Why do I want to become a Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur?

[Source: http://janettetoral.tumblr.com/] 

This is my entry for DigitalFilipino.com's Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur Program contest.

As a young professional who would like to pursue a career in Marketing, I believe that being a Blog & Social Media Entrepreneur shall help me immensely in becoming a successful Marketing practitioner someday. I believe that blogs and other social media platforms will be the mainstream marketing channel of the future- and there is just no excuse for me not to get familiar with these new forms of media.

It is great to know that through non-traditional forms of media more and more people are given the opportunity to be heard and become influential in their own respect. Every day, we see statements, pictures and videos that move our hearts and change our thinking. More often than not, these statements, pictures and videos are just shared to us by ordinary people like us- our friends.

In a world where power and influence seems to be limited to just a chosen few, I believe that giving more and more people the chance to become an opinion leader or a “change maker” can already be called a big step forward towards creating social progress. Looking ahead, being a Blog & Social Media Entrepreneur will not just give me the opportunity to take the “front seat” as I watch more of those positive changes unfold- brought about by this social progress.

As a Blog & Social Media Entrepreneur, it will also allow me to actively partake in bringing forth those positive changes.

My Roomorama Experience

Lucky. A few months ago, I received a lucky Email from Roomarama.com asking me to write a review about the website in exchange of a $100-worth of GC that I can use anytime, anywhere. I was a fan of the service even before I got that lucky Email. Basically Roomarama.com is an online portal for travelers who are looking for more affordable apartments and condominium units to stay in during their travels. Indeed, gone are the days when we are just limited to very expensive hotels for our short-term stays abroad. Now, we have a list of apartments and condominium units (in a more affordable price and a more convenient online booking via Roomarama.com) that is being offered by locals from anywhere in the world.
