GMA QTV-11 Invited me for a TV interview!

Last Tuesday June 23, 2009, someone from GMA called my house and asked for me but unfortunately, I wasn’t home that time. So my personal assistant gave her my cellphone number. I waited for their call the next day but nobody from GMA has called me. So I just thought that it was some kind of a big joke.

Then, on June 25, 2009, Josh Sales of GMA QTV called me and invited me for a TV interview regarding oDesk. Josh also said that she needs to interview one writer from oDesk and so I recommended my brother in law since we live in the same house, less hassle for GMA crew in terms of transportation.

The goal of the segment is to let their viewers know how oDesk works and how they can earn money from it. Another one is to show their patrons real people with exemplary skills truly earning decent amount of money from online / work from home jobs like oDesk.

I was so amazed and excited at the same time when I heard that news. Just a couple of days ago before they called me, I was thinking and wishing of becoming an SEO Personality here in the Philippines. I’m so glad that the start of that wish came to me that instant. :)

Gary interview

We scheduled the interview on June 27, 2009 which is Today! haha… The interview started at 10:30 am with my brother-in-law / writer / team member, Gary Arnesto. He was asked a couple of questions about his personal information and experience in working on oDesk.

After about an hour, they then started interviewing me. We settled for my room as our location since Gary used our sala already. There were lots of questions about oDesk given but I think I have answered them all completely. (Watch the episode for more information!!! to be announced when… )

My room looked really good on cam but it was so hot and steamy during the interview because the electric fans were turned off. :( The camera man said that the noise could be heard on TV.

Anyway, the total TV interview experience was incredibly fun and memorable for me. This event made me feel that I have a long way ahead on my SEO and oDesk career and that I should just continue what I’m doing and be an inspiration to others.

Let us not forget that every career / profession or job requires hard work and determination for us to succeed. May it be a regular day time job or a home based project, you should strive and give your best because the feeling of success acquired by pure hardship and perseverance is very fulfilling and incomparable.

    By the way,when will it be aired on tv?so I won’t miss it.

    • Hey, thanks for the compliment and continuous respect… :) You guys also inspire me to share whatever knowledge I have about working from home. Yes, that’s what I’ll do. I’ll keep on sharing more tips about freelancing and SEO. I’m not feeling well now but when I get better, I will post new articles. If you have something in particular that you want me to write about, just let me know. Thanks again… Will let you know kung kelan ipapalabas ha.. :)

  • Hi Mis Myka! Congratulations! Galing naman. ;) You deserve that… By the way, I have created a talking character on my newly created website. If you would like to have your own, I can create one for you. And I would be glad if you will give me few tips about Search Engine Optimization. Thanks! Keep up the good work… ^_^

    • Hey first of all, thank you… I saw your site. The talking character is absolutely cute and entertaining. Yes, I definitely like to have one of course. Will you do it for free or are you gonna charge me? hehe… :) I’d love to blog about what you do, will it be okay? Also, if there’s anything in particular you like to know about SEO, hit me a comment and I’ll see what I can do to help you.

  • Hi! Thank you for your reply. I can create one for you for free. You’ll just have to prepare the image of the character, and the texts that will be spoken by that character. After that I’ll give you the files. Sure you can blog anything from me. Considering that it’s not personal. hahaha :) Joking… Well about SEO, I would like to ask a little help from you, as you are the SEO specialist here ;). I would like to know and ask how will it work for my website and how to do it. That will increase the page rank if I am not mistaken. Also as u have noticed in my friends’ links, I included a link directly to your site and to the Lady Programmer’s site. I would love to exchange links from you guys. This would be fair enough as this is a win-win relationship. ;)

    • Thanks Khem… I will send you the image of the character and the text within the week or by early next week. Kc I’m still not feeling well. :( Anyway, thanks for linking to my site and to my friend’s site. The lady programmer doesn’t link to my site yet because she has no room for other link exchange partners but I will ask her still, okay? About, me linking to your site, I would love to do so given that I will thoroughly review your site first. I see that you have knowledge about link exchange / reciprocal linking / two-way linking although you got to learn the ins and outs of it. I will make a post about this and this is where I’ll put a link to your site. I would like to help you learn SEO but with the workload I have right now, I could probably make one post per week about SEO so just keep on checking my site for new SEO tips and tricks. :) Thanks Khem.

  • Khem, you can just subscribe to my RSS so that you can automatically receive updates on my blog posts. :)

  • ok. No problem Miss Myka. ;) …Get well soon. Send me the files anytime you like. Ok I will do subscribe to you RSS. Thank you so much. God bless.

  • Following my monitoring, thousands of people all over the world get the home loans at different creditors. So, there’s a good chance to get a bank loan in every country.

  • Making money online is not so simple as everyone think, internet marketing affiliate program is one of the most often choices, and truely - this is one of the best ways to earn online. If you think about Google AdSense just forget it, earnings are very poor and risk of MFA classified by Google is high.

  • Hi I found your blog on google and enjoyed reading it .I’ve bookmarked your site and will be back

  • But it’s not as easy as it sounds or seems … 100 Agree… It is not that easy to Make Money Online
