How To Guide MAKE MONEY

Becoming an Event Host for All Occasion in the Philippines

Monday, October 17, 2016
This blog already moved to www.savingspinay.ph If you want the latest tips and stories on budget, savings, investments, productivity and making extra income go HERE instead.

 I got asked a lot on how I started hosting  in the Philippines. Becoming an event emcee is an example of side hustle I do since 2011. It became my number 1 source of extra income and I can never be more thankful to God for giving me the hosting skills necessary to succeed in the event planning and management field.

Today I'd like to share to you how I became a host for hire in the Philippines. This is an ultimate guide where you'll know how it all began for me and I'll also share my tips to help you get started hosting Filipino wedding and events.


The Job

Event Hosts, Master of Ceremonies, Emcee, Hosts etc. Those are some of the names that associate someone who lead a program, event or special occasion. Emcees job include introducing key individuals of the events, announcing each activities of the program and keeping the flow of the occasion as engaging as possible.

As a host for hire your ultimate goal is to make every event memorable. Every wedding and event needs a good emcee to succeed and I even included it on the 5 Wedding Supplier You Need to Invest Big Time. Why?

Emcee keeps your audience alive 

Of course you don't want your wedding reception or event boring, right? Good hosts make the impossible possible by keeping the guests engaged and entertained through out the program. Their natural wit and humor will make you agree, laugh and  remember how amazing the couple (wedding), debutant (debut), birthday celebrant (birthday) or program (corporate) can be.

Emcee keeps everything organized

Master of Ceremonies are actually powerful once they held the microphone. They can make special announcements that all the guests will surely follow. If you have instructions on how the dinner will be or what the audience should do, the host is the key person to do so. Hosts keep the flow of communication open and better.

Emcee keeps everyone relax and calm

As long as you booked the right host for your wedding or event you'll feel at peace that everything is taken care of. Good hosts know what to do, what to say and the best timing for everything. You don't have to worry how each and every detail of the program will be. 


How I Became an Event Host for All Occasion in the Philippines

During my college days in Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Manila I was very energetic and talkative. I love being the reporter/presenter on group reports and presentations. Then a professor, Ms. Lanie Teves, saw my potential and asked me to host some events in the university. READ: My Life, My Job, My Career and the 6 Success Tips that Helped Me

From then, I realized I have the talent in hosting and so on October 2011 I decided to create an online advertisement. If you remember sulit.com.ph before then you know how good of a website it is in terms of advertising your own products and services. I actually have low expectation that it would be a success. My main prayer that time was if event hosting is really for me I'm sure God will bless me with clients.

He heard my prayer and provided me not just one, two, three but multiple events that year. I knew at that time that hosting is for me. I was chosen to host The Youth Peace Festival held in SM Mall of Asia and Alex the Lion from Madagascar Meet and Greet at SM Novaliches Event Center. In 2013 I received my first hosting award as 2013 Wedding and Event Host of the Year by Top Brand Global. I tied-up with wedding coordinators and catering business to continuously grow my side business as a event and corporate host in the Philippines.

Today I still do event hosting for all occasion and it is something I plan to do for forever. I love being part of someones' event milestone and I see myself being an event extraordinaire in 3-5 years time.

You Can Be an Event Host Too Here's How!
Hosting is open for all gender and age. You don't even need a resume to get started. All you need are the following skills and characteristics:
  1. Voice Projection - Your delivery of lines matter a lot in hosting a good occasion. You also need to speak loudly and clearly so every person in the venue will understand what's happening. A good host doesn't yell but rather know how to bring dynamics to his/her voice that could make enhance the performance.
  2. High Energy - Your energy as a host can definitely influence the crowd. As the master of ceremonies you have to be on top of your game and really deliver good showmanship to the crowd. You have to wow them with your magnetic personality and confidence as you hold the microphone and start the program. 
  3. Wit and Humor - One characteristic that will definitely define you as a good emcee for all occasion is your ability to offer your wit and humor to the audience. Wit enables you to be very quick and sharp on a given situation. Humor on the other hand is making funny phrases or gestures that will make everyone happy too. 
  4. Clarity - You need to be very clear in your pronunciation and diction. Avoid talking too quickly and know when to pause to make every word you say more understandable.
  5. Preparedness - You also ought to be knowledgeable about the event and have a program that can highlight your client's needs and wants. Once you start talking into the microphone, there's no stopping already. You will be the very point of person through out the event. You are hired to make the event run smoothly and you can only do that with proper preparation beforehand.
3 Steps to Launch Your Event Hosting Profession in the Philippines

Step 1. Advertise Your Hosting Skills to Friends and Relatives. 

