[donnerwetter]

[SpellbindMedia]

I don't have but I would like to have one...any body willing to share their experience?

[donnerwetter]

*bump* methinks this is a good potential market, especially since the internet helps ya cross eco-political boundaries :D

any guys out there? :D

[donnerwetter]

cool. can ya tell us how it works? :)

[maris_blaise]

wow, sounds interesting... do you mind me asking how much you earn on the average? do you earn enough to pay your hosting bills?

[zimdude]

I just started :)

Well yeah, it's brought me considerably more than the cheap hosting fee. but, I haven't reached $100 yet so I haven't received the check from Google. My next problems are - how long it'll take the check to get here (if ever!), then how to encash it (a Citibank check), then how long that will take!

So don't count on it as your main source of income!

Well, you can also make a business out of hosting online businesses. All you need is a server with lots of memory, a high speed internet connection, and somebody who knows how to set it up. But of course as with any business, I believe the hard part is with getting clients.

i consider myself to have an "on-line business"....

Been running a Web Hosting Business for over a year now, www.ploghost.com, and so far it has been very good. I have learned a lot too, not just technically but in all other aspects of running a business. Before this, I have been doing web design and web programming so it was only logical enough that the next step would be hosting the clients.

Now, we're doing strng and have finally incorporated the business with over 200 clients.

I have, but not regularly as i also work for an IT company. I do logo design, graphics, illustration, web design. My clients are mostly from other countries. I also buy and sell domain names.

Yep, I also run Google AdSense in several of my sites. The good thing is that you can have one account and place ads on unlimited number of sites. That way, you get more traffic and hopefully more relevant clicks.

I also signed up with TextAds.biz a couple of months ago and it was onyl recently that I was able to get paid ads on my sites.

[donnerwetter]

cool. anyone doing merchandise-selling-related business online? :)

[donnerwetter]

*bump*

I'm doing a site now for a client who's selling items online through PayPal. Quite convenient, I'd say.

[zimdude]

too bad people in the Philippines can't join the PayPal economy. :(

[zimdude]

How do you get paid? I've seen http://www.xoom.com and http://www.cash2philippines.com but they are oriented towards family members making padala. How about money transfer for business?

[yuga]

I have clients using Ikobo to receive remittances from abroad.

[boogerflicker]

hmmmm... very very interesting... maganda dito, di lang Pilipinas ang market... gusto kong pasukin ito...
