Trying Hard Blogger Turns Into a Fulltime Freelancer: First Encounter to Visayas Blogging Summit

|




I started blogging on early 2008, I don’t have any intention to make an eye catching post coz I don’t have enough power to sustain on composing long write-ups, my purpose is to share my photographs from different places in the since I'm always traveling. Sharing my itineraries and tips on how to save, in short I am a budgetarian traveler :).


I don’t have any mentor to ask for a help but only Mr. Google.com, I started to apply my basic knowledge and I keep on learning everyday. Though I called to myself that I am a trying hard blogger. Until I decided to purchase my own domain which is advantageous than using a free domain. From that time, I am searching on how to monetize my blog just to pay the renewal of my domain. So I tried different affiliates but no luck, until I got an offer on paid post, I was so happy for that though it’s just a little amount but it’s more than enough on my investment which is the domain name which cost around $12.00. I keep on searching the alternative way to earn more and my target is sustain my monthly bill on my internet connection. So I put some pressure to myself not to deduct from my regular income (fulltime in-house call center employee). And luckily I got it since the paid post company is keep on sending me some task to post on my blog. And not only that, last July 2010 I got a very nice offer that is hard to refuse, an internet marking based in the U.S. offered me to be one of their employees and have a regular salary. At the first 2 months I work it as a part time but it seems like I’m killing myself since I only have 2-3 hours of sleep. At that time I earned big on my part time compared to my fulltime job, so I decided to give up my work and become a fulltime freelancer, so far no regrets and I love my job. Currently I am working as wordpress developer/e-commerce and seo analyst.



To cut the story short, I love doing some internet stuff and my life begun to always connected to internet though I consider myself still a newbie as I keep on learning everyday. I have a college friend named Agnes(empressofdrac.com) and she’s an active member of Cebu Bloggers invited me to join the bloggers gig in Cebu but I feel shy since I cannot compete to their write-ups :( . (inferiority mode)


I joined their facebook fanpage but I don’t bother them even in a single post but I keep on reading their updates. And now I never let pass this opportunity to join Visayas Blogging Summit 2011 since this is hosted in our own city. Thanks for the organizers and sponsors for this great event.
