1. What is Buying and selling?
Buying and selling is already an old and flourishing economic activity in the Philippines. Filipinos have been buying and selling for millennia. Usually, what Filipinos do are economic activities to bolster their family incomes.
2. Why did you make it as an advocacy to do buying and selling?
Unlike other economic activity, buying and selling do not require big capital investment. If you have items at home which you think is valuable, still working and in good condition, you can try sell it to other people who may want it. Before, we use to post a classified ad on newspapers. It costs us a lot.
3. Why do you think online buying and selling is better than traditional buying and selling?
a. Online buying and selling, as far as AyosDito.ph is concerned, is free. Just go to our website http://www.AyosDito.ph and you can immediately post an ad there without costing you a cent. That’s the foremost advantage—free ads.
b. Second, the response you get from posting online ads is instantaneous. Since thousands of Filipinos are now using the internet every single day, think about the volume of response your ad will get every single time it is posted in our website.
c. Third, people can see your item in an instant. At AyosDito.ph we encourage sellers to post a clear photo of their item online. Two reasons: first, it gives prospective buyers the chance to see and assess the item immediately. Second, posting a photo with the text ads increases your rate of success. You want to immediately earn money from buying and selling? Start posting free ads at AyosDito.ph.
4. There are a lot of other online classified ads out there. Why do you think posting an online ad at AyosDito.ph is better than the rest?
a. Well, go to our website at http://www.AyosDito.ph and you’ll notice that it takes a faster time for it to load than other sites.
b. Look at the cleaner interface. Even a newbie, or one who uses the internet the first time, will find it extremely easy to navigate the site.

d. Items are categorized by area and by item. Browsing items at AyosDito.ph is not confusing. Since you’ll find it easy to browse, it is also easy to read.
5. Meetups is the most crucial aspect of buying and selling. What do you advise our people out there? What tips can you give them to avoid being gypped or fooled by malicious buyers or sellers?
a. We always tell our users not to be impressed with the things some people put online. If it’s true good to be true, it is probably not.
b. Check out the prices sellers put out. If the price of the item is too good to be true, meaning, fifty percent or ninety percent different from the prevailing retail price, then, it is too good to be believed.
c. Check the item especially those with photos.
d. Meet your buyer or seller in public places like cafes, eateries, or even in banks.
e. Always be accompanied with a relative or a friend when doing meetups.
6. What is an effective online ad?
a. An effective online ad is one with clear instructions and clear description of the item the seller is selling.
b. If the ad has photos, then, that’s almost perfect. When there is a technical description of the item being sold, then, that’s also an effective ad.
7. If you say that the ads that people post in your site is free, then, how do you earn money?
a. Well, at AyosDito.ph, we see this as our company’s commitment in growing the Philippine economy.
b. We are investing our monies and our futures so that buying and selling online as an industry category will be appreciated and understood by Filipinos. Filipino buyers and sellers are the least users in online.
c. Eventually, when advertisers learn of us, will we be able to recover our investments.
