Despite the numerous projects that I’ve worked on, there is a pattern to all this chaos and this has always been my focus since. A few things stuck out and one is blogging (or writing as others would prefer to call it). My passion to share knowledge to those who care to listen has always been there from the start. I’ve been very fortunate to have been given the chance to do so through this medium.

With this being said, I’d like to take this opportunity to share what I’ve done in the past and projects that I’m working on. Probably a little bit of history would be good too.

Humble History

It was 2002 when I first tried writing about my life online. The blogosphere was scarce and there were only a couple of platforms being offered. LiveJournal was my first home but eventually moved to Blogger. After a few years, I found Squarespace and this is when I decided to move to the next level and talk about my professional life at Call Center Blurbs and closed my Blogger posts to the public.

My first stint as a professional blogger was when Know More Media’s COO offered me a job to contribute to one of their blogs within their network - Call Center Script. I gave it a shot and this is where I got formally trained, met a lot of great writers and learned the business perspective of running a blog network. Despite the stressful lifestyle in the BPO industry, I wrote in the weekends and earned extra money. I even tried contributing to BizToolBelt, but my schedule didn’t quite fit in. Unfortunately, the KMM team had to part ways due to financial reasons.

My Projects Today

Fast forward to today, I’ve started and revamped niche’ blogs as a medium for me to continue sharing my knowledge. WordPress is my platform of choice and have been using it since.

Call Center Blurbs still exists and when KMM ceased operations, some of my readers moved here. I’m thinking of how to continue on and provide more content to my readers.

I’ve always been an advocate of providing excellent customer service and Philippine Customer Service serves that purpose. I have so much content in my so called “writing den” that hasn’t been published yet. I’ve invited Paolo Reyes to be my co-blogger in the site, being someone who shares the same passion I have to elevate service in the country.

A Throb of Knowledge has been a hodgepodge of topics and was more of a placeholder for posts that don’t fit in any of my blogs. Originally called Knowledge Pulse, it was supposed to be focused on things I learn and discuss my new and shiny toy discoveries.

Philippine Webinars was born out of the need to connect it to my business. The world of webinars specifically for the local market.

One would think it would end there but I’ve just started a new one called Social Games Broadcast, a video blog site that showcases social games from different developers. I’m currently in the midst of adding more content but I’m seeing a lot of traffic already. This was born out of my experience from my current writing career within the gaming industry.

With so many blogs, managing my business, and planning to launch other projects (yes, there are more but not blogs), I am only one person. I’ve been branded as a “super woman” but we all know that super heroes need help from friends too. If you’d like to join in the fun, you know where to find me.

My first blog carnival starts within my call center blogosphere.  The Call Center Blurbs Blog Carnival will showcase blog articles written by call center professionals.  I was thinking if I should focus on one location but like any magazine, an issue can have a theme or focus.  I could have a Philippine Call Centers edition or probably a Humor / Comics edition.  The possibilities are endless.

As of this writing, I’m seriously considering another blog carnival focused on my other blogs.  The only hesitation comes from the fact that I don’t know if I have the time to maintain several carnivals.  Oh, and well it depends on how receptive my readers are on submitting their articles.

Join me in this experiment! Create your own blog carnival or if you have one, do share.

“Better late than never!”, I always said.  With so much enthusiasm I decided to do it full time.  I left my high paying job just to have time to write.

Other than starting my book and hope to publish it someday, I focused my energies in blogging.  I started 3 years ago with 2 private blogs, created Call Center Blurbs, got discovered and was invited to write as a paid blogger for Call Center Script.  Now, I’ve created several more apart from this personal blog.

I decided to continue writing at Call Center Blurbs when Know More Media ceased their operations last August.  Decided to start a new one called Knowledge Pulse, which talked about gaining knowledge and enhancement of skills within the professional arena.  With the recent venture on entrepreneurship, I also write in Philippine Webinars, promoting the webinar and virtual events industry within the Philippine space.  The latest is Philippine Customer Service, which discusses about the state of customer service within the country, hoping to elevate its standards for better business and personal experiences.

It is going to be difficult to keep content fresh in each of the blogs but I know I just need to pace myself.  By creating structure and scheduling posts for each blog will help.  I’ve always been the organized freak anyway, so I might as well use it.

Do visit some or all of the blogs.  You might just like one that suits your taste.
