I have a number of services which I can offer you if you need some assistance that I have knowledge about.
Let’s have a look at what I have to offer:
Consulting Services
I can offer consulting services via telephone, in person, or via email.
You can get a complete rundown of my various consulting packages and fees by clicking here.
Things I would be qualified to consult about:
- Living in the Philippines
- Moving to the Philippines
- Philippine Visa options
- Philippine Culture
- Business (in or out of the Philippines)
- Online Business
- eCommerce
- Online Publishing
- Offline publishing
- Marriage and Relationships with Filipinas
- eBay and Online Auction Sales
- Language learning (particularly Philippine langauges)
On-site Services
If you have a need to get something done in the Philippines, I can take care of it for you in most cases. If you are outside the country, but need to accomplish something in the Philippines, let me know, and I can take care of it in a professional, business-like manner.
My fee for services like this would be that you will pay my travel expenses, hotel, food and incidental expenses while I am on the road, plus $300 per day for my time.
Investigative Services
Do you have a need to have something or someone in the Philippines checked out? My company, Pointman PI can take care of a job like that for you. We have investigated many cases over the years, and can do it in a discreet fashion for you.
If you have a Filipina girlfriend, it would be a wise idea to check her out and make sure she is sincere, and not playing games with you before you travel half way around the world and find out that she has been dishonest with you. We can check her out in a discreet manner, where she will not know that she is being observed at all. If you have specific needs in regards to such an investigation, just let us know.
If you are involved in a business deal with a Philippine Company, again, we can check them out and make sure they are on the level with you, and not just trying to separate you from your money. Let us look into the business before you make a commitment to them.
Bob’s Books
At my bookstore, Expat Island Bookstore, I offer a full selection of books, both paperback and eBooks, to help you learn about the subjects of Expat Living, Philippine topics, Business and Language Learning courses. My books are very affordable and offer a high degree of accuracy, and also a full Money Back guarantee if you are not satisfied. You cannot go wrong with my books or other materials, because I stand behind what I sell. Buy with complete confidence!
LiP Pack
In my Expat Island Bookstore you will find my LiP Pack. This package of books and materials will give you 43 different eBooks, 3 Language Courses and 30 Minutes of one on one telephone consulting with Bob Martin. The total value of this package is $516.86, but by purchasing the entire pack you will get it for the bargain price of $399, a huge savings!
Expat Entertainment
If you live overseas, away from your long time home, you will find that you miss things like TV shows and movies from “back home”. I have a solution for you, though! I am using the Kodi system to watch movies and TV shows from back home! I can offer you a Kodi box that will hook to your TV and will show you TV shows and movies from all around the world! It is inexpensive to get the box, and after that all of the entertainment is free with nothing but an Internet connection! I will set up the box for you to get all of the popular and often requested TV Channels, and will offer you training videos where you can learn how to use the box. It is very easy and very reliable too! Check it out here, I think you will be glad that you did! I know that I enjoy my Kodi system immensely!
Gift Services
I operate a number of websites dedicated to sending Gifts to your loved ones (or those that you hope will become loved ones!) in the Philippines.
I have been in the Gift Business in the Philippines for more than 15 years, so we know what we are doing, and we will do a great job for you!
WowPhilippines – A gift portal for sending gifts to anybody, anywhere in the Philippines. We deliver to any address in the Philippines. Deliveries in most metro areas can be completed in one day (sometimes less!). Deliveries out in the Province can take 1 to 3 days. You can always bet, though, that we will provide you with World Class Customer Service. That’s not just what we hope to do – that is our job! Owned by Bob & Feyma Martin for nearly a decade already!
Mindanao Security
Are you traveling to Mindanao? Some parts of Mindanao can be dangerous, while other parts of the Island are certainly “no go” zones that you should avoid for safety reasons. Bob is a long term resident of Mindanao, and also has been a student of Mindanao for nearly 20 years now. He knows where you can go in relative safety, and where you should avoid. Bob can provide you with a security assessment of your itinerary for travel in Mindanao, if you feel such a services is warranted for your trip. The charge for this security evaluation is $29.99. Payment is accepted through Paypal. If you click on the advertisement next to this text, it will take you to Paypal to make payment, and once payment is received, Bob will contact you within 24 hours to get the details of your travel plans. A security assessment report will follow within 24 hours.
Advertising
My websites have a lot of viewers! There are literally tens of thousands of people worldwide who follow my activities and my life in the Philippines. If you have a product of service that has any relationship to the Philippines, or to Expat life, my websites would be a perfect advertising vehicle for you!
For all of my established websites (Mindanao Magazine, Live In The Philippines Web Magazine) I offer graphic banner advertising (125×125 pixels) for as low as $2 per 1,000 ad views. Minimum monthly purchase is 10,000 views, or just a small investment of $20 per month. We can take on larger ad buys of up to 300,000 ad views per month (per website) if that suits your budget and/or needs. We operate our own Ad Server, and can provide you with statistics each month on how many ad views we delivered, how many clicks, or most any other information that you may require. Contact me through the contact form below and let’s talk about your advertising needs!
For my less popular websites, particularly new sites that I am just starting out, we can give you ad space at a huge savings as a Charter Advertiser, and we will “grandfather” you in so that your rates will remain lower than our regular sales price if you sign on as a Charter Advertiser while the site is still in it’s infancy. Contact me for more details.
