Thank you 2011!

Indeed 2011 was a year of ups and downs both locally and internationally. It's been a great year for me and my site and you guys know that right? I'd like to thank this bit to thank a couple of people who made my 2011 great.

Thanks to all my blog friends, I probably shouldn't mention you one by one because you are too many! But you know who you are... and to my hater na blogger din, magbago ka na dahil alam ko kung sino ka! hahahah :P

UBLOG Family, thanks for the Iloilo trip. Thank you also to the wonderful times together! (Namamaalam?! LOL!)

To the peeps over at Pinoy Bloggers, thanks for keeping it professional and letting me be sometimes headache free hahaha!

To my sponsors, great PR companies, brands who made it possible for me attend their events, thank you so much for everything! Without you I wouldn't be inspired to write, meet people and have a wonderful time outside my work.

To the supporters of ABS CBN and the celebrities I love... of course MELASON and their millions of friends; (I don't wanna call them fans coz they treat them like family) I wanna thank you so much for the overwhelming support I get when I write about them! Thank you for being so nice! (You know who you are!) and please let me do Philippine Fashion Week every year! :) Coz you made my article number 1!!!!

Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales, for making me believe that there are real people behind those good looking faces. I really love you two. Thank you for being so nice to me and recognizing me even if you are so busy with other people in press conferences/shows. (Ambait sobra!)

Thank you also to Rocco Nacino and Kris Bernal, you know you are the only guys I support there in the other station. Even if I was offended by a show's production and the people over there, you made me understand that there are nice genuine ones like you. Thanks for being good friends.

Thanks to my Sensei in Fashion Photography Xander Angeles and Boss Niko Villegas of Edge of Light Studios and The Fashion Academy/Elite Manila. You made me see light in a different way.

And to you dear readers, and non readers that only get photos from my site (baka gusto nyo nang magbago LOL) thank you so much! You have made my 2011 worthwhile and I hope that things will get even better this 2012!

Thank you to everyone who made KUMAGCOW.COM what it is today. Thank you to everyone who loves me the way that I do you! =)

Blog Marketing

There are already a lot of things that are overtaking the lead of television as an advetising medium. Internet has become one of the best ways to reach an audience. Advertising on blogs is a big phenomenon. Prices of blog advertising space are somewhat dependent on the surrounding web content and relevance of the traffic that the blog receives. Linking up to some websites are needed to make them more visible in the World Wide Web. This is a good tool when you want to be listed with most search engines and want to be identified each time a consumer needs something off the Internet.

Companies started to place images or corporate logos on the side their websites to boost sales and visibility as a marketing strategy. Internationally this has been proven an effective way of getting known in a pool where millions of people spend hours of their time each day. Effectiveness of subliminal advertising and the persuasiveness propaganda is still questionable but it does bring results. If you trust a reputable company that would be able to bring results in advertising then you would not have and problems with marketing your products.

A new form of advertising that is growing rapidly is blog advertising. In this form of online advertising, linking up with a sponsor is done. It has shown a lot of promises as advertisers are able to take advantage of the demographic information and metrics for a specific site. This is also more effective than unpaid advertising or merely spreading by word of mouth. It can provide good exposure at minimal cost but the audience would be severely limited. Personal recommendations through positive reviews, spreading information like what I usually do achieves equating a brand with products. This is why companies advertise on blogs. Filipinos call toothpaste "Colgate" here. When people need fast food they never say buy me a hamburger. They usually tell other folks to buy them "Jollibee" instead. This is normal and is somewhat the goal of advertising. This is sometimes good, sometimes bad for blog marketing. There are specific requirements you can only do for an advertiser to be able to get paid. Payingpost.com is one website you can go to get the best deals advertisers can give you. Give it a try now and get the most out of your online time and spot in cyberspace. I highly recommend it if you want to make money blogging.
