic elements are the following:

• Photos – where you upload the photos of your merchandize
• Blog – for your FAQs, updates, etc
• Guestbook – for customer feedback

Once your site is up, you can now start uploading photos of the things you want to sell AKA merchandize.

Your photos should contain the following to save you time from answering the questions of prospective buyers:

clothes / footwear

• Sizes available
• Colors available
• Brand (Filipinos are very conscious about brands)
• Flaws, if any.
• Authenticity (though I don’t encourage you to sell fakes. ’nuff said.)
• Price (This is very, very important. I, for one, hates asking for the price.)

food

• the quantity for each order
• description, of course!
• price

Your FAQ should contain the following:

• Terms of Sale – your selling/buying rules should answer the questions: do you accept haggling?, are you willing to sell outside the Philippines?, what will you do to non-paying buyers?, are you willing to reserve a product? if yes, what are your terms?, things like that.
• Shipping Info - details of shipping should be posted here, including, the courier you’ll be using and how much it will cost the buyer, how long will it take you to ship the items, if you’re willing to meet-up, insurance, etc.
• Payment Info - Indicate here if you are willing to accept Paypal, Bank Deposit or Gcash payments and how long are you going to wait for the payment before you relist the items.

Once you’re done building your site, INVITE FRIENDS and let your contacts grow. Join groups and post your updates there. The technique here is to have lots of contacts and promote your product in your groups.

but, but, but DO NOT SPAM if you don’t want to be deleted by your contacts.

Promote your products ONCE and believe me, if your products are unique or are reasonably priced, people will flock to your site in no time.

It’s very easy to sell in multiply because it’s FREE and the traffic is good so if you are a new seller and want to promote your products online, then Multiply is the perfect platform for you.

I am swamped with work that I can no longer afford to update all of my blogs. I have so many ideas in mind but I lost the energy and time to put it all into writing.

Worry not because I PROMISE (so help me God!) to update this blog this week and tackle the following post and read-worthy $$$ making topics.

1) Google Adsense

According to Google, AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to earn money by displaying targeted, unobtrusive Google ads on their websites. AdSense also allows you to provide Google search to your site users, while earning money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages.

2) Nuffnang

Nuffnang.com is Asia-Pacific’s first and leading blog advertising community.

4) PayU2Blog

Approved bloggers in PayU2Blog are enjoying the benefits of early payday and steady stream of work that’s why Bloggers Heart PayU2Blog!

and more!

A friend told me that the internet is a gold mine. Yes it truly is and I can attest to that. After almost a year of being stay-at-home I was already bored from chatting with friends. I was online 20 hours a day but I was earning nothing so I did what my friends do – plunge into Paid-to-Click (PTC) sites! Whoa! wrong move! It will take you eons of years to earn $ and will take you forever to meet the payout threshold. I felt so bad that I vowed not to register in any PTC site again. Next, I took surveys and all but I was spending more than I was earning. Just imagine my ballooning Meralco bill and SmartBro monthly dues, I knew right then and there that I’ve got to do something.

Monetizing Blogs
Then I started earning by monetizing my blogs. I am no writer but I love putting my thoughts on blogs and since I was into it, I said “why not, poknat?” Here are some companies who are giving me $$$ each month. They are reliable as I already received payments from them. Click the company name to register.

Blog Advertising Store

Blogsvertise

Social Spark

Link from Blog

Of course there’s a lot more like PayU2Blog who pays big time but I am so unsuccessful on it (domain issues – I only use free ones which they don’t allow).  Just keep on searching, because on my case my hands are already full just with oDesk and my blogging sideline and it’s already worth thanking the Lord for.

Working for Companies and Individuals
There are a lot of people in the world who are in need of services which vary from simple customer service task to project management and website maintenance. Companies and individuals based outside the Philippines are more than willing to pay you in $$$ for your services. Filipinos are very diligent, trustworthy and responsible – that’s why most foreigners look for us when they want something done.

The On Demand Global Workforce – oDesk

Get a Coder

Get a Freelancer

There is no perfect outsourcing company but on my case I am more comfortable working with companies or individuals from oDesk so I stick with them.

All of them pay via Paypal so better make an account first before rushing into work.
