  • Promote Your Business Online! Learn How by Joining a Social Media Marketing Workshop

    Promote Your Business Online! Learn How by Joining a Social Media Marketing Workshop

    Are you on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube? If you spend two to three hours daily merely scrolling on your feeds, why not earn from these social media platforms?

    I’m sure you have thought about possibly selling a piece of pre-loved jewelry or outfit. This can help you earn a few bucks to add to your travel funds.

    Why not pursue it, or maybe start your own online business?

    If you wish to start one in 2020, social media is a great tool to promote your products or services among your target customers. 

    Aside from building your own website or printing marketing materials such as brochures and business cards, it would be best if you considered investing in social media campaigns. 

    Here’s why:

    Your customers are on social media.

    To increase your sales, you have to expose your products or services to as many prospective customers as possible. Social media allows you to promote your brand to a large number of people in a short amount of time.

    The Digital in 2017 report showed that Filipinos spend an average of 4 hours and 17 minutes daily on social media sites such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter. On Facebook alone, 47 Million Filipinos have an account and can learn about your brand if you know how to use this platform.

    You only need a small budget to advertise on social media.

    Imagine putting up a physical store and renting a place where you can display your products, versus creating an account on Facebook or Instagram where online customers can learn about your business. Which do you think costs less?

    You can spend at least $2-$5 a day to run ads on Facebook. And if you know tips on how to advertise, this simple effort can be profitable for you.

    Setting up on social media is easy.

    You do not need to hire an expert marketer to do the work for you. As long as you have your copy with an image or video to go with your advertisements, you can run them on any social media platform in a few steps.

    However, not everyone knows how to get this done, especially newbies. Often, online store owners will post and share random content that doesn’t get them viewers or buyers.

    If you want your social media marketing efforts to be productive, learn what works or not from a workshop that I’d like to recommend to you.

  • How to Rebound from a Career Setback by Starting a Business

    Facing failure is inevitable on any path to success. Although a setback can be discouraging, try not to let it zap your confidence — this is the perfect opportunity to start up a business of your own! Thanks to modern technology, it’s easier now than ever for anyone to start their own business on any budget; all it takes is hard work, persistence, and a little know-how. Here are some things to keep in mind as you get ready to launch a successful business of your own.

    Build a Great Website

    Any business — from ecommerce to home-based consulting — needs a website. Even if you’re not going to sell anything online, a website will help you reach new customers and encourage them to return. Ensure your website is organized and easy to navigate; a whopping 38 percent of people will leave a website if the layout is unattractive! So, hire a professional web designer or build your own site using a reputable site-building tool.

    You will also need to find an affordable and reliable web hosting service to get your website online and ensure it remains up and running at all times. InMotion Hosting is a popular option, providing a variety of web solutions, including dedicated servers and support for WordPress hosting, to help new businesses get off the ground. With plans starting at just $6.39 per month, it can be an excellent option for entrepreneurs on a limited budget.

    Write Engaging and Informative Content

    A website is nothing without engaging content. So, try to develop a combination of text, pictures, and video content so you can cater to all of your site’s visitors. Remember, your readers have a short attention span, so put your most important message at the very top of your website; if needed, you can then go into detail further down on your page. Also, keep your sentences short and use plenty of white space to enhance readability!

    Learn How to Market Online

    Once your engaging and informative website is online, it’s time to start thinking about marketing. According to Forbes, digital marketing is the best budget-friendly way to target a specific group of consumers. Social media marketing, content marketing, and email marketing can even be free if you’re willing to create content on your own time. Starting a blog on your website and promoting this on social media platforms is an excellent way to draw in customers. If you want to pay for digital ads, consider hiring a marketing expert. Without the right expertise, it’s easy to spend your dollars on ad campaigns that don’t work.

    Get Feedback from Your Audience

    Before taking your business too far, get feedback from your customers so you can fine-tune your product and your customer service approach. Send out an email survey to your customers or ask questions on social media. Don’t just ask customers what they like about your product or service; ask them what they’re unhappy about. Additionally, find out what you could do even better by asking your customers for suggestions.

    Prioritize Customer Service

    As you start to acquire your first few customers, put plenty of time into customer service. Since it’s cheaper to retain customers than it is to acquire new ones, HubSpot recommends focusing your attention on your existing customers. Happy customers are more likely to buy from you again, recommend your products to others, and choose your business over your competitors.

    As you start making more sales and dealing with more customers, you may want to hire a customer support team to ensure your customers are well cared-for. If you try to handle all of your customer support inquiries on your own, you’re going to spread yourself thin. Remember that many customers expect replies within one hour!

    A career setback is not the end of the world; in fact, it may just be the push you need to finally go after that big idea you’ve had on the back burner all these years. So, get started planning your new business today for a brand new path to a meaningful life.

  • JOHN LLOYD CRUZ First Endorsement Appearance After 2 Years Is He Coming Back To The Limelight?

    JOHN LLOYD CRUZ First Endorsement Appearance After 2 Years Is He Coming Back To The Limelight?

    Photos and videos of matinee idol John Lloyd Cruz have been surfacing after being on hiatus from the show business since 2017.

    Cruz, one of the most bankable actors of the Philippine cinema and very effective endorser once again proved that his fans are still waiting for his return. In a teaser video, which lasted only for a few seconds and only shows the back shot of Cruz’s, and posted in the Facebook page of the number one selling shawarma Turks a few weeks ago had been viewed 3.2M times, shared almost 800 times and gained a huge number of comments.

    Without any clue in that teaser video, his fans already assumed that it was him in the video. Actress Bea Alonzo on her Instagram also posted a screenshot of that teaser video, which garnered almost a million likes.

