If you are into selling food supplements or beauty products:


You can try becoming an independent associate of Max International:

Be a MAX Partner!

You need to have a Credit Card to have an online account. Initial investment is around P10,000.00 wherein you get 2 boxes of their products including a starter kit which you may use in offering the service. 

This is what I'm currently doing and it has given me extra income plus great discounts since I take the supplement myself.  



Getting into Herbalife is the lowest of all. It's not like networking wherein, you need to recruit people to earn. Herbalife is more of a lifestyle. 

To qualify, you'll have to sign up to a 10-Day Program wherein you will be recommended of a healthier diet. Less carbs and more of protein. The 10-Day Program cost P1,500.00-2000.00.  In that program, you should at least loose 7-8 lbs. If the program is a success for you, that is the only time, you can sign up for the membership which will cost P1,800.00 with corresponding products of the same amount. 

The membership is extended to your spouse and is transferable to your kids for as long as you are able to renew the membership yearly. That's at P400.00.   


The income comes from the discount you get for the products you bought. The membership will entitle you to 25-50% discount. This is highly recommended for those who are underweight or overweight since with this you will learn how to eat healthier foods instead of skipping meals. 


Alliance Global (AIM Global) 

With Alliance, the initial investment is P7980.00 you are also given products of equal amount plus  the insurance and scholarship program. 

You may earn by selling the products or recruiting others to sign up for the membership. The supplement I've tried is the 24/7, Liven Alkaline Coffee, MyChoco Alkaline Chocolate Drink and the BURN Slim this is after I've gone through the 10 day Program of Herbalife.



Answering Surveys Online



 With MOBROG, you need to have a paypal account so that you can transfer your earning to it. You'll need to have a balance of at least P250.00 to transfer your balance to your paypal account.

I'm currently earning less than a P1,000.00 a month.

You'll earn P15-200.00 per survey and spend around 15 minutes to an hour answering the surveys.

I just do this during my lean time since I'm also running a homebased business.
 
 I've tried other surveys online. This is the only one I'm still on and am so far enjoying answering their surveys.

Affiliate Marketing
Top 4 are: 
All you need to do is go to their website and look for the affiliate marketing which is usually on the upper left corner of the page.
 
 You need to have an existing blog or social network account where you make post the links which are to be provided for to you once you logged in.

Each of these requires approval which may take 1-2 weeks.

The fun part is that you will receive a product from them to try on requiring to provide a feedback afterwards.


 Be a Seller at Lazada Ph 

This is only if you have a registered business. You'll need to have the following documents:
  •  BIR Registration 
  •  DTI or SEC Registration 
  •  Collection Receipt 
  •  Business Permit
 
You'll need to go to their website and then look for 'SELL ON LAZADA' which is on the upper right of the page.  After going to the site, the only consideration you'll need is if the area of your business is serviceable to their logistics partners.

Once that is okay, you'll just have to set your account then you're good to go.
