Looking Forward For Social Media Influencers Summit

It has been awhile since I attended a summit or a gathering of fellow bloggers and social media practitioners. So when I learned about Social Media Influencers Summit that will be happening in Cebu, I got interested and tought of joining. Was even more hype up when the organizers sent me an invitation to attend the event. This could also be a chance to visit some friends who's in Cebu. (Wooohoo!)

Social Media Influencers Summit will be March 16, 2013 at JCenter Convention Center of JCenterMall at Mandaue City, Cebu. There are around 300 social media influencers and users expected to attend th event.

The summit’s theme is the summation of two words: “Trending” + “Forward”
“Trending” means “the general direction in which something tends to move.” Each individual or company may have separate goals, but the ultimate goal of any “Social Media Influencer” is to create a buzz for its cause to make it appear on the “trending” topics of the social media networks.
“Forward” is being used to depict the innovation/presentation that each social media influencers should do to reach and influence the target audience. Buzz is not created by all. It is practiced by those who had mastered it. And this craft is fast changing with the dynamic preference and attitudes of the social media users.

Aside from the summit there were activities set before and after.

What Im looking forward on the event?

I am looking forward on hearing our very own CDObloggers President Vic Marion Madriaga, who will be talking about Social Media Success Story for Advocacy. His one reason I want to attend the event because I want to give my support.

Much more than that I am also interested to listen to the speakers since they will be tackling interesting topics on Social Media and its impacts. Here are the speakers and their topics:

• Maria A. Ressa - Social Media Influencers Summit 2013 Keynote Speaker


• Vic Marion Madriaga - Social Media Success Story for Advocacy


• Maria Irene Aserios - Impact of Social Media Influencers in national and Local Politics

• Janette Toral - Am I a Social Media Influencer


• Fitz Gerard Villafuerte - Maximizing the use of Social Media for your Business


• Lisa Marie Mirasol - Social Media for advocacy Success Story: One for Iliganof Iligan Bloggers Society

With this line up of speakers I would surely looking forward to go home with lots of inspiring stories on being a social media influencer and also how to be an effective social media influencer.

I cant wait for March 16, 2013!

Mobile Blogging Via My iPhone 3gs

Hey readers! Im blogging right now via my iPhone 3Gs... Its nothing new actually coz I used to blog via my iPhone before. I just didn't get to share my experiences mobile blogging via iPhone 3Gs however I did shared my first ever experienced with my first smart phone Samsung S5230W Star WiFi.
So what is it I'm going to share now? Well, I just recently migrated Emoteragoddess.com to Wordpress and this is the first time I'm using the Wordpress mobile app. I've downloaded this app for awhile already but I just use it now. ^_^ Its very convenient actually so as long you have an internet connection you can publish a blog post. I will surely be using this more often now that my personal blog already in Wordpress. Back then I've usually utilized my Blogger app in updating this blog where it was freely hosted before. I will just make a separate post on my blogging experienced with Blogger app.
Here is the snapshots I got when you access your self hosted blog via mobile.



Now here's a snapshots when I started blogging. You can see above the options cancel and publish. Next are the title, tags and categories. Options below on it is the write, settings, preview attachments, videos and image. Tap the screen below categories and now you can start blogging.


Selecting the categories in your blog...



Lets go to uploading photos...


Now this is how it looks when you finish uploading the pictures... Html code. Be sure you dont any letter or delete anything from to the /a> coz it will be the reason your image wont display.

After adding photos you can now preview and publish your post!


