WEBCAMP Internet Business Super Conference!

Last Wednesday, we attended the very first Webcamp internet business super conference at RCBC Plaza in Makati sponsored by Learning Curve.  There were supposedly four speakers but we ended up with more than that sans Mr. Chris Ducker.

The aim of the seminar is to equip would be web-preneurs on the different options of how to start and grow an online business.  Let me tell you what each of the speakers had to say and maybe you could pick out some ideas.

My goal here is to make you aware that these seminars are out there and if you are really serious in going for an online business, then go grab a seat !  Just make sure to get the early bird rates.

Here are the four speakers. Unfortunately, Mr Chris Ducker couldn't make it.  I really wanted to learn about his virtual outsourcing.  Nevertheless, all the other speakers were very informative and are truly experts in their chosen internet biz.

Ms Eireen Diokno-Bernardo is an ecommerce expert running several online stores and selling different products.  Her story began when her husband used up his retirement pay to buy a truckload of vintage soda bottles which he sold online for a profit.  Eireen followed suit.
Eireen is a giggly person and there was not a dull moment during her presentation.  She has an upcoming seminar called  E-commerce 102.  Check out the website.

Mr Jojy Azurin is an expert in membership sites.  He created Businesssummaries.com , an online executive book summary service.  That became very successful.  After his talk,  I realized that membership sites could be very profitable and not so hard to maintain.  Jojy always referred to internet business as like building a  money tree.

Mr Ian del Carmen is an expert in internet marketing.  He has humble beginnings but was able to get to the top.  How did he do it ? He worked his way selling digital products and through affiliate marketing.  He got so successful in internet marketing that he has a certification for it.  Lesson he taught me is that there is no more excuse for not reaching your dreams of becoming successful in internet marketing.

Rich Dad Asia also graced the occasion.  They have a congress to be held in Manila in 2013.




Watch out for some latest updates from Learning Curve.
Enjoy!

BGC Passionfest weekend!


My family had  nice walk, talk, play and eat at the Passionfest at Bonifacio Global City (BGC).  There were giant game installations, a picnic area , mobile concerts and more.



BGC is a place where families could unwind and walk with their dogs.  We don't have a dog yet to walk but we love going to the place to see different kinds of breeder dogs.


Some of the booths and stores we visited :

There was  the PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society) which rescues dogs and rehabilitate them both on the physical and behavioral side.  They had a free photo booth where they ask only for voluntary donations.


Sperry Topsiders was also on opening sale at 20% off.

Lego land had a big display.  There were game booths for playing I think you'd have to have tickets to join.
There's a big game installed also  - what's the name of this game? (I forget)



There's also the BGC Hop On-Hop Off Bus tour where you could explore around the BGC area/

The BGC Passionfest is running until tomorrow, Nov 25 so you still have time to catch it.


Don't forget to see the giant outdoor movie with schedules as follows :
          Toy story 6 pm/ Finding Nemo 8pm/ The Avengers 10pm

Enjoy !

Indoor Wall Climbing at Market! Market!

This is first time I've seen wall climbing of this scale inside a mall.  It is about 44 ft high.  When I saw this at Market!Market! I just to stay a while and see the climbers do it with ease.  It makes you think that it is as easy as A-B-C but hhmm I just have to  think again.

Camp Sandugo offers indoor wall climbing at Market!Market! for beginners, enthusiasts and thrill seekers.  It's at P50 for a single climb and P340 for unlimited climb with an instructor. It's less P200 if you don't need the belay assistant.  They also have a store there where you could find a lot of adventure packs. 

It's probably a great stress reliever too..







Of course there are rules to follow just like any sports activity

Enjoy !
