BEAUTY BULLETIN: Some Really Cool News For The Holidays

And to quote Destiny's Child: "I don't think you're ready for this jelly." LOL! Can you handle this big beauty and digital bulletin? I'm unveiling today some holiday beauty collections that you should include in your Christmas wish list and two fab ways to earn extra income for the holidays: one out of sheer luck and one out of sheer hard work. Read on!

90% of Filipinos are Internet users and the Philippines is one of the growing nests of e-commerce globally; these facts show that a thriving Internet business is always an opportunity in our country and YiLinker has realized the Philippines' potential in becoming a leader in the e-commerce industry.

Yilinker, one of China's biggest e-commerce platforms has just arrived in the Philippines, bringing with them a hassle- free way to shop for the latest fashion, beauty, and tech finds and good news to anyone who's been looking for a way to earn extra income without the big investment and with half the effort of putting up an actual business.

Affiliate marketing is one of the tried and tested ways to generate income and increase sales online. However, other e-commerce platforms have limited options for affiliates: it's always the usual put-a-link-or-badge-on-a-certain-website and unfortunately, this technique is already old and don't actively engage potential customers; YiLinker offers a unique angle to affiliate marketing and that is aside from running marketing promotions on websites, affiliates can run promotions on social media and actually resell products by curating their own online store using the existing products in YiLinkers' database and earn commission up to a whopping 60%. What's great about this is you're actually engaging your potential customers, you're selling something that resonates with you, thus making the job easier on your part, and the earning potential is bigger than most e-commerce sites. Best of all, you don't have to shell out any capital or even have physical stocks to start selling!

Sellers at YiLinker will benefit from this business model because it will get the marketing and even sales job half done through the affiliates. For buyers, choose from YiLinker's wide selections of fashion, beauty, and tech items!

So would you like to push through with that Boracay trip with friends come summer 2016? Then start saving up for it actively through YiLinker. Just visit YILINKER PHILIPPINES on Facebook to inquire about the registration.
