Business

the only one i can think of is tourism

Look for ideas in the business section of the phone book

What I left out was just look at the index pages for those businesses that are of interest.

Hello everyone,

All the best,

Has anyone ever thought of selling on Lazada or Shopee? I see Levi 501 jeans selling on Lazada for P5,099 at the Levi Flagship Store. How many pairs of jeans will fit in a balikbayan box? If you could get 50 in a bb box the shipping would be $2 a pair or less. Sell for a $20 profit and make $1,000 on each shipment. Levis are just an example I thought of, the hard part is coming up with a US product that would sell here and small enough to fit a bunch in a bb box.

Before retiring I visited a refinery in Laurel, Montana quarterly. There was a guy there who was involved with a deaf children's school in the Philippines through his church. The guy was an avid fly fisherman and knew everything about fly tying which is a bit of an art. He gave the boys at the school lessons in how to tie flies and they aced it. Every time I visited the refinery I asked how the business was going. At first he had a few orders but it grew into something big, I'm talking orders for hundreds of flies. There is only a few cents worth of material in a fly but quality flies sell for real money. He originally just wanted to earn a few bucks to help run the school but ended up making the school totally self sufficient. He said shipping back to the US is a little expensive, but you can fit hundreds of flies in a shoe box.