You can slowly build your portfolio as an emcee for all occasion by announcing to your friends and relative about your service. A simple post on your Facebook account and word of mouth can open a lot of opportunities for you. Try to say "yes" to every event that comes along your way as a beginner so you'll have more testimonials on your portfolio and added learning experience as well. 

Step 2. Make Your Own Portfolio Online. 

Once you get around 3-5 hosting you can now build your online portfolio. You can do a Facebook Page or Instagram account and start selling your talent online and reaching out more people. Post a video of you hosting and include your contact details on the caption. This will surely entice people to book you for their event. 

Step 3. Familiarize Yourself with Each Event. 

Your skills as a host will improve with more experience. I have been hosting for almost years now and I can definitely say that I have massively improved. I can be as natural as possible when hosting a wedding even without a prepared program. I also notice that I can handle the situation easier through time and I definitely developed enough self-confidence thanks to my years of emceeing.

How Much Can You Earn as a Event Host for Hire?

Your talent fee as emcee depends on  three things: 
  1. The Type of Event. Events like birthday parties, wedding receptions lasts for 2-3 hours and call for a simpler hosting style. Corporate events on the other hand can be shorter or longer and need formality on your side as host. 
  2. The Location. Since hosting is service-type you can also ask for a higher payment on transportation for further location. There is so called Metro Manila fee and Provincial fee in hosting too.
  3. The Host's Profile. Seasoned hosts will surely have higher talent fee than beginners. I've been hosting for five years and counting and can pass as a seasoned host but to be honest I still consider myself as a beginner. I love learning from other hosts as well. 
Final Notes from SavingsPinay

Hosting events is one the best way I earned extra income in the Philippines. No capital or investment needed and you can easily start earning from scratch. As long as you know you have the talent then go for it. If I doubted my talent and didn't create an advertisement before then I am probably not hosting today and earning 8,000 to 12,000 extra monthly. This is even low income report compared to other friends and colleagues who charge the 8,000pesos per event!!! Again if you have the talent develop it and earn from it!

Is hosting events something you want to do too?

Business Ideas MAKE MONEY

5 Business Ideas to Start This -Ber Month

Friday, October 7, 2016
This blog already moved to www.savingspinay.ph If you want the latest tips and stories on budget, savings, investments, productivity and making extra income go HERE instead.

 The holiday season is not just for celebrations but also a great time to earn some cash. There are plenty business ideas you can start with zero to low starting capital and even at the comfort of your own home. Here are 5 business ideas to start and make money from this -ber month in the Philippines. 


1. Puto Bumbong and Bibingka Business

Both Puto Bumbong and Bibingka are staple snack during the holidays season especially those who attend the Simbang Gabi. This can be a good opportunity for to make extra money by starting a puto bumbong and bibingka stall on a place close to church. You might need a starting capital of 3,000 to 5,000 pesos depending on the quantity you plan to sell. Puto Bumbong and Bibingka both sells around 25-50pesos per serving. Most prefer to sell puto-bumbong and bibingka during the holiday season till month of January while others sell whole year round.

Below are recipe ideas I found at pinoyraket.blogspot.com:

PUTO BUMBONG #1

Ingredients

- Five (5) kilograms of glutinous rice
- One (1) cup ordinary rice
- One (1) tablespoon of food coloring (Lilac)
- One (1) kilo of freshly grated matured coconut
- Margarine
- Sugar

