i’ve been itching about writing a blog on technology topics for over a year. seeing how i recently learned how to install wordpress myself, after writing an obscene amount of expensive checks with 2 zeroes to webmasters, consider this my wordpress experiment.

i love to blog rant, but i love social media & web 2.0 even more. most of my friends can contest that my iphone is practically glued to my hands and i twitter so much that i start adding # in front of things when i write normal daily things like emails or notes.

i know my grammar sucks and i am not a super speller. but hey, i’m from another country and gen y (or cusp of gen x), spelling english is not exactly my generation’s strong suit.

i pretty much fell into teaching and coaching stagers and fellow small biz owners about web 2.0 and social media by accident. i first started my obsession about technology when i started my business. with some time and trials by errors, i figured out how to market cheaply and get clients.

i started my company staged4more when i was 25 with 0 people in my rolodex that had abilities to sell and stage their houses. most of my friends were (and many still are) on the beer and $3 pizza diet. heck, i had friends who delivered pizza.

i recently figured out i cut my operating costs by 68+%  through leveraging free web tools, outsourcing and virtual assistants to market and operate my business. i’ve never looked back!

web 2.0 and social media for me are about fun & experiments. there are no rules. there are no game books. it’s just you in an open road, creating your own path and on making a bunch of awesome friends along the way.

all in all, leveraging tech tools for biz just fascinates me. it’s an obsession really.

oh yeah, i plan #biztechday for fun with my good friend edith, whom i met via internet. i also wrote a designation/course for stagers called eStager, which CSP owns the rights to.

feel free to comment. nicely, of course.

cheers,
