52 Week Ipon Challenge. I think this is still the most effective Ipon Challenge of all time. It works well for Filipino with weekly salary. You can start with 10 Pesos and increase the savings by 10 Pesos as weeks passes by. If you start on January 6, 2018, by December 2018, you will have 13K Pesos.

24 Week Ipon Challenge. If you happen to receive your salary twice a month, then this Ipon Challenge For 2018 is the best for you. Depending on your sweldo, you can try 100, 500 or 1000.

That’s how much you can save if you start with 1000. This one is best for people who’s take home is 100K and up.

Invisible Money Ipon Challenge. This is the simplest challenge and most fun actually. May variations ito. Pwedeng invisible 50, invisible 20 or invisible 10 and 5 (pang bata yan).

Sa invisible 50 Pesos Ipon Challenge, all the 50’s go straight to your alkansya, easy as pie! Nag viral yung girl na sa loob ng 5 months, nakaipon sya ng 40K pesos.

For 20 pesos, syempre all 20 pesos hindi nyo pwede gastusin. Yung isang nakita ko online, 1000 Pesos in 8 days lang.

Teach your kids to save din using this challenge. Tell them about the invisible 10 pesos coin or 5 pesos coin Ipon Challenge.

Blogger Rate Card: 3 Easy Steps

I have been asked, not just once, by mommy blogger friends, how to answer a sponsored post inquiry. I am often asked “Ano ba ang isasagot ko?” And I usually answer, send them your Blogger Rate Card. Most of the times, they don’t have one.

Honestly, sponsored post inquiries or collaboration inquiries are a bit challenging to deal with. You want the project to push through but you also want to receive a fair amount for your effort. Let’s deal with the pricing later. Let’s deal muna with how to reply to inquiry emails.

I usually reply with “Please tell me more about the project/campaign.” This works well if the inquiry did not mention about honorarium. If they reply with the scope of work and still no mention of the honorarium, that’s the best time to reply with your Blogger Rate Card. I know, I know, you still don’t have one! Basically, that’s the whole point of this article babe, I am gonna teach you how to make a Blogger Rate Card and a little bit on the pricing part.

3 Easy Steps To Create Your Own Blogger Rate Card

Step 1. Blog profile and audience profile. Create a 2-3 sentences about your blog, mention keywords about your usual topics. Is it about kids in general? homemaking? Food and recipes? Your blog profile should be short. Save your long introduction for your media kit. Also ready your logo as it is an essential part of your blog profile.

AUDIENCE PROFILE? Who reads your blog? Are they homemakers? Mostly moms? What are the age range? It is important to list your audience because brands/ companies will hire you not just for your traffic but also because of your audience.

Step 2. Blog Services and Rate. List all the services you are offering. Here are some of the samples:

  • Sponsored post/ Branded content
  • Product Review
  • Giveaway
  • Long Term engagement (ambassadorship/ influencer)
  • Banner Placement

And of course, RATE. How do you give a price tag to a sponsored post? How about product review? Giveaways?

For product reviews, here’s how I deal with it: always depends on the product. If I like it, I do it for free sometimes.

Giveaway is hard work and time-consuming. When a brand asked to include a giveaway, sometimes I ask for extra.

BLOG SPONSORED POST RATE

Mahirap mag presyo mga mamshies! There’s always the dilemma na baka mamahalan sa rate mo or baka masyadong mura ang maibigay mo. And we all know blogging is NOT CHEAP. Here’s a very clear picture of How Much Bloggers Shell Out To Maintain a Blog.

How I came up with my price range? Based on the offers that I receive, averaging and logic. My price is negotiable but I have a minimum. My mimimum price is the lowest possible rate I can do a sponsored post. This is the price range that I am still OK to spend writing about the product and promoting it on my social media accounts.

What’s the minimum price for a sponsored post? A few readings suggest that 5000 PhP is a fair price base. It increases depends on your traffic and influence. If you have at least 5,000 traffic per month and total social media followings of 5000, 5000 PhP is a fair price for a sponsored post. If you have less than those numbers, improve your blog and work to achieve those numbers or more.