Procedure:
  • Mix glutinous rice, ordinary rice and food coloring. Soak in water for four hours. Slowly grind using a stone grinder or manual grinder. Be sure not to put too much water in while grinding, this will delay drying of milled ingredients. Too much water will cause the mixture to be sticky. Put milled ingredients onto cotton cloth. Tie corners of the cloth. Let it drip. When the mixture is almost dried, press it using a heavy object to remove excess water. Let stand overnight.
  • Remove the milled ingredients from the cloth. Place it on finely woven cotton cloth. Mix and crush the milled ingredients using your hand until the finest particles pass through the cotton and fall into a container. Collect the particles.
  • Boil water using the steamer. Cover it with custom-made-cover with nozzles big enough to fit bamboo tubes or metal cylinders. Cover the nozzles with cotton cloth.
  • Grease cylinders with margarine then half-fill cylinders with milled ingredients. Cover the other end of the cylinder with cotton cloth. Fit the opposite end into the nozzle. Steam will come out of the cylinder when it is cooked. Before removing Puto Bumbong from the cylinder, invert position to ensure proper cooking.
  • To remove Puto bumbong from the cylinder, hold it in a vertical position and gently tap it out over a plate.
  • Put sugar and freshly grated coconut as toppings. Best when served hot with ginger tea.
PUTO BUMBONG #2

Ingredients:

1 cup malagkit (glutinous) rice
6 tablespoon of pirurutong (black rice)
4 cups of water
Mature coconut, shredded
Margarine
Sugar

Instructions:
  • Wash the malagkit and pirurutong, then soak in water for 3-4 hours.
  • Then grind the rice. Let it dry on a strainer.
  • Soak the bumbong/(Slender Bamboo) in oil and scatter with shredded mature coconut. Fill ¾ of the bumbong with the grind rice and put it on a steamer. Let it cook.
  • Then remove the puto on the bumbong, apply margarine, coconut and sugar. Serve.

- salt
- sugar

* Soak malagkit and ordinary rice mixture in salted water with violet food coloring for 1 hour.
* Let dry overnight by putting inside a flour sack.
* Put something heavy on top to squeeze out water.
* Mixture is ready for cooking the following morning.
* Heat steamer (lansungan) with enough water.
* Put a small amount of rice mixture inside bamboo tubes(bumbong).
* Attached bamboo tubes to lansungan or steamer.
* When steam comes out of bamboo tubes, remove and immediately push out puto bumbong.
* Top with coconut shred and sugar before serving.

BIBINGKA (Coconut rice desert)

Ingredients:

- 2 1/2 lb (5 1/2 cups)mochi rice
- 1 can (12 oz) frozen coconut milk, thawed
- 1 pkg (1 lb.)dark brown sugar
- bananna leaves

Procedure:
  • Rinse rice and cook in rice cooker. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups of the brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Wilt banana leaves over low heat on electric stove; line a 13 X 9 X 2 inch baking pan. Preheat electric oven to 350 degrees F. Put cooked rice into a large bowl. Reserving 1/2 cup of the coconut milk mixture, stir remainder and remaining brown sugar evenly into the hot rice. Put into prepared pan. Top with the reserved 1/2 cup coconut milk mixture. Bake for 20 minutes, then broil for five minutes to set topping. Cut into small pieces. Makes 45 servings.
2. Christmas Bazaar (RTW, accessories, cosmetics, etc.) 

A ton of bazaar will surely pop up now that the -ber month season has begun. If you want a quick extra cash then join a bazaar to sell any ready-to-wear items, accessories, cosmetics and other products. People love to shop during the Christmas season and with a small capital you can easily get the return of your investment through price mark up.  

How to sell on Christmas Bazaar?

  • First, decide on what you want to sell. Look for what's trendy this season and what you think your friends and family will like. 
  • Next, come up with supplies. It is important to have your items to be sold already available before you even sign up as exhibitor in a bazaar.
  • Then, research on bazaar near your area. Most common bazaars during holidays in the Philippines are Noel Bazaar, Manila Sundance Bazaar and/or Trendsetters Bazaarr. Visit their FB Page or Instagram site for contact info. You directly ask for information on how to reserve a spot on their bazaar. Bazaar Exhibitor fee range from 2,500 to 5,000pesos daily depending on location.
  • Your post-holiday to list includes creating your own instagram shop/FB page to continue selling your item of choice even though the Christmas season is already over.

3. Baked Holiday-themed Cakes and Pastries 

Another great extra income idea is selling holiday-themed cakes, pastries and goodies to your friends, family and workmates. People love pretty things and you'll surely get a lot of customers who would either buy your product as a gift or just want to eat. Common starting capital you need is below 5,000pesos and you can market your products .