    This Monday morning Turks finally revealed in the 1-minute and 17 seconds video of Cruz showing the actor walking through different destinations, which somehow depicts Cruz’s sojourn. The video is very simple, yet there’s drama the way it was created, and in a very subtle shot, he stopped and took a bite of a Turks pita donner.

    The rugged look of Cruz in the Turks video titled Ang Pagbabalik is way too far from his guy-next-door image and a lot of people in the industry are asking if this signals his return to the limelight. His fans are still wondering about the life he’s been living since his hiatus.

    According to Turks president Gem L. Zenarosa that during the course of his talks with Cruz, they never talked anything about his showbiz career or plans. He added that he got Mr. Cruz as the latest ambassador of Turks because of his great confidence working with Cruz.

    “I am really grateful that John Lloyd trusts our company, he is a brilliant and very creative young man. Aside from acting we have discovered some of his remarkable talents,” Zenarosa stressed.

    The Ang Pagbabalik according to Zenarosa is actually about Turks Small Pita Doner, which will be available again in all its branches.

    “John Lloyd is the best endorser for this because like him, despite his absence in the showbusiness for a couple of years, the warmth and love of his fans for him never dwindles. With our Small Pita Doner we believe that our customers will be happy to know that it is back in our menu,” Zenarosa explained.

    Just like Cruz who is seen to have a different image since he last appeared in the big screen, a clear indication that the actor is recreating himself and exploring different grounds, Turks is also doing the same thing to keep its customers excited whenever they visit a branch.

    In  time for the release of Cruz’s endorsement video, Turks also released to the market its newest offering — Turks Rice Bowl, which is a complete meal. You can choose beef or chicken for your rice topping, and it is priced at P50. The Small Pita Donner on the other hand, is priced at P35.

    “To keep up with the demands of our customers, Turks continues to improve our menu and offerings to satisfy the discriminating taste of our loyal patrons,” Zenarosa stressed.

    John Lloyd Cruz now joins the roster of endorsers of Turks such as Piolo and Inigo Pascual.  To watch the full video of Ang Pagbabalik visit https://youtu.be/Uh0WwLnIEDQ. You can also watch the video on Turk FB page: official.turks

  • Marine Insurance of the Pearl of Orient Seas

    Do you consider investing products to trusted Companies that protect you and your valuable goods in general which may be exposed to perils of the ocean during a voyage or for a period of time from original location to its destination?


    For me, it is necessary to buy or invest products to a company that provides quality services not only for a profit business purposes but more on satisfying the needs of both parties.

    Everyone of us has the ability to choose products and services that could meet or satisfy the needs of both buyers and sellers using our basic or extraordinary instinct. Nowadays, Local and Multinational Companies are using traditional and modern technologies or both techniques to develop, create and invent local and innovative products & services to cater or sustain the needs of humanity. More often than not, companies with frequent transactions of delivering their goods through cargos are investing products that protect against navigation risk which may be exposed to perils of the sea for a period of time.


    However, it is important for us to identify the cost, nature and quality of the product that we’ll going to invest today or in the future. To give you an idea of this product, let me share to you the legal definition of marine insurance as stated in Presidential Decree No. 612 as follows:


    Sec. 99. Marine Insurance includes:


    (1) Insurance against loss of or damage to:


    (a) Vessels, craft, aircraft, vehicles, goods, freights, cargoes, merchandise, effects, disbursements, profits, moneys, securities, choses in action, evidences of debts, valuable papers, bottomry, and respondentia interests and all other kinds of property and interests therein, in respect to, appertaining to or in connection with any and all risks or perils of navigation, transit or transportation, or while being assembled, packed, crated, baled, compressed or similarly prepared for shipment or while awaiting shipment, or during any delays, storage, transhipment, or reshipment incident thereto, including war risks, marine builder’s risks, and all personal property floater risks;


    (b) Person or property in connection with or appertaining to a marine, inland marine, transit or transportation insurance, including liability for loss of or damage arising out of or in connection with the construction, repair, operation, maintenance or use of the subject matter of such insurance (but not including life insurance or surety bonds nor insurance against loss by reason of bodily injury to any person arising out of ownership, maintenance, or use of automobiles);


    (c) Precious stones, jewels, jewelry, precious metals, whether in course of transportation or otherwise;


    (d) Bridges, tunnels and other instrumentalities of transportation and communication (excluding buildings, their furniture and furnishings, fixed contents and supplies held in storage); piers, wharves, docks and slips, and other aids to navigation and transportation, including dry docks and marine railways, dams and appurtenant facilities for the control of waterways.


    (2) “Marine protection and indemnity insurance,” meaning insurance against, or against legal liability of the insured for loss, damage, or expense incident to ownership, operation, chartering, maintenance, use, repair, or construction of any vessel, craft or instrumentality in use of ocean or inland waterways, including liability of the insured for personal injury, illness or death or for loss of or damage to the property of another person.

    One of the trusted Companies that provides Marine Insurance is the Malayan Insurance Co., Inc., a leading non-life insurance company in the Philippines that is Founded in 1930. Malayan offers its client and the public guaranteed peace of mind through service excellence, quality insurance protection, and the prompt processing and settlement of just and valid claims.

    Malayan Insurance provide insurance policies that protect you against navigation risks to which a ship, cargo, freight, profits or even interests on movable properties. Your cargo, Malayan can insure you against perils of the sea such as lightning, damage due to heavy weather, sinking, fire/burning, stranding/ grounding, typhoon, collision, tsunami, barratry, piracy and jettison.


    At the end of the day, if you are an entrepreneur or businessmen it is important to invest or acquire marine insurance that will meet the requirements for the growth & success of the business operations of your company.
