Foreword
I love vacations.
In fact, I just came from Hong Kong

yesterday. I was with a busload of people: my wife,
my 2 kids, my 4 sisters, my 6 nephews and nieces,
and their spouses and kids. We were 23 in the group.
You can just imagine the mayhem. Twenty

three people with 23 cameras.
I love vacations so much; I take one vacation a

month.
I’m serious!
This year alone, I’ve been to Zambales,

Palawan, Bohol, Hidden Valley, Bangkok, Phuket,
Kuala Lumpur…
Most of the time, I take huge groups with me.

My extended family. Or the top leaders in my
businesses or organizations.

Foreword
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I use vacation times for building relationships
with the people I love.
People ask me, “How can you do that? You’re

doing so many things.”
It’s true. I run 12 businesses and 9 non-

profits.
But the secret is what Sha Nacino will share

with you in her book, How to Earn While on
Vacation.
It’s really the magic of passive income.
Sha has the right perspective in life. Take on

this paradigm and you too will go places!
May this book bless you.
See you in one of my vacations!
May your dreams come true,

Introduction
How would you like to continue earning while

you’re dining in Paris or while playing with the
pigeons in Milan, or to have another source of
income without getting a second job or rendering
overtime?
When I came back from my European

pilgrimage, I read an email that made me say,
“Wow! This is what I’d call ‘passive income’!” That
email also gave me an idea; I realized more people
need to know about passive income and how it is
earned. So, I thought, why not write a book about
how to earn while on vacation?
This book is about how to earn passive

income. If this is the first time you’ve heard of the
term “passive income,” don’t worry. After reading
this book, you will understand this concept by heart
and realize that earning passive income is
achievable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This book will show you simple, doable, and
effective means to earn passive income. So simple
you would say, “Why didn’t I think of this before?!”
It will re-acquaint you with THREE POWERFUL

WORDS you must be very familiar with, yet probably
often taken for granted.
You are missing a lot if you continue to take

these words for granted.
Why? Because these words could help you

earn passive income.
The FIRST word helped me go to Europe.
The SECOND word allowed me to earn while in

Europe.
The THIRD word helped me write this book.

Eventually, I hope that the third word could also
help me tour the world.
Before I share with you how to earn passive

income, let me first take you to . . .

A Tour of Europe
For 14 days, my friends and I visited three

European countries and eight cities, the highlight of
which was the weeklong World Youth Day 2011 in
Madrid, Spain.
First stop was France where everything was

magical – the Eiffel Tower, the Basilique du Sacre-
Coeur, the Versailles Palace, and the Lourdes
Grotto. It was a surreal experience!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next stop was Spain where we conquered the
streets of Madrid with love and smiles during the
World Youth Day 2011.
Seeing the Pope and receiving his blessing,

and being in the company of great friends from the
Philippines and millions of youth from all over the
world gave me immense joy that no words could
describe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last stop was Italy where I heard Holy Mass in
St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome and where I saw the
famous Roman Colosseum. And oh, the gelato was
wonderful!
Everything seemed perfect except that I

didn’t see Piolo in Milan. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I got back to the Philippines, I found the
email I was telling you about, the one that told me I
had earned some income. Imagine earning money
while I was enjoying Europe!
Are you curious to know how I did it? Read on.

Chapter 1
What is Passive Income?
The key to earning while on vacation is

PASSIVE INCOME.
I know this may sound vague to you so let me

differentiate it from another type of income which is
called ACTIVE INCOME.
If you’re employed, your salary is called

active income. As Bo Sanchez once pointed out, in
earning active income, you exchange your time for
money. But since your time is limited, your active
income is also limited.
In earning active income, you have to invest

your physical presence. You have to be there, in the
office, in school, in the field, in the workplace.
However, in passive income, you could earn

even if you’re not there, even if you’re snorkeling in
Batangas or doing the plunge in Bohol.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples of passive income include
apartment rentals, earnings from your investments,
royalties from a franchise, etc.
Is it easy to earn passive income? Well, yes

and no.
Yes, because the concept is very simple. And

no, because though the concept is simple, it requires
effort, time, and commitment.
Why is Passive Income Important?
Have you ever skipped a friend’s birthday

dinner because you had to work overtime? What else
have you missed just because you had to stay in the
office until the wee hours of the night? Missing that
birthday celebration, or that reunion, or that dinner
with the family is the opportunity cost of having to
work overtime. An opportunity cost, as how
economists describe it, is a foregone benefit.
Instead of opportunity costs, passive income