Here's a list of Holiday-themed Baked Ideas You Can Sell:
  • Fruit Cake 
  • Chocolate Lollipops
  • Donut Pop
  • Graham Balls and other variants
  • Leche Flan
  • Ube Halayan
  • Holiday Cakes
  • Cake in a Jar
4. Fruit Stand

Another good extra income idea is starting a fruit stand on your neighborhood. People love fruits and will look for different fruits during the big holiday feasts. As long as you have a good location you can earn a lot by having a fruit stand business. Below are extensions of your fruit stand business that you can also try:
  • Fruit shake (with the ever chnaging weather this can still be profitable)
  • Buko stand (ideal in making buko salad)
  • Fruit Punch (people will also love some refreshing drinks)

5. Mini Christmas Gift Store/ Toy Store 

This business idea is well recommended for those who have good location. Go to a Divisoria and scout some ideal gift items and toys you can sell for higher price. Items like cute mugs, teddy bears, board games, printed t-shirts are very in gift ideas for school Christmas party. You can even give free gift wrap for every purchase as a form of marketing. Toys on the other hand are best sold to kids during the Christmas week. 

Final Notes from SavingsPinay

Personally I'd love to start a mini Christmas gift store/toy store on our area. My parent's store location is along the highway so I feel like it would be a very profitable business. I am trying to declutter and sell some of my clothes to generate extra income and put it on my emergency fund. The -ber months is a good opportunity to earn and to learn. Practice your business skills and who knows this could be the calling you've been waiting for.

Do you have any additional business idea?

How To Guide MAKE MONEY Travel Blogging

How to Blog and Earn in the Philippines

Wednesday, September 21, 2016
Blogging had ultimately changed my life for the better. I am so thankful and blessed that I discovered this early. Having a blog allowed me to get my creative juices flowing. It made me learn a lot of new things about myself. It opened opportunities for me to meet people and work with others who have the same passion. It also gave me an idea that earning extra income online is attainable. If you haven't thought of blogging for the money then maybe this article will enlighten you. 


My Story as a Blogger

It was year 2013 when I first entered the blogger arena. I got inspired by a lot of blogs I read since I was a college freshman like Ms. Aisa Ipac of Drowning Equilibrium (I even interviewed her for a project in college), Ms. Ana Gonzales of The Fashion Commuter, Ms. Nikki Tiu of AskMeWhats, etc. My blog focus on makeup and ukay finds - two things I am totally in love with.

Since then this blog has been in a ton of makeover. From new topics I introduce to posts I have deleted because they're not that good. My photos and how I edit them also changed dramatically. I also spent way more time blogging than what I once did. Blogging became a big part of me trying to be an adult. It had been my creative outlet, a part of myself I can be proud of --- my identity. 

I have never been this serious over something in my life. My blogs, IzzaGlino - A beauty and lifestyle blog for frugal Pinays and SavingsPinay - A financial journey of a common Pinay, are both my babies. I am happy when I see them, when I feed them with posts, when I spend time with them and of course when they achieve a milestone. Both sites have consumed almost half my life this past three to four years. And I have zero regrets at all. 

How To Start a Blog (for when you have no idea at all!)

Starting a blog is way easier than one could imagine. All it takes is following below simple steps:

Step 1. Choose your niche/topic

Blogs come in different niche depending on a blogger's interest. I started a Fashion and Beauty Blog, IzzaGlino because that's where my interest was. Then came my love for financial education that led to the arrival of SavingsPinay.

Below are the complete list of blog categories/ topic/ niche you can choose from.
  • Arts & Craft
  • Books & Literature
  • Business & Finance
  • Community & Groups
  • Corporate & Official
  • Education
  • Entertainment
  • Lifestyle
  • Fashion & Beauty
  • Food & Drink
  • Health & Medicine
  • Home & Living
  • Humor
  • Legal
  • Marketing & SEO
  • Music
  • News & Journalism
  • Personal
  • Photoblogs
  • Pictures & Models
  • Politics & Government
  • Productivity & Career
  • Real Estate
  • Religion
  • Sports & Recreation
  • Technology & Computers
  • Travel & Leisure
  • Video Games
  • Web Development & Design
Step 2. Choose Your Blog Name

After you've decided on the central theme of your blog, your task now is to come up with the perfect name that your audience can easily remember. It is also ideal to name your blog out of your real name to create branding and to not limit you in what you could post in your blog. You can also be very specific and base your name on the blog theme you chose. What matters is that you strategically choose the name of your blog. 

