My Professional Experiences (19 Years of Experience)

 

It is common to make mistakes when managing campaigns and marketing-related aspects when you are starting. The good news is that because I have extensive experience managing numerous campaigns and projects, I already made a lot of mistakes and have learned from them, found alternative solutions, and developed preventive measures so that all the mistakes I’ve made in the past can be avoided when you choose to hire me. Eventually, I could minimize your risk of losing money from having unsuccessful campaigns.

 

In addition to the client’s commercial and corporate websites, I also performed a lot of experiments from my own personal websites in various niches. This means I can handle a wide variety of niches whether it may be personal or business niches.

 

Core skills are among the top considerations when hiring a freelancer since they have the power to SkyRocket your business. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the major needs of every business because being on top rank at Google provides a huge advantage. Luckily, I have a proven track record of ranking more than 20+ websites on the first page of Google SERP which translated into increased revenues from inquiries coming from organic searches plus experience in running paid media campaigns which consist of Google Ads (Adwords), Facebook Ads, Google Display Network, Youtube Ads, and Linkedin Ads. Combining these SEO skills with Content Marketing is another core skill that I possess that plays a vital role in digital marketing. Imagine having a website with articles written with SEO Copywriting taking the rank on top of Google and getting a lot of clicks, exciting, isn’t it?

 

Aside from these core skills, I also have other beneficial skills that will complete your marketing needs like Web Design & Development and Graphics design. Website is quite essential in any business nowadays and the good news is that I also have these skills so you will not need to hire another freelancer and just top it up to the requirements package for your ease. Moreover, I am also knowledgeable about Social Media Marketing, Online Marketing, Advertising, Market Research, and Project Management. With me, it’s like a one-stop freelancer or agency that could cater to all your digital marketing needs.

 

 

Personal Things About Me

 

Like everyone else, I am an ordinary person who happens to have a variety of interests, including traveling, photography, videography, running, and mountaineering. He loves traveling to scenic roads that lead to the mountains and enjoys the breathtaking sea of clouds whenever he’s on top of the mountains. At the moment, I managed to conquer more than 60 mountains, mostly in the Philippines, my home country, and aiming to climb at least 3 of the 7 summits. I used to do a lot of marathons (road and trail) because I always wanted to test or push my body beyond limits. I started doing half marathons (21km) then full marathons (42km) and eventually ultra-marathons (50km +) and later the most challenging ultra-trail marathon 50km in March of 2016. The longest road marathon I joined was at 60km.

 

Above all, Traveling and Photography is the thing I am most passionate about. I like to discover a lot of places, meet new people and experience their culture. I love going to white-sand beaches and visiting remote islands.
