BIZCHUM website can do a lot of things for you, whether you are a full time employee or an entrepreneur. As an employee, one’s earnings are never enough.

This is where BIZCHUM comes into play. As an employee, with a motivation to earn a little extra you can sell an item (i.e., iPhones, accessories, real estate, second hand cars, clothing and a lot more)  on www.BIZCHUM.com.

A lot of corporate professionals are members of BIZCHUM. A number of them have created their own networks and connections.  We at BIZCHUM won’t be surprised if they plan to go full time as an entrepreneur and be the boss of their own businesses.

IT IS NOT EASY. It entails a lot of planning and a lot of courage to dictate and lay down your personal target profits.  John Gokongwei did it. Manny Paquiao did it. Lucio Tan did it. Why not you?

There’s Only One Way to Succeed

Type on your search engine “How to be successful” and you will end up with tons of articles revealing the secrets of SUCCESS.  Some articles will lay out 5 easy steps to succeed, while others will enumerate success in 18 steps. Too many points to ponder, memorize and internalize.

THE ONE SURE STEP I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU IS PERSISTENCE, nothing more and nothing less.

Never quit. It’s a guarantee that one will be subjected to a perilous journey before achieving triumph. Imagine a shiny juicy apple way up on a tree. You’ve got to have it. You want it. You’ve got to put your lips on the apple. Then, what will you do to get it? Climb! Embrace the rough bark of the tree then inch your way up. Along the way you might encounter bugs, ants and maybe spiders. Ignore and move on. Don’t look down but stay focused on that apple.

Fear will most definitely initiate a mental chain reaction of surrendering which will direct you to failure. Meaning a potential plummet.  You must OVERCOME fear. Climb upwards one branch at a time.  Stay focused and then grab the prize.

There is no easy approach to success. None whatsoever. There will be a great number of trials and failures but in the end there is going to be ONE BIG ELECTRIFYING VICTORY. My advice is simple and basic. No M.B.A. required. It’s been a philosophy of all successful people including those who went to Harvard, never graduated and was able to change the course of technology.

NEVER QUIT!

E-commerce makes good business

(The Philippine Star) | Updated December 17, 2012 – 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines – E-commerce proves to be viable business model for the mother and son team of Brenda and Bong Tuazon, founders of the Philippine’s first social commerce network, Bizchum (www.bizchum.com).

As early as 2003, the Tuazons had broken into the e-commerce industry with an online remittance company. Seeing that traffic was in buy and sell sites, they shifted their business to an online retail website, until it evolved to its current incarnation, Bizchum.

Bizchum is what the Tuazons call a “social commerce network,” the first of its kind in the Philippines, offering site users not only free classified ad postings, but also an avenue for social networking.

“This is where we differ from traditional e-commerce website,” notes Bizchum co-founder Bong Tuazon. “We extend the selling floor by offering sellers a venue for interacting with both existing and potential buyers. Whereas e-commerce is more on a transaction basis, Bizchum encourages the development of networks and relationships among the users of the site.”

Click, connect, and make the deal

With a streamlined design, Bizchum enables online sellers to upload pictures of their wares, linked to their online profile. Signup on is easy, giving members the option to join with a single click, by linking their existing Facebook account to their Bizchum account. Searches are open to non-members, and items are organized into different categories for easier searching.

Functioning like an electronic bulletin board, Bizchum postings with the most likes are the top items shown on the homepage. Members can also add other members as “chummies,” post comments, and join the Bizchum forums.

How to make your online holiday shopping (and selling) safe

In this day and age, those who have no patience for crowded shopping malls can get it done in the comfort of their home, without even getting out of bed, and without dealing with the hassle brought on traffic, pollution and the occasional pickpocket.

All they do is log on to their favorite shopping sites and choose the items they want to buy. The items can be picked up at a convenient place, or better, delivered right at your doorstep.  Online sellers can take advantage of demand by offering quality products at affordable prices, conveniently shipping to shoppers looking to avoid the holiday rush.

Bizchum (www.bizchum.com), a 100 percent Filipino-owned social commerce network for both buyers and sellers,  gives the following tips for online shopping to get the best bargains from trusted sellers:

1. ACCESS ONLY SECURE WEB STORES. Web security is your top priority. Just as you would hold on securely to your belongings when shopping outside, it is a must that you take every precaution to secure your credit card information to avoid bigger hassles.

A crossed-out https:// colored in red means the site may be malicious or you may risk being infected by a virus if you proceed to the site.  Do a search on the web to make sure the website is legitimate.

A web store that has too many pop-up advertisements is likely to be dangerous and risky. Check the layout of the web store. Advertisements are alright as long as they do not hinder proper online shopping.



2. SPOTTING TRUSTED SELLERS. Remember that just like in the real world, fake sellers also lurk around websites which could potentially run off with your hard-earned money.

• Check the seller’s profile. Legitimate sellers will take the time to put up information on their profile page. Warning signs: no email, no profile picture, no contact details.

• Check the feedbacks. A seller who receives a lot of positive feedbacks is deemed legitimate. Do doubt a seller who has disabled all kinds of feedback system in their online shop.

• Check the prices and compare them to other stores selling similar items. Compare the item’s prices to one or even three stores.  If it’s too good to be true,  then most probably it’s not true or there’s a risky catch involved.

Your Biz Starts Here! - www.bizchum.com

There is no easy way of earning hard cash. That's a fact! Whether you have a 9-5 job, an entrepreneur, housewife or househusband, an employer or simply a dead beat couch potato it's not easy to make money.

We (the middle class) will always make it a point to make ends meet. No matter what it takes. Sacrifice a little bit of luxury just to pay the bills by month end. That what life is all about for the middle class. 

The internet is the easiest way to let the public (locally or globally) know what you are selling. Even a 3rd grader knows this. Simply put just follow these steps:

1) Look around your garage or attic and get something you want to sell. (Used up mountain bike, grandma's antique, etc ) Anything that has value.

2) Take a picture of it and save it onto your desktop.

3) Google WWW.BIZCHUM.COM and register. It's as simple as that.

4) Then attach the photos on your BIZCHUM page and just leave a simple description of your thingy you want to sell.

When somebody inquires then your "business personality" should come into play. Tell them why they need your item. As soon as you close the deal SET an arrangement for PAYMENT (PayPal, bank to bank or cash on delivery) and shipping and handling (FEDEX, DHL...something like that...).

Add them as your CHUMMY so that you can inform them of your other products you wish to sell.

This can be done at home, on your spare time, at the mall, Starbucks, on the road... wherever! It ain't easy nor hard but its definitely a potential to earn income. 

So let www.bizchum.com be your business partner. 

And oh...you can also look for wholesale stores, purchase items and post it here at www.bizchum.com.


HAVE FUN!
