Does not describe size of book. It could be only a 3 page flier. Also does not show that 49 ways really work. As there is no Guarantee or reader testimonials, it could be a bad value. If you had a qualified promoter like news agency or magazine putting their reputation on the line I would buy this book much faster. (49 Ways to Make a Living in the Philippines) Are there any number of people reporting a reliable income derived from following this books ideas? Thank you!
Hi Darrell – The book is over 100 pages. Perhaps you don’t know who I am, I am not sure. I operate some of the biggest and most popular websites in the Philippines. One of my sites, Live in the Philippines Web Magazine, is the biggest site for foreign expats living in the Philippines, and has thousands of readers each day. I would say that my reputation is well known, and is on the line in putting my books out.
I have lived in the Philippines for 10 years, and have no kind of income or pension other than what I earn on the Internet, and I make more money now than I ever did when I lived in the States.
Here are some reviews that you can find online from others who have read the book:

You may also check here for an article I wrote myself about the book.
I hope this helps you.
Hi bob i read a lot of your stories and go on the site about every day just wondering if the cost is us dollers for your books as although i may not get to the phillipines in the near future to live i think that your advise on matters such as earning a living ect would be indespensable as you are the one living there not me and as they say knowledge is power so the more i have about living there the easier it will be when i do get there

Hi Chris – Yes indeed, all prices shown are in US Dollars. The book really can apply toward earning a living anywhere in the world, both on the Internet and non-Internet ways. I titled it “in the Philippines” because this is where I live, and most who follow me are interested in living here. But, as I said, it can really be used anywhere int he world!
Good luck to you, my friend!
Wow.. I will order this book. I want to move to Cebu in a few years. I am only 31 and have no retirement plan lol
$49 is about £30, which is extortionate for a 100 page book! I would pay maybe £5 for it.
Ha ha… Rob, I’m not selling paper, so it really doesn’t matter how many pages the book is. What I am selling is information which you can use to make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are not many expats who can earn much money in the Philippines, but I have, and I do it every day. I would not consider selling it to you for £5 because it is worth much more.
Good luck to you.
I am a fanatic reader of your website for just a month now I found it so interesting & very informative. I’m interested to have a copy of your book “49 ways to earn a living in the Phils.”. Is there a chance to have a hard copy of it? Aside from online payment, what is the other way to pay you? I’m coming home this month, maybe I could pay you by bank transfer when I reach Manila, and upon receipt of my payment you can send me the book by courier. You can add on the courier charges with the cost of the book, no problem.
Thank you, and please advice.
Hi Edwin – Sorry, but I only offer electronic copies of the book, no hard copies any longer. I would be happy to take payment by Western Union, or bank deposit while you are in the Philippines, and I can e-mail you a copy of the book.

Bruce – I can provide you with a printed copy, but I would charge $10 more for that, because it is an eBook, and I’ll have to go out and have it printed and bound for you. I can take online payment, Western Union, Bank Transfer, whatever would be convenient for you.
Hi Bruce – I believe that the information I provide in the book is valuable, and can help you earn a good living here.
I can assure you, Bruce, I would not even make the effort of writing it for £5. The book can help you earn enough money to live on, and that’s only worth £5 to you?
Bob’s book, ’49 Ways…’ is a great read, simple and concise, and worth every penny. Connsider this an investment, not an expense. That said, if you are not into working hard, not being creative, and not being relentless, this book is not for you, none are. You reap what you sow, in this book, and in life. Books may be the most underrated purchase in history, as they can provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment and knowlege, and dare I say, wisdom. Bob’s books are great, in the right hands. But like any book, the pages must be opened, and so must the mind. With books, cost should not equate with quantity.
Hi Mike – Thank you for your nice comment. I am happy to know that you found my book useful! Good luck in all of your endeavors!
I would be very interested in knowing anyone who has used any of Bob’s 49 earning ideas in the Philippines and what level of income has been achieved?