Step 3. Choose Your Blog Platform

Blog platforms are available as an easy way to build a blog. All you have to do is sign-up, enter your specific details of your blog and choose your blog template. The most common blog platforms are Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr. You can also build your own website provided that you pay for hosting and domain name.

Blogger is a perfect platforms for beginners who need a user-friendly blog platform. You can create multiple blogs in one account. Since Blogger  is owned by Google it is also way easier to top the Google ranking. You can easily connect Google Adsense to start monetizing your space and you have a pool of widgets to make your blog look even better.

Wordpress is ideal for those who aim to have their blog more professional. The templates that Wordpress have are more classy-looking rather than Blogger Templates. You have a lot of control over how your blog post will be published on the web. Wordpress also offers functional widgets that go hand in hand in your goal to maximize the potential of your blog.

Tumblr is more for personal blogging. It is very easy to set up and more on a social media type of blog because people can retweet the blog posts and follow your blog. 
The platform also offers a lot of beautiful theme you can choose from. This is also a great platform for photo blogs that involve  fashion and travel.

Step 4. Design Your Blog

Depending on the platform you choose for your blog, you might need to spend time designing how you want your blog to be seen by the public. Designing a Blogger, Wordpress and Tumblr will soon be up on my blog. There are Free Themes and Premium (Paid) Themes to choose from. 

Step 5. Start Blogging

Once you are happy with how your blog looks you can now start with the actual blogging. You undergo a series of blog writing, producing image for the blog and editing. As a beginner you may or may not  opt for an editorial calendar and just use an old notebook to plan your content. The beginning phase of the blog is the most crucial part of a blogger's journey but if you will just strive hard everything will be seamless in the end.


How to Blog for the Money

Bloggers rely most of their income through the pageviews they get. The more traffic your blog gets, the better it would perform as an income stream. There are five important things you need to be able to blog for the money. 

1. Reader-friendly blog design 
If you want to more visitors to your blog that can turn to loyal readers then it is a must for you to actually about your blog design. Make sure that the color palette of your layout match the branding you want to build for your audience. Do not put too much unnecessary advertisements for the sake of money because it will never work. Readers love beautiful blog and when I say beautiful I mean blog designs that's easy on the eyes and easy to understand.

2. Valuable Content

You may have heard this a thousand times already but yes, content is the king when it comes to blogging. Without a valuable and relatable posts then nobody will notice your blog at all. Make your post excellent as always so that your visitors will keep on returning to your site. 

3. Social Media Marketing

READ NOW
It is also highly important that you promote your blog on social media. You have to build your presence online through posting on Instagram, sharing on Facebook (personal account, pages and/or groups) and using Twitter and/or Pinterest. This is where the gap between the famous and not so well-known blog increase to be honest. A strong social media marketing will give you a lot of advantage getting your posts across multitude of readers. 

4. Consistency

Through the years of blogging here and on my personal blog, IzzaGlino, I learned how valuable being consistent is. Your readers will thank you for updating your blog often and for sticking to a schedule they can remember. There's also something about consistency in the writing style and the way you deliver every post that will make you grow more.

5. Income Streams that Match Your Blog

There are many ways you can earn money through blogging and these are called income streams collectively. Below are the ways a blogger generate extra income through their platform:

Pay Per Click Ads
Pay Per Click Ads are the ads you primarily see in a blog's sidebar, header or footer. Once a reader clicks on the ads displayed you will earn money. The clicks earn between .15-.50 cents per click. 

Example of Sites that offer Pay Per Click Advertising: Google Adsense, Chitika and Infolinks.

How Does PPC Ads work? Based on the nature of your blog and the type of banner you chose from your registered account, relevant ads will display. With great location and relevance to your post you'll surely earn from PPC Ads.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is the most common income streams for bloggers specially those who have established their authority online. You partner with a brand/company and either display an image or link with your unique code to your site or your post. You'll receive commissions for every successful sale through your unique link. There are also plenty of benefits being an affiliate offer like discount to their products and services or discount codes your readers can use. 

