World-renowned Visayan Internet Marketing Expert Shares Wealth Secrets and Economic Recovery Projects to Cebuanos

Globally-distinguished Internet entrepreneur from Leyte will hold a press conference in Cebu on the first week of February to discuss upcoming seminar and projects

Cebu City, Cebu, Jan 31, 2009 – Joel Christopher Remandaban, an internationally-acclaimed Filipino Internet marketer, speaker, trainer and Amazon best-selling author will hold a press conference in Cafe Laguna, SM Cebu on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 at 11:30AM. He will discuss his upcoming seminar in Manila and will make himself available to those who want to ask questions before signing up. He will also talk about opportunities being offered at MasterListBuilder Philippines – his Internet Marketing outsourcing company; as well as the launch of IM4Pinoy.com – the new social networking website for Filipinos who are interested in becoming world class Internet marketers and entrepreneurs.

Joel – a Visayan who hails from Tabango, Leyte – has been tremendously successful in opt-in list building, which is imperative in earning sizable income from the Internet. He has unlocked its secrets and tripled his list to over 30,903 names in only 99 days, a milestone that has earned him brands like “Master List Builder” and “List Building King” – titles bestowed upon him by the most notable personalities in Internet marketing.

Jay Conrad Levinson, Father Of Guerrilla Marketing says, “Ask anyone this question: ‘Who is the best in list building on the Internet?’ The answer: Joel Christopher.” Ted Nicholas, The Godfather of Direct Marketing, meanwhile, attests, “Joel has built one of the largest opt-in lists in a remarkably short time and is a terrific trainer who works hard, and is a person of integrity.”

Joel has grown his opt-in list to more than 153,000 newsletter subscribers in as short as three years – truly unprecedented! Even those who came before him, who were already at the cutting-edge in list-building, still learned a lot from his coaching sessions and warranted that his methods do work and are, indeed, revolutionary.

Here’s what Ryan Deiss of OptInAutomator.com has to say: “I consider myself to be fairly advanced in the area of list-building and opt-in marketing, but I still found myself taking HUGE amounts of notes, all the while thinking, ‘Why didn’t I ever think of that?!’”

Now – Joel, a concerned social entrepreneur, is out to share his milestone to none other than his fellow Filipinos through projects that may help them improve their lives.

First, he will provide hands-on training to the attendees of his seminar entitled, “How To Find A Lucrative Job or Career and Make Money Online,” which will be held at the UST Auditorium in Manila on February 14, 2009. Second, he established MasterListBuilder Philippines – an online outsourcing firm that seeks to provide job and business opportunities for Filipinos who prefer to earn income while contributing to the Philippine economy instead of leaving the country as an overseas Filipino worker (OFW). Third, he helped launch IM4Pinoy.com – a social networking site that aims to empower budding and veteran Pinoy Internet entrepreneurs by providing a venue for interaction and exchange of knowledge and ideas.. Through these initial undertakings, Joel hopes to create a constructive impact to his “kababayans” and awaken their passion for self-employment because of the time flexibility and financial independence that it offers.

Career changes just might be a good thing

Written on Jan. 30, 2009 [evening] – I was supposed to post this but I fell asleep.

I just spent a whole week at Parole School. So far, so good. I managed to stay alive and a bit alert. Hopefully, I will be able to reach my top most potential to the work demands. At least our German instructor has assured us that our progress is okay so far. He does not expect that we would automatically be the best PowerBuilder programmers after a little more than a week of training.

Obviously, all of you must be waiting for my thoughts about my life there. Suffice it to say, tonight is my first free Friday since I stepped out of college. Amazing. I feel so great and I feel so free. It’s like I can do so many things with my time now. However, as much as I would like to work on all those sidelines that are pending to be done, I cannot help but try to just breathe for once. LOL

As what Ehn told me, somehow she reckons that I no longer know what to do with my free time. She just might be right. More importantly, I think that for my first week, I have learned to at least take it easy. Honestly, I just feel so free. This freedom extends to my appearance, apparently, since this week I could not stop smiling. Even as I walk around Silliman University, I kept smiling to myself with that extra *oomph!* in my step. That is a good thing, right?

So far, however, I do not have any pay yet. That is perhaps my biggest problem. However, I learned that we would get some sort of “allowance” during our time for training. Which is really so cool! It made me extremely happy so much so that I felt so excited as I received my allowance today!

