Retire to the Philippines and Succeed

A Business For Older Foreigner Men in the Philippines.

(Updated 5 Jan 2018)

Did I get your attention with that headline?  I thought I might have.

You have heard me rant and rave plenty about why you don’t want a job in the Philippines.

(go ahead, follow the link, I’ll wait for you, right here.)

I’ve also written plenty about why you don’t want to screw around with starting a business in the Philippines as a foreigner.  In general, the best business plan is to take all the cash you have in your budget, put it in a fireproof container, splash lighter fluid on it and set it on fire.

Your losses will be the same and it takes a lot less time and effort.

But How About a Business Made For a Foreigner?

Especially one like me.  Old, overweight and hates to shave.

It’s ready and waiting for you right now.

You see my friend Bob has been playing Santa for several years now for department storesand other organizations with Christmas Parties and such (which means almost every business in the Philippines is a potential client.)

Well, friend Bob is moving back to the USA, so next year and the years after he won’t be performing as Santa here in the Philippines.  he has decided to let the business go, as a going concern, for very reasonable terms.

As a favor to anyone looking to earn money here in the Philippines who may not have seen any of Bob’s articles, here’s his latest post where he talks about the business, what a prospective buyer would need and what’s required to move forward if you’re interested.

I’ve got a business for you. Easy work, big money

Take a look, it doesn’t cost anything to find out the particulars.

Editor’s Note:  Bob is a long-time personal friend.  I believe him to be honest in any and all respects, but I have no other personal knowledge regarding this offer.  I also have no business relationship with Bob and I will not earn any commission or other emoluments if someone buys into the business through my offer here.  It jst seemed like a fun thing to do to me.

 

That’s all I have to say today about A Business For Older Foreigner Men in the Philippines.

Online Jobs At Home In The Philippines.

(Updated 16 December 2018)

I’m well know for being “a bit” anti-jobs.  I believe that most jobs are a bit “crooked”.  The worker doesn’t get paid anywhere near what s/he is worth to the company’s bottom line.

In fact there some compelling evidence that suggests that if you are still a “wage slave” or trying to become one, whatever your current salary is you are probably earning about three times s much for your employer.

Why would anyone want to get paid only one third what they are worth?

There are other issues I have with J*O*B*’s also.  You might want to read this article if you haven’t seen it already.  (go ahead, I’ll wait right here for you

10 Reasons You Don’t Want A Job In The Philippines

But Sometimes You Just NEED a Job

And many of you who come here are not interested in entrepreneurial ideas, don’t want to start a business and all that entails, and just want a few extra dollars to close the gap between what you currently have and what you need to retire here in the Philippines.

What if I told you that almost everyone reading this article already has a skill they can put to use, right now, for money being paid right into their bank account (or PayPal account)?

What if I also told you that because you are reading this article you already g=jave everything you need to start this job?

What if I said you can start this job while you are still in the USA (or your home country) and continue working, uninterrupted if (and when) you decide to move to or retire in the Philippines?

And best of all, there is absolutely nothing you need to buy, no investment to make, and no age limits — 18 or 80, you can start this as early as today.

And I guess what is really attractive to many is the fact that you can do this right out of your home, wherever that home may be.

So what’s this magical online, at home job you can do in the USA or the Philippines or anywhere else?

Teaching English

Wow, what a buildup.  And then what a letdown.  I can hear so many of you out there moaning your “if only’s” already.

Not a teacher?

Doesn’t matter.  Let me explain some terminology and define a few things here.

Most people, when they hear “teacher” think of someone with a university degree and often a teaching license or credential from their state or home country.

Nothing wrong with that definition, in the strictest sense it’s absolutely correct.  To be a professional teacher a degree and certification is normally a requirement.

But There Is A Huge Market For “Informal” Teaching

By “informal” teaching I am referring to what is often called “Conversational” English, or, by some folks, “English Coaching”.

Just because you don’t have a degree or a teaching credential does NOT mean you can’t coach learners n conversational or business English.

There is a huge market for these services.  And there are many,  many companies and online schools around the world who will hire you and pay you to coach people.

Here is one source of online teaching jobs you can do from home.  (Wherever home may be.) [Read more…] about Online Jobs At Home In The Philippines
