Do you know that you can actually start an Ukay business with just a thousand pesos?? Yup, you read that right! This can be tripled in a day or a week of selling your Ukay!
If you have 1000 and wondering what business to start with that, You're on the right page because I'm gonna teach you how you can start and grow your business with that money.
Before we go any further, I want to let you know that this isn't going to be easy. It's not just about starting a business and making money, it is also about learning new skills so you can use them in the future and make more money.
Just a little background, When I started my ukay ukay business last October, I was only a month away from giving birth to my youngest daughter. It's safe to say that I was pretty pregnant at the time.
My first thought was to start a business that wouldn't cause me so much fatigue while I was waiting for my baby to arrive. I mean, it's hard enough to run a business while you're pregnant, but imagine how much work you'll have to do when your kid is born.
But seriously, if you're looking for something that will make you happy, not only will it make you feel like you're contributing to society, but it will also be something that you can do from home! It's great!
You just need determination, time, and perseverance to start an Ukay Ukay business!
What is Ukay Ukay?
ukay ukay is a business that involves buying and selling second-hand items. Since Ukay clothing is used, you cannot expect too much from it. If you are lucky, you might receive high-quality, saleable items. Other items may be branded, and sometimes you will receive items in very poor condition.
Why start an Ukay Ukay business?
Selling second-hand items can make you money. You can start from home and by only using your phone to sell online, so you don't need a good location.
Where to find a Good Supplier?
Facebook is a convenient place to find suppliers, but most don't sell retail anymore. There is a variety of used clothing to choose from, but if you only have 1000 pesos, going directly to a supplier wouldn't make sense.
For example, you can search for "Ukay Ukay Buy and Sell Group" and you'll see tons of people looking for pre-packed ukay in their budget of 1000 pesos. You can actually indicate any amount, as long as it's within your budget. Also, make sure to ask for a video of the bundled clothing they are selling. Make sure that the seller is legit. Better ask for COD shipment o make sure that the items arrived before you pay.
Be careful when buying online! Scammers are everywhere nowadays!

There are two ways to sell your products online,
1. If you do not have a strong wifi connection, by prepaid load so you can post them online by taking pictures of each clothing, It's ok if you do not have a mannequin, just be creative when taking photos. Upload it on your facebook so your friends and family can see them first. You can also create FB page to post all your products.
2. You can also do a live selling This way is faster and require less effort. You do not need to take pictures of each item. You can just flex each item while streaming.
Remember that, sa Ukay Business ang kailangan ay diskarte, if you're willing to do the work, then it will pay off for sure!
Goodluck mga sis!
