This 18-year-old teenager from Cavite is now earning seven figures a year from his kangkong business.
Josh said that the power of social media helped him find the target market for his products. “In a month po, we [can now] produce 46,000 packs of kangkong chips.” “Before po, lahat ng empleyado ko, all of them are my friends. Pero ngayon po, kumuha na po ako dito sa community lang din namin ng mga single parent, mga PWDs, and lahat po ng gusto talagang magtrabaho dito, kinukuha na po namin hangga’t kaya,” he added.
From being a home-based business, Josh’s original kangkong chips are now available in supermarkets and malls. He also has hundreds of distributors and resellers nationwide.“Pinakamalaking factor ng business marketing eh. So, ginamit ko ‘yung pagiging bata ko, pagiging multimedia enthusiast na mga bata ‘yung magaling sa computer. Ginamit ko siya para mag-market ng business. So malaking factor po talaga ‘yon,” he said.
