Since I started working for my own and for my family in 2010, I never got a chance to have a 6-digit amount of money into my hands - not until I was able to sold a social media account for P300,000, a one-time deal in 2018.
I started my career as a call center agent in BPO industry earning at least P16,000 to P24,000 including taxes and government premiums. With inflation and the ongoing hike of the prices (food, products, rent, services and transportation) in the Philippines, everyone just like me needed another hustle or extra job to earn more and to cope up.

In 2018, I finally ended my 8-year long day job (mostly night job since I clock-in graveyard shifts) when me and my wife started to raise a family with our daughter. Our decision to be with her all the time, to be hands-on in raising her, and to witness every life event with her, did a big impact to my career - to become a full-time dad while being a part-time blogger.

I also get some payments from another affiliate marketing platform called, "12go.asia" where I occasionally get paid a minimum amount of P500.
