PISONET BUSINESS

What is pisonet? is this really a good business?

Well pisonet business is not new to us, lots of information are readily available on the web. Let me just share my insights on this kind of business. For those who are new on this field or planning to establish pisonet business you may consider the following:

• Basic Computer Knowledge - First of all, you must learn at least the basic operation of a computer from simple installing of softwares to troubleshooting of hardwares, why? it is a big advantage if you know how not only it will save you money from technician it will also save time (hindi ka dapat nakadepende lang sa technician).  Sabi nga "Lamang ang may alam". 

• Budget - How much is your capital? How many units? 

1. How many units of pisonet? (i say at least 4-6 units), a second hand (slightly used) unit costs you at least Php 8,000 - 12,000 depends upon the specifications (hardware components) of the PC and the design you want, because nowadays lots of design came up from the original design arcade type, there is now a table top or the small pisonet box also table top (see pictures below).

2. You must also consider other things needed to fully operate like how much for internet installation?  while other providers offer no cash out some has, if you are also planning for more units you need a Router or Switch Hub and UTP Cables (I will write different article on that).  Likewise, you need Chairs, Table/s, Electric Fan or Aircon unit depends upon the competition on your area.

3. Include also on your budget the cost of Permits (to operate without hassle and to avoid future problems).

4. The improvement of your place will also cost you some, from electrical wirings, fan or aircon installation and other miscellaneous expenses that might come up.

• Location - You must consider a very good or ideal location in which there's a lot of target customers but first make sure that there is available internet connection on the area and make sure it is high speed (kung mabagal net mo or lag ang games sigurado matumal yan). On your chosen location consider permit to operate (ex. Barangay permit, Business permit, BIR, etc.) because every locations has different ordinances or laws (sa ibang barangay ayos lang wala permit kung wala naman reklamo). If there's a large competition on the area, your rate/hour must be the same, do not start a price war! (huwag ka magbaba ng presyo para lang makakuha ng customer, parehas mo lang, magkakatalo na lang sa services like bilis ng net at units and ambience ng pwesto, kasi sa huli parehas kayo malulugi sa pababaan ng presyo). Much better if you had your own place to start rather that renting a space.