Step 3. Design your blogger rate card. Now that you have your profile, your list of services and rate, it’s time to design your Blogger Rate Card.

Design your blogger rate card.

Canva is the best place to do that. It’s an online editing tool that lets you upload your own image and it’s drag and drop. The fonts available in Canva are really nice too.

Here are some of the samples I made using Canva. DO NOT EDIT PLEASE. At the top left, near CANVA logo, click FILE then MAKE A COPY.

If you want to use the templates I made, you can do so and here’s how:

  1. Sign up at Canva before clicking my templates.
  2. Open the template and choose what you want to use.
  3. At the top left, near CANVA logo, click FILE then MAKE A COPY.
  4. Rename your copy to your blog’s name (located top right).
  5. Start editing the template. Save and download when you are done.

Ang dali lang di ba? You can do it, create your very own Blogger Rate and Card as well as your own MEDIA KIT and start replying to those inquiries.

P.S. This is my usual reply, “Attached is my rate card and media kit for your perusal.”

With my 5 Basic Grocery Shopping Tipid Tips, you’ll never go over budget on your grocery again, ever! I dare you to try.

5 Basic Grocery Shopping Tipid Tips

Tipid Tip #1: MAKE A GROCERY LIST. This is probably one of the most important tipid tip that I will share with you. Making a grocery list limits you from buying what you do not need. It also guides you to not forget the essentials in your house. Make a list and of course bring it when you do your grocery.

I wish there’s a grocery app which lets you make a grocery list, tracks your usage, lets you know when its time to buy and also have a price comparison. Sobrang bongga yan for us home makers no?

Tipid Tip #2: NEVER DO YOUR GROCERY HUNGRY. It’s tempting to just grab your bag, decides on eating at the supermarket and starts shopping. If you can’t eat at home, grab something before you start doing your grocery. There is a tendency to grab almost everything your stomach fancies when you do your grocery in an empty stomach.

That grumbling noise always win. That chips look delish! Oh I am thirsty! I could finish a case of coke! Fruits? Chocolates? I want them all!!!!

kebata bata eh nagpapabili ng Lipton! This is what happens when you bring kids to the grocery. 

Tipid Tip #3: DO NOT BRING THE KIDS. It’s very tempting to bring them and see it as treat to them but do not give in to that temptation. It’s very tiring, you’re checking the list, making sure all your needs is in your cart and your trying not to lose your patient because, well, kids!

You can bring them, leave them at the arcade but then that’s another money you need to spend. And kids are always hungry, brining them adds up to your “eating budget”

Also, mga inay, this is our chance to unwind! Sulitin mo na ang bakasyong ito!

Tipid Tip #4: DO NOT GO OVER THE AISLE MORE THAN ONCE. Sabi ko it’s our chance to unwind, sulitin na natin but not to the extent na paikot ikot ka sa buong  grocery. More ikot sa asile, more chances of getting what is not on your list. Hinay hinay sa pagtutulak ng cart.

This tip also lets you spend the most minimum time inside the store. Based on study, the more time you spend inside the store, the more chances of winning, este losing on this tipidan game.

Tipid Tip #5: PLAN YOUR GROCERY TRIP. Still on the premise of spending less time inside the store, plan your trip so that you’ll be able to avoid the “rush hour”. More pila, mas maraming pagod, mas maramig gutom. Also, the more time you spend near the cashier, where premium products are placed, the more you are tempted to get at least one or two Cadbury (or Energizer, or that pair of toothbrush).

If you’re doing your grocery every payday, do it early in the morning and never do it on Friday evenings, hunger games ang peg ng mga tao pag weekend payday eh.

Gusto ko sana idagdag sa tip ko ang “look for the grocery with the cheapest SRP” kaso, I have my own favorite grocery stores and I don’t know if they have the cheapest SRP. Gagawin ko yan soon, grocery hopping and price comparing!
