Here are the top 8 lessons I’ve learned from MBS2:

1. Mindanao is “Still” the Land of Promise

Often times, the war in Mindanao is being bloated by media. War, killings and hostilies are being attached to this wonderful land of promise. Little do they know that Mindanao is one of the best places to live in the Philippines. Located in the southern part of the Philippines, Mindanao boasts of its natural landscapes and blooming economy. Bobby captured Mindanao’s beauty behind his lenses.

2. Bloggers Have Great Powers that Come with Great Responsibility

Mindanao bloggers are being challenged by Jester, Walter and Hector to get together and shape Mindanao’s positive identity to the world.

3. A Blog can Create Passive Income Stream

Ria and Lyle shared the positive financial impact of blogs to their businesses. My adsense earnings amazingly doubled in this particular day. Coincidence?

4. Bloggers can Work under Pressure and Pleasure

While Aileen shared the perks of being a blogger, here are the bloggers in action — up close and personal.



Chattee, a "foodnographer"...



with the gang, before eating sashimi.

5. Network and Meet other Bloggers = More Link Love

Gone are the faceless blogs.



More than 130 bloggers joined the event.

6. All the Best Things in Life are Free

Free Wifi, unlimited coffee and free meals! What more can you ask for?



Thank you to our generous sponsors.

7. Bloggers have VIP Access to PacMan’s Mansion


Almost being like at the boxing ringside with Manny Pacquiao.

8. When Bloggers are Not Blogging, Here’ What They Do…
   


... enjoying the scenic view at Sarangani Highlands with Aethen and Patrick.



... goofing around with Sarah and Tiara.



... Kevin, Charles and Denz singing their hearts out.

Congratulations to Avel and the rest of the Gensan team! You all deserve a standing ovation. Job well done! I can’t wait for Mindanao Bloggers Summit 3.

When setting your prices, it is best to start a little lower and increase it up as your blog performs well. You get 60% of the revenue while Performancing will get a 40% cut and payout is through Paypal every 1st of the following month.

Apart from buying and selling ads, they also employ an exchange ad system.

A publisher earns a set baseline of credits simply for displaying ads, and earns even more credits when ads are sold on his or her site. Credits are then converted into free traffic for the publisher.

Want a website to advertise on?

Advertisers can take advantage of their introductory deal with a $25 off your first ad purchase of $100 or more. Because the website is easy to use, you can easily sign up for an advertiser account and browse immediately in the marketplace. Websites are sorted by categories. It has a thumbnail and Alexa rank as well. For a limited period, you can advertise here for only $1.00.

Affiliates
Publishers can also take advantage of their generous affiliate program. You get $10 for each new publisher or advertiser you refer plus 5% recurring revenue on all advertiser ad buys for life.

Look who’s here? Our friends at Friendster have even joined the pack with an ad price of only $2.50/week?! If you ask me, that is already a sweet bargain.
