Meet the Advertlets Bloggerina, Kim Ong!
Years ago, I met someone. He did look like an intellectual person, behind the spectacles and the seriousness he had wanted to portray. I did wonder if he was a businessman of some sort, clad in the Chinese outfit. I only had less than a minute to guess. I’m talking about Josh, founder of Advertlets.com. Soon after, he revealed he was a web designer and much later, I found out he isn’t as old as I thought he was! Anyway, the age thing is no longer a secret. If you don’t already know, continue to guess. A new friendship is like an unripened fruit, it may become either an orange or a lemon. Such is my friendship with Josh. Our five years of friendship since 2003 had been strengthened to a point where mutual trust has been established. I’ve had no doubts in Josh’s abilities. We have had our ups and downs and fair share of arguments, but for some reason there was some kind of faith towards one another.
To be honest, I’m no tech-junkie myself but how could I relate to Josh? To some extent, maybe we help boost each other’s creativity in work, plus he’s taught me alot about the technology industry. If there was a scale of a level of tech-junkie, it would be this: Beginner, Elementary and Advanced. I fall within the “Elementary” category. I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner either, after 5 years of being a blogger, previously on xanga using the nickname “kimfluttersby” and now on my own dot com. I’ve been on the internet long enough to know what’s happening around me. As for my blogging style? Simple enough to relate to readers with the intention to keep my readers happy and because of this, I love sharing.

As an average blogger myself, I recently learned about the potential of making money on my blog, last year. “Post up pictures, ensure a decent kind of standard in my writing with substance, ensure a consistent readership and voila, I’m ready to go with Advertlets.” Those are the main criteria for being part of Advertlets and you can place an ad almost immediately on your blog. I realised the potential in Advertlets in wanting to help Bloggers and Advertisers. Equal opportunity seems to be Advertlets’ core focus.
There are tons of bloggers in Malaysia; prominent ones with traffic of 5-figure uniques on a daily basis, some with lower traffic but with loyal visitors and commentators, and even some aspiring ones, some just started, and well, some are reading this wondering what Advertlets is all about. Because of this, I do feel part of the blogging community and this is important for new bloggers entering the blog arena. With the user-friendly interface on Advertlets.com, steps to install codes aren’t difficult at all. It’s fun, and there’s money to make!
The future of blogging is promising and the best part is that Advertlets moves with trend, forward, together with you. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Advertlets! But rest assured, I will know before you (muahaha)…and be ready to help you out with new features & more as they come.
In the day, I work in Marketing and Advertising. Come night, I become the Advertlets Bloggerina! *turns on superhero song – you decide*! My position in Advertlets as an Advertlets Bloggerina (Ambassador sounded too government like, haha) will be to assist in blogger relations so do not hesitate to contact me at kim.ong@advertlets.com to ask me 101 questions. Let me know if you have any problems installing codes, any questions, suggestions, or great ideas for our next gathering I will try my very best to respond.
