Are you ready to "flood-proof" your finances and life?

by Jomar Hilario

The past few days have all given us lessons on life and it's fragility - and being prepared for things we don't expect.

Let me be frank with you that even though I did wade through knee deep water - with a current- last week - to get home - I didn't see it very much as traumatic as others who have only experienced it for the first time.

I even did this in the early 90s- before the age of cellphones - just to get to a telephone booth - because the office called me up to fix some computer related thing.  Talk about dedication.  It also helped that I used to live in very flood -friendly neighborhoods like San Andres Bukid, Boni (City Hall area)  and San Antonio Village in Makati. Funny thing - I would always live in the house that fronted the deepest part of the flood waters.

So I'm used to -water being in the house - and with every piece of furniture being metal and there are no pieces of paper in the ground floor. My housemates would text with the message "don 't go home anymore" and we all know what this meant - sleep elsewhere.

Anyway, a friend of mine mentioned that because of this event, he needed to "storm proof" his business. I do agree. Again, it was a cab driver who told me that he heard that a bunch of new SUVs were floating in the Marikina River - from SM Marikina. I can only be sorry for the person who runs that business - and for all who had physical businesses only and no "backup".

You see, the internet can be your business - or source of income. It can be your main source or a backup or a secondary source that gives you the same income you're getting now from your job or business or even more.

Nobody asked me, but I'm answering it anyway -- how has the storm affected my online business? If anything, perhaps positively! It made people aware that home, belongings and stores in the physical world (also called "meatspace") can easily be wiped out - with no easy to make backups - but internet businesses (called "cyberspace") can ALSO easily be wiped out - but since backups are easy to create --it can only spell a few hours of delay (if any) and you're back in business again.  Income is coming into your pockets - again.

But what is needed? 

Simple - that you set it up - set up websites that sell or blogs that earn --and you can enjoy the so-called "internet income". You can relocate anywhere on the planet. Yes, that's no joke - because this sort of business allows you to move around - literally.

For example, today I'm in Malolos, Bulacan - and will be here for more than a month - yet I'm still earning very well from the Internet (and exploring this province at the same time!). 

So how can you start?
