Interested in earning extra money on the side? Use the GlobeOne app to start an easy side hustle with just a small investment. 

The gig: running a Globe prepaid loading business. You can tap into Globe's 54.5 million subscribers who depend on prepaid load to stay in touch, access the internet, and enjoy entertainment. Here's all the essential information to kickstart your raket!

Step 1: Set Up Your Device

You don’t have to go through the Globe Business Center or third-party providers to make money with apps. Just set up your phone and GlobeOne account. Here’s what you need to do.

Download the GlobeOne app.

Get the GlobeOne app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store.

1. Register or sign in using your mobile number.
2. Enter the one-time PIN received.
3. Set up a six-digit PIN and confirm.
4. Agree to Terms and Conditions.

Get a “Business” prepaid number.

While you can use your existing prepaid number for your loading business, you may want to get a new Globe Prepaid SIM to separate personal and business transactions.

If your mobile phone is eSIM capable, you can buy a Globe Prepaid eSIM on the GlobeOne app and use the same device for both numbers.

Register your prepaid SIM.

If you bought a new prepaid SIM, register it through the GlobeOne app. Then, link your account to GCash.

You don’t need to register an old SIM.

Step 2: Sign Up to Be a Retailer

Once you’ve registered a prepaid mobile number, you can set up your business account and start selling commercial load the same day.

1. Run the GlobeOne app and tap "GoEarn."
2. Enter your mobile number, then fill out your personal information. Read the Terms and Conditions and tick the "Agree" box. 
3. After tapping "Next," enter the one-time password (OTP) sent to your mobile number.
4. A pop-up message on GlobeOne should appear saying "You are now a Globe Prepaid Retailer."
5. You should also receive an SMS message welcoming you as a Globe Partner Retailer.

Step 3: Activate Your Account

Congratulations, you’re ready to start your business! You just need to infuse load—just like a store stocking shelves before opening day.

1. Tap "GoEarn" on the GlobeOne app again. You should now see "My Retailer Account." Here, you can view your transaction records and earnings.
2. Select "+Cash in" and choose the "₱500" button (the minimum amount for activation). After this initial investment, you can add any amount.
3. Choose a payment channel like GCash and follow the payment instructions.
4. Once GCash confirms payment, your Retailer Balance should show as ₱500. 
5. If you can click the "Sell Promo" and "Sell Load" buttons, you’re ready to start your side hustle.

Step 4: Enjoy the Earnings and Rewards

Globe typically offers a rebate of around 2% per transaction. For example, if you sell ₱20 worth of load, you get a rebate of ₱0.40. You can earn about ₱100 for every ₱5,000 load you sell. You also get 300 free texts for every ₱3,500 commercial load purchase in a month.

As a Globe Partner Retailer, you also earn unique Globe Rewards points. For every ₱200 of commercial load, you earn one point. You can redeem these points for various rewards and benefits, including unlimited calls and free mobile data for internet browsing.

Step 5: Give Your New Business a Boost

These tips can help you increase your customers and boost your earnings.

Spread the word.

• Put up a sign in a visible location, like your front gate. 
• Ask your local barangay, church, or school for permission to share flyers or put posters on their bulletin boards.
• Partner with other entrepreneurs. For example, if you work in an office, make a deal with one of the cafeteria concessionaires. Ask if you can hang a sign on the stall, in exchange for free load.

Get social.

• Encourage family, friends, and neighbors to talk about your business, especially through social media.
• Add hashtags like #GlobePrepaid or #InstantLoad. 
• Use Canva or other free design tools to make eye-catching social posts about your load services.

Woo with deals.

• Attract new customers with special promotions and discounts, like first-time buyer deals or bonuses for big-load purchases.
• Print loyalty cards, where customers get a freebie after a certain number of purchases.

Encourage word-of-mouth marketing.

Create a referral program where loyal customers can score free load for referring someone who makes a minimum purchase.

It’s Great Being a Globe Retailer Because...

While a loading business may bring in less money than selling clothes or food, it has low starting costs and minimal risk. 

• You don't have to worry about unsold products or wasted stock.
• You can run this business at your own pace and from anywhere.
• You gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience without the risk of significant financial loss.

Besides, if a side gig can cover your daily lunch or merienda, your savings can help you reach bigger financial goals. Don't underestimate the power of those little wins!

Becoming a Globe retailer through the GlobeOne app offers more than the chance to earn extra cash. You boost your financial know-how, gain valuable entrepreneurial experience, and build a loyal customer base for future gigs. Set up that raket on the GlobeOne app now!