I wanted to take a picture of me and my first PAY as a programmer, but like I said, I do not have a camera. Nevertheless, I was so happy – even happier and more excited than when I received my first pay from camp minus prison. LOL Incidentally, my pay is a bit bigger than our first pay at camp minus prison, which was below Php. 500.00.

Now then, the pay will always be a challenge, but with any luck, I’ll cope. Dare I say, I will update you next time? For now, I shall enjoy my first weekend that is not a HOLIDAY!

Personality through your Desktop Wallpaper

I find wallpapers of people’s computers interesting. I believe that their personality is often reflected when it comes to their choices of wallpaper. I, for one, am a bit of an obsessive with my wallpaper. D often comments if my choices of wallpapers are tasteful or not, but often we find the same ones quite attractive.

Normally, this would not be a big deal for me – not that I change my wallpaper frequently… Okay, maybe I do. Nevertheless, I think my choices are right around the same theme or something like that. All by preference and not through my diagnosed obsessive-compulsive disorder. Yesterday a new friend / colleague who we shall call F of 2 commented on my desktop wallpaper. He said that he noticed I preferred abstract designs compared to their scenery. I usually have a figure or or something on my wallpaper, but sometimes I go for the scenery, too.

Yesterday got me observing those who brought their personal laptops to work. Another new friend, who we shall call Niv, has animated wallpapers of games like Assassin’s Creed and stuff like that. A female, who is training with us, has Bella of Twilight for her wallpaper. Interesting, right? So I researched online if there was such a thing as personalities reflected through wallpapers. What did I find out? (more…)

Where in the world is Lurchie?

For the past few days, both the online and offline world has been looking for me. It made me smile, really. I do not take pleasure in making others’ emotions range from worry to panic, from fear to concern. My apologies to those who have been looking for me, and thank you for your concern.

I’m quite fine, really. I was just going through some things that have proven to be phenomenally life changing. Okay, obviously, this pertains to the previous post for approximately 75%. Yes folks, I have decided to go for what I want and accept the job offered by GTZ. The pay is definitely low.. think almost 50% pay cut from camp minus prison, yet so far I find myself immensely happy and worry free. Can stress be worth that money?

Although I know that somehow I may end up stressing about where to find money, I somehow have this feeling that everything is gonna be alright. I am praying that I can still find some decent source of cash to help me support my family and at the same time go for the job that ultimately gives me the building blocks for career progress that I desperately need.

Everything truly went at the speed of light. It all started with the handing over of the letter on Friday plus impromptu interview, then off to the seminar to see whether or not I still have it in me, next thing I know, I am handing in my resignation papers right after attending the training. The following day, I find myself on the road to a last day of my SPied life.

Ladies and gentlemen, a jail break has just happened, and I guess it was ME who got to  leave this time. Somebody else is dusting off her underground maps and getting ready to follow suit, but that is another story.

For now, this is a confirmation that in essence, I am free – as free as I can totally be. More challenges are coming my way especially with the huge pay cut. Worried? In a way, I am, but I am definitely happier. It feels like a knife was taken out of my back. The sad part, I guess, is that when the knife was taken out, my heart felt a bit hallow and alone. I will truly miss my friends, but I know that they are always around – reading my blogs – and catching up with my latest endeavors.

Good bye camp minus prison! Hello Parole School!

Randomness in my If… then… else world

How do you view your world? I go by the simple logic of applying “if… then… else…”. You don’t get the idea? Oh well, in a certain sense part of me is still a programmer and all that jazz.

Yesterday was a great opportunity for me. I finally gathered the courage to submit my resume to GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit) which happened to somewhat integrate with our provincial government. Don’t ask me, I just read about them over the Internet. What happened was that a friend of mine sent a message over YM informing me that they were looking for programmers, and that he thought I could do the job.

Sure, you could say I was worried, wary, and nervous. I knew the specifications of the job – as well as the pay – and you could say that this was a case of DREAM versus REALITY. What do I mean about DREAM versus REALITY?

DREAM, because it has always been this great dream of mine to be a programmer. It was something that I simply loved to do. Okay, so I was no whiz kid at it, but I think that compared to some, I could do better.

REALITY, because the dream job pays me a lot below my current salary. Given that I have two kids to raise and a home to run, jumping ship for the sake of pursuing my dream is not exactly an easy feat. Sure, I could do so at a blink of an eye if I really wanted to. But like what I said, going down that drop with the change of salary may give me more headaches than what camp minus prison can give me.
