This is my first time to join the third season of influential blogger Janette Toral's writing project. The concept is simple but very appealing. You choose ten influential blogs and post the list in your blog for the entire blogging community (and the world!) to know. You don't only help push the cause of blogging in the Philippines, you also get a chance to win $100 (there will be 10 winners!) in the raffle to be drawn during the announcement of winners. Find out my top 10 emerging influential blog nominees after the jump...
1. Dine Laang. This blog is maintained by my good online friend Itot. He's been into making money online for a few years now but this particular blog of him is quite new. Do not get deceived by the blog's layout as its simplicity and direct approach attract traffic (and money!) like crazy. Blogs like this inspire and influence me to improve my blogging and online money making skills.
2. Reyapot. This blog serves as the online personal journal of Reyapot. I knew her online sometime last year and we've been visiting each other's blog since then. I love the way she writes her posts (sometimes she publishes her own short stories and poems), always full of emotions. Some are happy and some are sad, but definitely, all posts share the same level of zest for life. I guess that's also what other visitors like about her site. She's just being herself and I think that's what gives her blog influence and piques other people's curiosity.
3. Let's Go, Sago! A travel and food blog in nature, Let's Go, Sago! promotes the Philippines through the awesome travel and food adventures of Sago, the blog's mascot. Jonel Uy, the guy behind this blog, is one of my blogger friends. He's very approachable. He's also never seen in any bloggers event without the famous Sago in tow. Definitely, this blogger-mascot tandem is effective which gives the blog influential and global appeal.
4.Style and Relax. Lace Llanora blogs about beauty and fashion in this cool blog. Aside from the fashion tips and the everyday glamour she puts herself into, she also posts her ambush interviews of local women celebrities there where she asks them of their style inspiration and beauty regimen. I met her in one of the bloggers event I attended and she was really nice. From then on, we would occasionally bump into each other during bloggers events. The number of RSS feed subscribers of her blog is proof that this girl is starting to build a huge following.
5. Animetric's World. This blog by a freelance writer and mom named Rowena Wendy Lei covers a wide variety of topics, from family, health, lifestyle and events to everyone's favorite topic, food. There's no doubt this mother of two kids is a multi-tasker that knows how to do serious work and have fun at the same time. The fact that she writes well and I get to chat with her during bloggers events adds to my growing interest in her blog.
6. Good Times Manila. Get shocking news and revelations about popular celebrities and personalities in Manila from the only blog that can wreak social havoc (and uncontrollable laughter!) with just a single post. Good Times Manila is a joke blog that's one of a kind. Deejay, the guy behind the blog, must be a very imaginative and funny person for him to be able to write those satirical posts.
7. The Struggling Blogger. I knew about Kuya Roy through his blog (Letters to Mama) that he solely dedicates to his loving wife who left him and his family to be with the Lord last year. His determination to raise their kids on his own is laudable. Since last year, I've been watching his journey as a father and provider from the sidelines through that blog and this particular blog where he tries to make some money online.
8. Cebu Bloggers. I love Cebu, the history, the food, the sights and the people. I also have several friends based in the Queen City of the South that I get to see whenever I travel to Cebu for pleasure. Perhaps those are the reasons why this blog interests me. Knowing that more and more Cebuanos are blogging makes me feel inspired, somehow. I drop by this blog from time to time to get updated with the latest happenings in Cebu.
9. Patay Gutom. This food blog that uses mouth-watering food photos and equally mouth-watering accounts of food adventures by a pool of "patay gutom" bloggers is already a hit in the blogging community. Their love for food is what binds them together and keeps people like me checking out their blog for updates almost everyday. Keep up the good work, guys!
10. Philippine Freebies, Contests, Promos and MORE!!! I love joining online contests, especially if the topic or product being promoted interests me. I get my daily dose of online contest updates from a guy who calls himself Boy Kuripot. I like it that he provides complete details and links of the online contests as well as the pros and cons of joining them. I don't know him personally this guy is really passionate about what he does and that makes his blog influential to me and I guess, to a lot of people.
