iBlog7 Philippine Blogging Summit

You are all invited to iBlog7, the 7th Philippine Blogging Summit on April 1 and 2, 2011 at the Malcolm Theater, UP College of Law, Diliman, Quezon City.

This free blogging conference will be useful to businesses who want to better understand how blogging and marketing on the internet can help them increase their sales, connect with more clients and customers, and strengthen ties or even open joint venture opportunities with future partners.

Gone are the days when blogging was something as simple as an online journal, where bloggers share their day with their online friends. Today, it's not just about being "famous" online; it's also about ROI and making it worth your time.

What will be covered in the free 2-day iBlog7 event? You'll learn about SEO and blogging basics, and you'll also hear stories of how bloggers got started and eventually achieved success through their online efforts.

Wait. Stop.

If you're focused on the business side of things, heed this advice: Don't be a blogger; be a marketer.

Somehow, when some people in the corporate world think about "blogging" or "bloggers" they tend to assume it's only about sharing personal stories. Yet when you reposition things and present blogging as "marketing", then everything changes.

Yes, this applies even if you're not a Top 1000 corporation. Even if you are starting your own home-based online business after getting inspired by a blogging conference, you need to assess things from a marketing standpoint.

Please note that I'm not talking about Selling. That will come later. For now, think online MARKETING.

Anyway, you'll have a better idea of what I'm talking about when you experience for yourself what I mean when you attend iBlog7: The 7th Philippine Blogging Summit in early April 2011.

And if our paths cross, please don't be shy. Feel free to say hello! and ask your blogging--or better yet-- marketing questions. Who knows? That conversation might spark an exciting idea which will lead you up the road towards passive income, the promotion of your advocacy, or even having more time to spend and enjoy with your loved ones. :-)

Okay. Enough chit chat. Whip out your organizers and mark the dates: April 1 and 2, 2011 - iBlog 7: The 7th Philippine Blogging Summit. Go and register today.