 Example of Sites that offer Affiliate Marketing: Lazada Affiliate, Zalora Affiliate, Amazon's Affiliate, and VOffice

How Affiliate Marketing Works? Again based on the nature of your blog you can either apply or be invited as an affiliate. You have access to a number of banners/ads you can choose to display anywhere in your website. You'll also have a quick link that you can write as a hyperlink every time you mention the brand. 


Did you know?

Last August I won a blog contest that allowed me to travel to Caramoan Island for free!!! Thanks to TravelBook Affiliate Program which I am a part of. If you are a travel or lifestyle blogger this could be a good affiliate program to you. I did a full post on How To Earn with TravelBook Affiliate Program to get help you get started. You can also read the posts I did related to TravelBook Affiliate Blogger Getaway below:


Sponsored Ads
This is most common income generating tool for those who have a beauty and lifestyle blog. Businesses want to widen their reach especially to the online community so bloggers may be asked to try out a product and blog about it. Sometime not just a product but the whole business itself.  

Getting Sponsorship Opportunity though is hard or rare if you are a new bloggers. Thus, Network Sites such asNuffnang and Blogapalooza are established. They help connect bloggers to businesses and brands easily. Complete honesty will be needed though so you won't lose your readers trust. Also this will work if you really use a certain service or product.

Own Product
Bloggers can also start selling their own product through their blog. These products come in two types, Digital and Physical. Digital Products include eBook, Online Course, Printable workbooks and other materials which can be accessed and used digitally. Other bloggers sell their own physical product like an online shop linked to their blog. 


Own Service
Another great way bloggers earn money is by offering their service to the public. You can do a Coaching/Mentoring service or do Paid Webinar Series or live workshop where your audience will have to pay. You will be paid based on your time and worth. 


Become a Speaker

 You can create a "Invite Me As Speaker" page in your blog for people to contact you in case they need a speaker for their event. Others invite speakers too for seminar or company activities. 

Can You Really Earn Money with a Blog

Whenever I tell to people that I am a blogger the first thing they ask is whether I earn money with it. I completely understand the curiosity but I do feel a little uncomfortable sharing my answer. 

You see for someone whose been blogging for four years and counting I never earned that much compared to others. I've always considered my blogs as mediocre to be honest because its still unknown to the publics' attention.

But the biggest chunk of the reason why my blogs can't seem to grow is because of me, myself and I. I have all these ideas lined up but I can't find the will, the time and the effort to start. I've been wanting soooo hard to transition the blog into a business portal and I'm taking each and every step as slowly but surely. 

If you are starting a blog just for the money then I'll be the first to warn you that its not going to be an easy task. You have to work extra hard and be extra strategic on everything. Below are the truths about blogging for the money:

You won't make money overnight. It takes a considerable amount of time to reach an earning potential as a blogger. But it is possible and you may have seen or read thousands of success stories of people having the blog as a part-time job or even a full-time job. 

You have to find your niche. This seals the deal if you want to blog for the money. You need to find your blogging niche or what sets your blog apart from other online websites. The more specific you blog topic is the better it would be in the long run. This blog is an example of a niche blog. It talks only on money matters specifically set for Pinay audience. And did you know that SavingsPinay stayed to be way much profitable than my personal beauty and lifestyle blog, IzzaGlino. 

You have to treat your blog as a business. If your serious in making your blog profitable then you need to start thinking of it as a business and not just an ordinary hobby. You need to work like your own employee creating a solid audience, a solid brand and solid reputation in the blogsphere. 

 Final Notes from SavingsPinay:


It all started as a hobby for me. An interest that grew bigger in time. I didn't even realize that there's an audience for a financial blog not to mention that I'm a woman and I'm still young. I didn't believe that there will be people who will entrust their financial decision to someone like me {No I am not a professional financial consultant but I do offer my service as a financial coach at the moment} It all started with just simple blog. I attended events, received proposals from companies and met people whom I idolize in the blogsphere --- with just a simple blog.

My point maybe is this. We all just need the courage to start something. No matter how many people tell you there's no point in pursuing that passion, no matter how many people tell you it's time to stop --- keep going. SavingsPinay started with zero pageviews and today I receive 10,000++ monthly views and almost near my 200,000 pageviews.

One day you'll get noticed and you'll inspire others to build their own mark as wel and a BLOG is the cheapest and the most effective tool to get you there.
