ON ELOAD BIZ...

Yes im into loading business... a dealer actually. Dealer of e-load of the three leading telecoms in the country, Smart, Globe and Sun.

I started in this biz in 2003 I think, I started as a retailer but decided to be a dealer when i saw the potential of this business. Being a retailer then was really hard, you need to attend to the seminars that Smart (since they are the first in this, if my memory serves my right) requires. Then here comes Globe, they also required their retailers to attend there seminar... I'm not actually a prepaid subscriber then, I used to have a post-paid line with Globe, but I saw the potential of being in this business... and I guess I was right in venturing in this business. Since 2003 until now, the business is still there, and i guess (again) ELOAD BUSINESS IS HERE TO STAY! Why did I say so? Filipinos are going crazy with celfone! Even an elementary student already have one! CELFONE IS CONSIDERED AS A NECESSITY NOW ADAYS. And most of these celfone users are prepaid subscribers... especially now that Smart, Globe and Sun's text/call unlimited promos are up!... In a survey done a few weeks ago, it was even found out that Filipinos are really celfone addicts, they would rather spend their remaining money in buying their celfone load rather than spending it in food.

Going back to eload biz... Yah, i think eload biz is here to stay! Thats why I have no regret in getting into this business. I must admit the profit is not that big... but whats good about this business is the repeat order, sales. Since it is consumable, customers will keep on coming back!...Plus this business does not choose any season on when it will be its peak and when it is not sellable.... Load is always sellable!!!..... Plus! Plus! Retailers gets additional perks from selling load of Smart and Globe! Whenever you sell at least Php3500.00 woth of eload both for smart and globe you get 300 free text! And Php 3,500.00 is such a small amount, you can even sell it in a week.


So if you are looking for a small business to start with, try to consider this one. You dont need to own a store to be in this kind of business... all you need is a celfon, you can start selling it to your friends, neighbors, officemates and relatives...
