The Philippines – A country of Entrepreneurs

The Philippines is a country of over 106 million people, with a 94% literacy rate and over 70% of the population literate in the English language. Per capita income is over $3,000 and growing, with only a decline in recent months due to the Covid Pandemic. Women own almost 90% of all business in the Philippines, including some of the largest Corporations. The Philippines ranks 18th in the World for entrepreneurship, with the US still being number 1. Over 90% of all Internet searches in the Philippines are through Google, so Geotargeting of the Philippines is easy to do, and can reap great rewards, with the right offers. What is the “right offer?” Most likely one that offers Filipinos an opportunity to build a business or their own. But, there is also a huge market for high-end goods of all types, as the rich there love expensive things, just like everywhere else, I guess.

All told, there are millions of people in the Philippines seeking to start a business, and many of those speak and read English. It is a hotbed of small business owners, with huge numbers of young people seeking a better life through an Internet business.

Some of the largest companies in the World use the Philippines as their base of operations due to the high education levels and work ethic of the people. Many call centers and support centers are located there due to the good Internet structure and the English-speaking college graduates available for hire.

In short, it is a great place for Affiliate Marketing to prosper. Huge numbers of educated people with technical skills for building websites and marketing products, and a deeply felt driving desire to succeed make this a place of opportunity. Also, there is a long history of entrepreneurship in the country, for hundreds of years.

There is poverty in the Philippines, but it is slowly ebbing away as the education and income level rise. More and more young people have the chance to finish school and attend college, which has always held a high priority in Filipino households. Almost all have access to the Internet now, through phones, computers, and Internet Cafes. More and more Filipino-owned businesses are selling over the Internet, both locally and overseas. They see Internet Marketing at work daily in their lives, so they know what it is. All they need is to have a chance to learn how to do it.
