I often look entrepreneurship as an activity for the “young ones” but was amazed when I met Mrs. Crisitina Arceo, also called Nanay Cristy from Talavera, Nueva Ecija. Nanay Cristy is a 62-year-old senior from Talavera, Nueva Ecija who has just started her venture of bringing her products online. She has two products that she personally prepared: Turmeric Oil and Turmeric Ointment and was proud to say that she has great products.
I remembered her desire to really make her product be known because she believes that it can help a lot of people. My mind is so vivid that I recalled her seriously listening to me as I conducted the training about digital marketing. I recalled how excited she was when I shared with her that her product has the potential of bringing it to the global marketplace. When I showed the same turmeric essential oil being sold on Amazon for $9.99 (for 30 ml) while hers is Php100.00 (for 100 ml). I remembered her offering me to give me a body massage so I can experience how she does it.
Life is full of surprises, received the bad news that she just passed away. I missed the opportunity of telling her that yes, indeed you have a great product. Thank you for this Turmeric Oil you gave me, true to your word, indeed it helped people. I used it when I had boils and in a span of 3 days, it was healed.
Nanay Cristy, we may have known each other for only a few days but thank you for inspiring me that even in your senior years you did not give up and saw your determination of pursuing success in your business. We are going to miss you and I hope that with this post, I hope in some way your product can still be known to other people.

Home based business idea is just around the corner, you agree? Check what you have at home, anything you love to do and enjoy, and maybe you can come up with a home based business idea you can start without that “big capital”.
I was enjoying getting seeds from this “money tree” as what my mother-in-law said so. This is an 11 year old plant my mother-in-law brought when we transferred to our house in Cavite and I love it because it shows 2 colors, red and yellow.I really don’t know why but I am really fond getting those seeds and disperse it until that seed grows.
I said, the home-based business idea is just around the corner and I want to take you that side that wherein there’s no excuse you can’t start earning money from home. As long as you have an internet connection and determination to push things, then you are set for your home-based business. Here are the initial steps you can take :
- “Start Where You Are. Use What You Have. Do What You can”
- Research
I went ahead and see if I can get an opportunity for this money tree. I searched for “money tree plant”, and here’s what I got.
Bingo! It gives me the idea that I can sell this money tree seeds online. I found two places where money trees are sold, Shopee, and Facebook marketplace.
3. Do What You Can
What can you do? You have the idea, the tool and of course, you need to take action. You can post it on your wall, get started with Shopee, and start uploading in Facebook Marketplace.
Easy right? You can start a home-based business as easily as it is. All we need is to become resourceful on what we currently have. Don’t wait to make things get perfect, nothing will happen if you keep on waiting. Stop waiting for that “big money capital”, start with what you have. If you want to get ahead, start doing it now.
How about you? What do you have? Need some home-based business ideas you can get started? Send me a message and let’s discover what you can do right now, CLICK HERE.

Transitioning from the corporate world into a home-based career can sometimes be scary because there are no health benefits. Unlike when you are in the corporate world you get health benefits with the HMO plans provided by the company but that’s okay because you can actually get one even as a freelancer. I was looking for an affordable HMO plan that suits my financial capacity and I was able to come across with a prepaid health insurance, MaxiCare Prepaid Health Cards with no requirements for approval.
The MaxiCare EReady Prepaid Health Cards is a one-time medical emergency prepaid health card that covers injuries and illnesses that require immediate medical assistance. There are 2 plan types Titanium Php549 and Platinum Php749 and I opted to purchase the Titanium Php549.
Here are some of Getting a Maxicare EReady Card Titanium Php549 of the features, benefits, and coverage:

You may have wanted to know how to create a blog but for some reason, you haven’t get started. Probably because you don’t have the time or maybe you always think there is still time or maybe you are just too lazy to do it. Oops, wait, you are not alone, that’s actually me, I always think but I really never do it.
How To Create A Blog
Importance of Blog
Until I realized how important a blog is for my business and as a freelancer. Learning how to create a blog gives me the following benefit :
- There is proof that I can showcase to my clients.
- While learning the process, it gives me an opportunity to make this one as another way to earn money online as an Affiliate Marketer
Let me take you on my journey of creating an affiliate website where I can share with you how I can monetize a website in 3 different ways. Are you ready to take a journey with me? Then let’s get the ball rolling.
What are the things needed to create a blog?
We need a domain name and website hosting. A domain name is an address you type into the browser, such as janemaghanoy.com or besthomes.review.com. A website hosting is a space or the physical location where you store your website files.
Domain Name and Hosting
Where to buy domain name and hosting?
The most popular provider is Godaddy.com, Bluehost.com, or Hostgator.com. However, if you want to support a local hosting provider, feel free to check JassOnlineSolutions.com, it’s my new baby 🙂 .
Let’s do it now. Let’s make it one a step at a time. Remember, “you don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.”
