💡 FI Tip of the Day

“One Source of Income is Good. Two is Better.”

Many OFWs rely only on their job salary. But what if there’s a delay, a crisis, or worse—job loss? A second income stream can provide security, backup, or even become your exit plan.

🔁 Diversifying your income is like building a second floor on your house—it gives you space to grow and a stronger foundation.

💼 Day 5: How to Build a Side Income While Working Abroad

You don’t have to wait until you go home to start a business. You can build side income even while abroad—with the right approach.

🔹 Options for OFWs:

1. Online Freelancing
   Graphic design, writing, virtual assistant work, tutoring.
2. Content Creation
   Share your story, skills, or journey—YouTube, TikTok, podcasting, blogging.
3. Small E-Commerce or Buy & Sell
   Start simple: health products, Filipino snacks, pre-loved items.
4. Property or Investment Partnership
   Join forces with trusted partners in the Philippines for rentals or agribusiness.

✅ What You Need to Get Started:

• A few hours weekly (not your full time)
• A skill or product you can offer
• Internet access and courage to try

💬 Start small. Stay honest. Keep learning. Let your salary work while your side hustle grows.
