About

I’m pleased you’re reading this first post of BlogDeManila dot com. Let me first tell you what this blog or website is not. This is not a news blog about Manila (capital of the Philippines), although I won’t constraint myself not to write anything about the beauty of The Philippines where I live, and it’s beautiful and friendly people specially the bloggers.  And finally, nor  this blog is for ““get rich quick”. I think there are too many blogs about making money from bloggers who aren’t actually making money.

BlogDeManila mission is to help people start and grow their their online businesses. And that’s why I’m here: Every post of BlogDeManila will tell you how to be smarter, savvier and altogether better  blogger/webpreneur. Sure, I’ll cover technology, but I’ll do more than just review it. I’ll show you how tech not only makes you a more productive and efficient blog, website, online business owner but how it saves you time, money and energy as well.

Lot’s of people think it’s oh-so-easy to be an online entreprenuer or a blogger. I know better. And I’m not going to pretend that having a brick and mortar business is the same as operating an online presence. It’s not. In the spirit of full disclosure, I confess I’m an online business failure. It seems like a million years ago that I discovered I didn’t have the disciple and couldn’t handle the isolation that tends to come with online business. So I know how hard it really is.

Luckily, I’ve learned a lot from my mine and other people’s experienced. I will not only tell you about online business but together we will live it.

As I said, I know how difficult it is to grow a business online and be a blogger. So I’m here to make it easier for you. Let me know what you do and don’t like about BlogDeManila. And tell me what you need. Now that I’m here, you should know that, while you may indeed be a striving blogger or starting to think to have a online presene for your business, you are definitely not alone. BlogDeManila is here, at your service!

    Hi Eric!

    Thank you for the kind words. In short, this is how I understood about your blog.

    Admittedly an online business failure,
    never was an enchanting and desirable lure.

    To help people start and grow business ventures,
    even when faced with huge brick wall – unsure.

    What do you need to trample on these challenges?
    Predicaments evolve to be used in out advantage.

    Embrace technology and other advancing changes,
    together we can conquer and bathe in success.

    Hi Eric!

    I already created my URL in Blogger for my new blog (before I end up forgetting the URL I have in mind) and now I have several questions. Like can I also use the Adsense account in my first blog to my new blog, can I import my Blogger account to a hosting domain when I’m all settled, etc. etc.

    E-mail me?
    mara_dguzman@yahoo.com

    Thank you much!

    Mara :)

    Kuya Eric,

    May tanong ako. Paano sa Adgitize, isang account lang tapos dalawang blogs? Edi iisa lang earnings ko dun? Ganon?


    • Comment by eric |

      Hello Ate Mara,

      Yes, you only need one account in Adgitize. From the “Manage Blogs” tab, you add blogs as many as you want.

      One earnings??? hmmm..not exactly, you have the chance to increase your points (page views and ad views points) if you have multiple blogs. Currently, I have 4 active blogs in Adgitize to maximize the points I can earn.

      By the way, I just received $33.89 USD today from Adgitize.

    Eric, can you please remove my comment at – http://www.blogdemanila.com/10-easy-to-follow-videos-showing-you-how-to-create-your-blog-from-scratch/#comment-2645
    I don’t want a link to my site to be active there.
    TIA, Wyjazdy

    Eric, I have the same question as wyjazdy.
    My comment at http://www.blogdemanila.com/entrecard-has-been-sold/#comment-2979 needs to have link deleted. It’s all due to google changes – too many foreign links make search engines think I have site in English.

    I landed on your site while researching about spam. I have read the article above (“About”), and I am not sure whether you are aware that the content of the 1st and 1st half of the 2nd paragraph are the same with the the 2nd half of the 2nd paragraph and the 3rd one. Maybe it would be good to make some corrections as this is a form of spamming in an indirect way. If it’s not your intention, it’s not too late to edit it. You have a great site, so don’t let this one crumble its reputation.
