Vanj D.Padilla From  Blogger  to  CEO  of  

1Digitech  Philippines  Inc.  –  a  digital  and  social  media  agency  

Vanj’s  blogs  

Blog  facts  •  Since    I  started  www.pangalaTALK.com  in  2009  ,  my  blog  has  evolved  to  

events  management,  blogging  campaigns  and  social  media  management.  

•  Pangalatalk.com has reached more than 1 million visitors before its first

year. •  From  hard  coding,  I  migrated  all  my  blogs  to  Wordpress  which  is  a  lot  easier  

to  maintain  and  update  than  other  plahorms.  

•  I get my clients thru my blogs. •  Now  on  my  3rd  year  as  a  blogger  I  plan    to  relaunch  my  old  blog  and  launch  

my  new  blogs  to  the  public  as  well  as  my  company’s  web  services.  

•  I was able to influence, inspire and train new bloggers in

Pangasinan

•  Before  I  became  a  blogger,  I  was  a  journalist  and  radio  broadcaster  in  Pangasinan,  blogging  came  out  as  a  compe00ve  advantage  over  others  who  have  been  in  the  industry  for  so  long.    

•  When  I  decided  to  reinvent myself  as  a  tradi/onal  media  prac//oner  to  an  emerging  media  pioneer  in  my  area  in  2009,  opportuni/es  

and  offers  started  to  open  up  and  unfold  in  2010  un/l  now.    

•  It was only when I created my own niche, my own market, looked for untapped and hungry audience

that CLIENTS started to notice and say ‘ VANJ CAN DO THIS well’.

Advice?     •  FIND  YOUR  NICHE.  FIND  THAT  ONE  THING  YOU’RE  BEST  AT.  THEN  INNOVATE  and  digiBze  .  Integrate  your  passion  to  what  you  are  doing.  If  you’ll  blog,  blog  with  your  heart  and  soul.  Blog  hard.  Learn  more.  Learn  con/nuously.  Be  the  best  in  it.  HELL  

BEST.    

•  When you’re damn best in that single thing you love

most doing, all the forces of the universe shall come

upon you and success will be like an icing to the cake and

like a cherry in the pie. •  You  will  find  yourself  like  my  mentor,  who  started  just  

like  most  of  us,  but  look  at  her  and  her  achievements,  her  posiBon  in  the  digital  industry  now.
