I was thinking today of writing up some business ideas for get pesos. I decided I would post a few of the business ideas that are particularly effective for TEFL teachers to do in their spare time. It’s about taking the bull by the horns and making a solid income. I think they could be the solid ideas that are needed to make life much easier.

1) Writing Web Content

2) Import and Export

3) Specialized Tutoring

4) Online Forex Trading

5) Internet Marketing

I will be expanding on these over on Get Pesos in the next few days.

I have been able to get a lot of work done in the last several days towards the launch of my newest project. I have hinted about in this page before, but in general I am keeping it under wraps. Now, I am ready to leak a few more details about what it is that I am doing.

I want to help people earn money. I think there are so many opportunities out there to earn money abroad and that is why I am finishing up on a simple course for people to take to learn how to earn money no matter where they are living. The course will be very affordable, much more affordable than 4 week $1500 TEFL courses.

I will be supporting this with a website and web forum for you to learn from other people who are trying to improve their incomes. My personal goal is for you to be financially independent no matter where you live.

The Thailand Teaching site, Ajarn.com has decided to interview me about the forum that I have recently decided to close. Without enough time to devote to the work of it and the facts that many online bullies have decided to use it as their personal playground, I have decided that it might be a good idea to close it up. It’s now closed for good.

You can check out the interview at this link:

All in all it has been a good run and I am happy to be here helping teachers get a better break and teaching them how to improve their lives with their own business.

Business Ideas On the Go

As part of my mission to help people improve their lifestyle and their future with a new business, I have done a lot of thought on different business ideas on the go. What is a business on the go? It’s a business that you can take with you wherever you go. It’s a non location dependent business.

Naturally, these business ideas gravitate towards the online world. Here are just a couple, maybe you all can add some more?

1) Retail is full of opportunities. Find an online retailer and work an affiliate program for them. You get a cut of the action and you don’t have to spend out much money.

2) Writing. You can always find someone who needs writing down for you.

3) Product Reviews. You can make good money writing product reviews and sharing them with the world.

Travel as a Business

As former and current TEFL teachers, many of us have a good knowledge about travel. We have been many places on the globe and know how to find a good deal on travel. I would go so far as to say that we may even be more knowledgeable about actual travel than many travel agents. The travel knowledge we have each gained is enough to fill a travel guidebook.

In an effort to find TEFL alternatives, travel as a business is one area that shouldn’t be overlooked. No longer are you confined to an office if you want to work a tourism or travel related business. Thanks to the internet, you can start your own tourism or travel business right from where you are right now.

How so? It’s real easy to start up a travel blog and then get some good affiliate offers. Before long, you can become an expert on a particular location and reap the rewards that come from giving personal advice with a tilt towards those offers that pay you well. This is just one of many topics I will cover in depth on my next upcoming project.