Hi David – I don’t know if anybody will reply, as this is more of a sales site, and people don’t come here unless they are looking to buy something… but I welcome anybody who has purchased the book to leave their comment. I have sold a lot of this book, and have heard a lot of positive feedback. I’ve gotten a couple of negatives back too, I’ll be honest. But, with the number of copies I’ve sold, it is only natural that it is not for every single person. And, as I recall, I’ve had only about two negatives about the book.
I suspect your two negative opinions on your book are solely due to user error! It only works for those who have a sense of creativity (as entrepreneurs have) and are willing to work at it, hard.
Not everyone has the creative edge. That’s why this book is not for everyone. You provide the direction and the reader must supply the work. That’s why most people are better off doing the 9 to 5 while others are more apt to try the hard road with great risk but possibly great rewards.
Hi Mike – Ha ha… you might be right on that one, i can’t say for sure. I am glad that the book has given you some ideas, though, on how to make money! Good luck on your continued success.
Bob, is this a “How to” with directions and a road map book that shows the reader proven ways they can apply the methods immediately and start making money?
Or is it more generalized where the user must think up creative way to market items, and then must find marketable items and you give them pointers (but not exact specifics) on how to do it?
I prefer a set or predictable, repeatable steps that work over and over to varying degrees of success.
I’m not saying I expect someone to do the actual work for me, but for the cost of the book, it should give me more than generalized information and should give step by step specifics that are repeatable.
Techniques that the buyer can use repeatedly to make money.
Can you comment?
Mabuhay!
Hi Peterson – Actually, I would say it is both. The book gives you 49 specific ways to earn a living in the Philippines. Products to sell, services to offer, etc. These are things that I have done myself in most instances, or a few that I know other people have done. It also gives you ideas on how to “think outside the box” be creative and come up with other ways to earn money.
Hi Bob,
I would be interested in getting your material, and was wondering if there would be any reason I couldn’t transfer it to a flash drive once I received it, so I could have it when I go to the Philippines. Thanks,
Rex
Hi Rex – The book is a PDF file, and once you have it you can put it on any kind of drive you wish. No problem on a flash drive!
Hi Bob,
I’m interested in getting your ebook for my wife. I’m here in the Philippines now and would like to pay in Php for bank deposit. Email me details if possible. Thanks. Fernando
Hi Fernando, I just sent you an e-mail to the address that you left me.
Hi Bob:
I just bought your book. I consider myself to be a bit more tech savy than the average TEDDY BEAR. At the age of 71+, your book presented many ideas about how to use the Internet in ways I had never thought of, or even thought possible. I have been playing with computer since I was a young sprout of 20.
I have been reading your blog for over 2 years. Have not communicated with you before.
I send stuff to Dave, on an intermittent basis.
Fred
Hi Fred! Thanks for your purchase! I am very happy that you found some good new ideas in the book! It is amazing some of the stuff that you can do on the Internet! I guess that what we can do is only limited by our imaginations!
Good luck to you!
Hi Bob,
I am interested in your products and the books, so I will order next time.
Well, I am to young for retire now (48), but I stayed in Davao and Samal 3 months in
2009 and 4 months in Manila, Subic, Olongapo in 2008.
Davao is the place I want stay the rest of my life, but needing a small business to
survive there because my savings will not reach until I get a pension.
I am looking for just a simple life, native style.Just a small bamboo house for rent, no need
flowing water or electricity there and cooking with coal or wood.
I love this kind of simple life but the simplest life needs a small money….
Today I am learning Filipino language.
What I want to do is open a little barbecue restaurant like sarisari store.
By the way, my wife is from Davao, we are living here in Germany since 12 years but want go back soon to the Philippines.
Maybe we meet each other there one day.
For now maraming salamat po or in Davao dakhan salamat
Ralf
Hi Ralf – Daghang salamat sa imong comment! Thank you! Yes, you can certainly enjoy a simple life here in Davao, and my book will help you in figuring out how to set up a business that will keep the bills paid! I wish you the best of luck with your plans!
Well… I guess one of the way to make a living in the Philippines is to write and sell an eBook !
Bob, generally speaking, excellent work, you are helping many people here and there.
Johny
Hi Bob. I have sent you questions in one of your blogs and you were always right on the mark with your answers. I have spent time in manila, and also calbayog samar and iam in the process of buying a home in calbayog. I will be purchasing your book and i know your info will be priceless. I know through experience now that what you have told me in the past was valuable info. thank you again.
Thank you very much blair. I try to always be accurate with any information I share with people who ask, and I am glad that you found my answers accurate! Let me know anytime I can help you.
Bob, I have to say that $49.00 US is a lot for a shelf help “type of book”. I own many. But I must state that if your book make me money then I will see it as a worth while investment. My question is this, have you up dated this book to keep up with the times? We are now at the end of 2011 and a lot has changes in the last few years. I have a very good job yet I am looking to work for myself.
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan – Yes, of course I update the book as the times call for it. If you actually do the things in the book, then $49 is cheap, because you can make a good amount of money by following the suggestions.
Take care.
Hi Bob,
I do plan on ordering after the first of the year (I get my Xmas bonus the first payday in January)
I have a few questions.
1. If I order the Arbitrage set, is it at all possible to substitute one book? I really have no use for the immigration guide since I have that stuff nailed down already.
2. Are these eBooks printable? Often times I like to print pages from eBooks for markup etc, but often they are locked down and do not even allow printing or use of the adobe markup features
I will be settling in the Bulacan area in the near future, so if if you need any contacts there, I would be happy to work with you at some point if you ever want to expand your business model.
Thanks
Hi Joe – Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, I would be happy to substitute a book for you if you purchase the Arbitrage Pack, no problem at all.
And, no problem on the printing either, the books are fully printable if you choose to do so.
Please let me know any time I can assist you, Joe, it would be my pleasure.
Hi Bob,
I’m from Singapore and fall in love with the Philippines ever since I first visited in 2008. I have always wanted to start something in the Philippines but just didn’t take enough time to research on it. Right now, I’m commited to work hard and be really serious about it and that’s why I wanted to buy your book cos you are someone who have been there, done that.
But something is holding me back and it’s this. I hope I’m not buying something which just states:
1) Do this, Do that and you’ll make it..
2) Step 1, go to…Step 2, how to register a blog/website/or anything online…Step 3, click on this, click on that…
3) Affiliate merchants site (Click Bank, Commission Junction, Amazon…and the likes…) how to register and find products…you know what I mean…
Are your ideas feasible even though I’m not in the Philippines now?
Hmm, little suggestion. Why don’t you put a few sample pages of your book on this site which will make many people (and you) easier and happier.
Hello Zaahir – I offer a 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. So far, I have been selling this book for about 4 1/2 years, and I have given one refund that I recall. I sell many copies of the book every week too. If you don’t think the information n the book is what you want, just let me know and you get 100% of your money back.
I can assure you that my book is nothing like you described. It is ideas for different types of business.
I do not put up samples of the book for one reason… I have 40 blogs on the Internet. My Live in the Philippines site contains more than 2,000 articles that I wrote myself. I think I have so much of my writing out there that you can get a very good idea of what my writing style is like.
Thanks for asking, Zaahir. Have a great day!
Hi Bob,
I purchased the book based on your reply to me.
Sadly, it isn’t what I’m looking for while I browse through. I just bought the book about 10 mins ago.
Please refund me 100%
Your refund has been issued. Wow, I do find it amazing that you could read the entire book in 10 minutes!
