Blog facts •  Since I started www.pangalaTALK.com in 2009 , my blog has evolved to events management, blogging campaigns and social media management. •  Pangalatalk.com has reached more than 1 million visitors before its first year. •  From hard coding, I migrated all my blogs to Wordpress which is a lot easier to maintain and update than other plahorms. •  I get my clients thru my blogs. •  Now on my 3rd year as a blogger I plan to relaunch my old blog and launch my new blogs to the public as well as my company’s web services. •  I was able to influence, inspire and train new bloggers in Pangasinan

•  Before I became a blogger, I was a journalist and radio broadcaster in Pangasinan, blogging came out as a compe00ve advantage over others who have been in the industry for so long. reinvent myself •  When I decided to as a tradi/onal media prac//oner to an emerging media pioneer in my area in 2009, opportuni/es and oﬀers started to open up and unfold in 2010 un/l now. •  It was only when I created my own niche, my own market, looked for untapped and hungry audience that CLIENTS started to notice and say ‘ VANJ CAN DO THIS well’.

•  FIND YOUR NICHE. FIND THAT ONE THING YOU’RE BEST Advice?  AT. THEN INNOVATE and digiBze . Integrate your passion to what you are doing. If you’ll blog, blog with your heart and soul. Blog hard. Learn more. Learn con/nuously. Be the best in it. HELL BEST. •  When you’re damn best in that single thing you love most doing, all the forces of the universe shall come upon you and success will be like an icing to the cake and like a cherry in the pie. •  You will ﬁnd yourself like my mentor, who started just like most of us, but look at her and her achievements, her posiBon in the digital industry now.
