Legitimate Home Based Businesses Need A Reliable Internet Connection

I’ve been working online since April 2007 and I can say that this is a legitimate home based business. The desperation to quit from Sykes Asia, Inc. because of an incompetent (sorry for the term) supervisor had changed my life. Truly god has plans for us. (God moves in mysterious ways, according to Nina, ay mali love moves in mysterious ways pala yung sa kanya). So I should thank my Team Leader for agitating me pala. Hahaha

I have gone underground after resignation. Because I don’t have a PC or laptop yet, I work at computer cafes at Barlin St or P. Noval near UST. I used to stay at a dorm c/o my generous brod and his wife Madam Luna. I usually work at night because the rates are 50% cheaper, which means additional savings for me. Even at night, the computer shops are full with students playing online games. (Lucky people! Very lucky indeed! When I was in college, 10 pesos was very precious for me! I only had 1,000pesos allowance for a month and yet these students spend 3-6 hours playing online. What a waste of hard-earned money).

I had data entry jobs like this one then:

Anyway, after a few months, I have decided to buy my own desktop and moved to Bicol for good. I decided to go underground and projected a “bum” image while in fact I had a steady income which is higher than the pay at Sykes Asia. Lol (I remember being humiliated by a Starbucks crew for asking a water refill in a plastic bottle. Imagine a face na parang “Eeew, sino yang dukhang yan na nagpaparefill ng tubig ditech?” Well sorry, isipin mo na kung ano gusto mong isipin tungkol sakin but one thing’s for sure…I earn more than you do).

Going back to the topic:

Making money online requires a good internet connection. I’ve been a satisfied SMARTBro subscriber for more than 2 years now. There were only a few times that I had lost connection and their customer service teams are reliable. They have replaced my power adaptor 2 days after reporting the incident. My bill was even prorated when I experienced “no connection” in my area.

I have the roof mount postpaid which is good because it is fixed at 999pesos a month. When going out of town, I use Smart Bro prepaid. As of the moment, I am using prepaid because I am in Manila again (to accompany my gf).

The only problem before was paying the bill until I discovered that I can pay through my online BDO account. Since then, I paid my SmartBro bill in less than a minute without leaving the house. You just have to enroll your account and that’s it, you can pay in a flash.

Here’s my latest payment:

This saves a lot of my precious time queuing at the Smart Wireless Center, Bayad Centers or ATM machines. I can focus on my tasks, making more money online or spend the time sleeping. Hahaha.

Tomorrow, I’ll let you know how to set this up, ayt?

So, how about your SmartBro experience? Satisfied or not? Please share your comments below:

Hi Weng,

Thanks for the visit. If you’re looking for a data entry job, you can check out my post here: http://ronaldredito.org/blog/freelancing-jobs/ YOu can sign up an account, then expect to receive jobs that you want to work on. Unfortunately, you need to bid on the projects.

bro ask ko lang ulit kung paano ung tungkol sa pag-bid sa work? share naman more ideas about freelancer.com ty

Hey Weng,

Bidding of projects means that you need to offer the client your price to get the job done. For example, one freelancer from India bids for a job offer for 250USD a month, if it is okay with you, you can bid 200USD to deliver the output required for you to get the project. Just make sure you can deliver in quality and in a timely manner.

You need to watch out for your online reputation too. By doing this, employers will have trust and confidence with your output and you will get more projects.
