Options for a side job
Cost of living has risen and unfortunately the standard of living has dropped. Living on a single income is an absolute struggle. It shouldn’t, but sadly, that’s the reality and it doesn’t look like it will change anytime soon.
Let’s talk solutions. Right now, what are your options that don’t require too much capital or time?
Selling loose products?
Hard to find good products and not enough turnover. Most of the products are cheap stuff which won’t last, and the expensive stuff people would most likely get from the big shops anyway.
Buai market?
Good idea which could be profitable, but again, finding stock is an issue and we haven’t even talked about setting up a stall. You would have to have a setup and have someone selling full time. It may work if you can solve these issues, but it can be costly and will take time to set up. What we want is to have a solution now, something that can put money in your pocket in the minimum amount of time.
Drive?
If you have a car, or could borrow one, this would put money in your pocket on the same day. The problem is finding customers and determining what a fair price is.
One approach is you could drive around and find customers, but how would people know you are operating as a taxi service if your car doesn’t have markings? Driving around also uses extra fuel (which costs). Then next thing is if you found them, how would you set a price that would be fair for both both driver and passenger and they both not feel ripped off?
This is where the GoKam Taxis app solves this for you. The customers find drivers who indicate that they are available to be booked, so drivers never have to worry about looking for passengers – they find and book you on the app. This way also saves fuel.
Also, you both agree on a price beforehand, so there is no feelings of either party getting cheated.
Drivers provide the service, and gets paid the same day. As long as you have a licence and a vehicle (either borrowed or owned), you can drive. No other capital needed and it works anywhere in PNG. It's a customer-collecting machine working for you 24hrs/day, 7 days a week. What other options offer this advantage to both the customer (cost and convenience) and to the driver (freedom, agree on price)?
If you're tired of empty pockets and curious how to start as a driver or register as a future passenger, just message. No obligation whatsoever.