Have you tried blogging through your mobile? What smart phone are you using? Will looking forward to hear your experience too! :)

Unexpected Blessing

Just a few minutes ago I opened my Yahoomail to recover a password of my Twitter account. I rarely checked this email, only times like this that I need to log to recover/change a password on the social networks that is associated with this account. So since Im already log-in after the verification process in Twitter, I go on and checked emails one-by-one and delete those are not important. As I progress reading through and deleting 1 email caught my full attention and I actually read it a few times before I went checked my other Paypal account. I received a payment on one of the affiliate websites I sign-up before. I never really give much attention to it and after installing the banner on one of my blog (of which I rarely update) I just left it and never monitored. Imagine my surprise receiving an amount of which is really a big help for me now since boss has not sent salary yet. And I had so many bills waiting for me to pay. Wheew!
God indeed never leaves me alone. He never fails to remind me to be patient with everything, to always hope for the best and to be always thankful of what I have right now. Surprises will come on the right time... in the right place, just like today! :)
Thank you God! I was so surprised that I got so emotional. I am amazed at God's grace even if this isn't the first time that He has helped and blessed me specially in times when I want to break down.

I was listening to my Emotera Playlist in Youtube that on a perfect timing the song "I Know You're Not Alone" by Sweetbox played. 

30 Day Blog Challenge: DAY 1 - The Samaritan Blogger

Im supposed to spent my day today catching up with my backlogs but I remember I need to finish the designs on my fellow CDOBloggers blog themes. Basically what I do is hunt a theme for their blog, install, customize and often I design a logo also.
I have actually started working on this yesterday but I din't get to finish because we had out March monthly Meet-up. And so here's what I did...

IBlogUCDO.com is own by Mommy Dharlz. I changed the theme and added Labels since she didn't put any labels on her post. This labels are important  for categorizing your post of which I did in this blog. I specifically place a category on the navigation menu for readers to easily check on the specific things they want to read on her blog. As you can see the featured post slider ain't finished. I leave it to her to personalized but I did send her instructions on how to change it. I'm excited also to see what she come up. :)

Teacher Roxanne's blog TheKagayanon.com is the next one I did for finishing. Yesterday, I bought the domain, import-export her posts from Wordpress to Blogger. Why I choose Blogger? Simply because they offer free hosting and Roxanne dont want to invest for a hosting yet. She just paid me for buying the domain... So today what I did is finalized the theme layout then design and add her header logo and banner ads. And here's how it look... tadddaa!

This 2 blogs are not the only ones I helped in setting-up, personalize and installed as ads ready theme. I have also worked on 3 other blogs before. Yeah! That's how generous and helpful I am... But honestly, after today I realized I should charge a fee on the next one. :D I mean not necessarily big just enough maybe to reward my appetite who has full of cravings. lol

Anyways, last year I helped Macky on his MyMindanaoLifestyle.blogspot.com too... And I have teach him some basic how--to's on his blog as well as how to have more visitor on his blog.

Then just early this year I'v worked on Vic's Vicmadz.com and design his logo.  ;)

As well as Jacqs' CagayanDeOro.info... This one is in Wordpress so I also installed must-have plug-ins for her. The name of her blog before is Cagayan de Oro but I change it to CDO Info Guide which I think is more nice. Watchatink?

Thanks to Btemplates.com for all the blogger themes and Fabthemes.com for the Wordpress theme.
For those who also wants my services on your blogs and websites just message me through my contact page. ;)

My Own 30 Day Blog Challenge

I've read a fellow CDOBloggers blog about her 30 day blog challenge and she is currently on her 1st day. After reading her first day post I thought to myself why not do a 30 day blog challenge to myself also to motivate myself. You see I've been having a lot of backlogs since last year and until now I haven't recovered yet. I thought time will come ill be back on track but as time goes by its becoming worst. There has been a lot of things to blog and share but still I cant find the words to say. So this time Im taking action. I'll start my own blog challenge too.
I will blog every day about things I did for the day. And since today is April 1st, its a perfect time to start my 30 Day Blog Challenge. Hopefully this will be effective and would bring back my enthusiasm in blogging.

Goodluck to myself!

Page Rank Level Up!

Thank you so much to my followers and readers in both my CDO Guide blog and Live.Laugh.Love personal blog. Both turns PR 3 today.

Rest assured I will continue providing quality post that not only share my everyday existence but also something that my readers will learn and get updates about Cagayan de Oro and more.

For those who are not familiar with PageRank, heres how Google describes it:

PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.
