“What’s one of the yet undiscovered secret things to do When In Manila?

Ride a jeepney and get to know the jeepney drivers.

Last September, When in Manila held a contest and up for grabs were scholarships to Anton Diaz’s Maven Secrets Professional Blogging and Internet Marketing Class. To qualify, one simply had to write about what they love about Manila and I decided to write about my commuting to and from university everyday and in the process getting to see for myself the kindness and humility of jeepney drivers. The essay won me a full scholarship to the Maven Secrets class. The 90 day class gave me all the practical and theoretical knowledge of how to use the internet as a tool to build a brand for myself on-line which was a whole new way for me to see the internet plus I made a whole bunch of new friends of like-minded individuals who want to monetize their passions. And well, gave me another reason to be thankful to our jeepney drivers.”

“I’ve been blogging for what seems like forever, maintaining several blogs and always finding myself in the process of starting and then stopping. It wasn’t until I attended Anton Diaz’s Maven Secrets class that I got a clear handle on my “Maven persona” and on the one advocacy that I can find myself blogging about all day. Thanks to Maven Secrets, I have now been able to crystallize my vision for my blog and am slowly but surely getting to my blogging goals. (The next step: monetization!)

I strongly recommend this class to anyone who wants to understand the blogging philosophy and why and how blogging can be used to build a brand and a community. Anton’s hands-on mentoring style will be very useful even to the novice blogger who’s just getting started on blogging. The Maven Secrets community is also a great motivator for people who are serious about achieving their blogging goals. I’d rate this a 12–on a scale of 1 to 10. =)”

“The day I made that contest entry of mine, I had a good feeling it was the right thing to do! I was one of the lucky winners of the half scholarship to Anton’s Maven Secrets class at the Asian Institute of Managemen. Mind you, the class is not just about blogging and making money off the internet. It’s a whole lot more and I’m sure, like I did, it’ll be a life changing opportunity for you!”