gives you opportunity benefits. (Okay, I just made up
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this term.) Opportunity benefits are the benefits
that you could get by not working overtime. For
instance, you could go home early, or you could hear
mass, or you could attend that birthday dinner.
There is a famous song that goes:
“It’s not about the money…money…money…

forget about the price tag.”
Passive income is not just about earning more

money. It’s also about making the most out of one’s
time and choice.
More on Opportunity Benefits
The opportunity benefits of earning passive

income could be in terms of TIME, MONEY, and
CHOICE.
Time. If you have an additional source of

earning in the form of passive income, you don’t
have to work overtime on Saturdays or Sundays to
supplement your basic salary. You could use the two-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
day off per week to bond with your family or to
enhance your talents. Eventually, when your passive
income would already be greater than your active
income, then you may choose to take a break from
work and do something else.
Money. With passive income, you are still

earning while doing something else. You will have
automatically outsourced a means of generating
income. You could use that money to treat your
family to movies, to help out in charity work, to visit
an island, or to save up for the next World Youth
Day!
Choice. Let’s say you’re choosing between

job A and job B.
Job A is something that you don’t enjoy doing

but it gives you Php20k income per month, which is
enough to cover your living expenses. Job B is
something that you love doing, say teaching in an
elementary school, but the income per month is only
Php15k, not even enough to cover your monthly
living expenses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you’re earning passive income of at least
Php5k per month, then you could choose Job B and
still earn enough money (active income of Php15k
plus passive income of Php5k) to cover your living
expenses.
If you’re earning (through passive income)

while in a vacation with your family, then you could
choose to go on vacations for as long as you want!
Passive Income and Financial Freedom
Eventually, you could have your passive

income replace your active income. This is when
your passive income is already generating earnings
greater than your salary.
And when your monthly passive income is

already greater than your expenses, then that’s the
stage when you’ve become FINANCIALLY FREE! You
could choose to stop working if you want to, but still
maintain the kind of lifestyle you choose.

Chapter 2
How to Earn Passive Income
So how do we earn passive income?
Let me emphasize that this is not a get-rich-

quick scheme. If you hear anyone say, “Get rich
quick!” or “Laway lang ang puhunan”, then take a
step back. Maybe that person just wants easy
earnings and will run away after he gets your money.
The truth is passive income is not earned right

away. It takes time. It has a gestation period. It may
take months or even years before you finally earn.
But once you start earning, its potential to increase
is exponential. And over time, your passive income
could match and exceed your active income.
Setting up your means of earning passive

income also requires commitment. It’s similar to
putting up a business. In the beginning, you need to
really allot time and effort. But once the business
system is in place and you’ve gained your market
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 12
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
presence, you don’t need to allot as much time
anymore.
There are several ways of earning passive

income. But I don’t want to bombard you with so
much information. So let me reveal to you the
THREE KEY WORDS that are often neglected, but are
actually very good sources of passive income.
These words are STOCKS, INTERNET, and

TALENTS. For easy recall, just remember the
acronym SIT.
So SIT down, relax, and read on.

Keyword #1 – Stocks
You see them all the time – Jollibee, Manila

Waters, Ayala land, PLDT, BPI.
Have you ever thought of owning even just a

small portion of these big companies? If you think
owning shares – stocks – of these companies are only
for millionaires, then you are mistaken.
In his book My Maids Invest in the Stock

Market…And Why You Should Too, Bo Sanchez shared
that his house helpers have invested in the stock
market and their money is actually growing.
I was shocked when I read this. What?! So

investing in stocks is simple and affordable?
I resolved to learn how to invest in the stock

market. And I wanted to learn from no less than Bo
Sanchez himself. Bo Sanchez taught his maids how to
invest in the stock market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 14
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What if I apply as a maid of Bo Sanchez? But I
had to discard that option because I realised I am
not a good cook.
So I signed up for Bo Sanchez’s TrulyRichClub

(http://www.trulyrich3.trulyrichclub.com) where he
gives updates on stocks. I learned which stocks to
buy, how to buy them and when to sell them. I also
learned some very simple techniques on how to
make the most out of my investments in stocks.
Two Ways to Invest in the Stock Market
There are two ways of investing in the stock

market – either as a TRADER or as an INVESTOR.
As a trader, you buy stocks, wait for the value

to go up, and then sell them. This is a more
aggressive way of investing in stocks. It means that
you need to closely monitor your investments so you
would know when to sell.
As an investor, you buy stocks and forget

about them. You buy stocks on a regular basis and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 15
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
apply money cost averaging. Bo Sanchez defines
money cost averaging as investing small amounts of
money each month over a period of ten to twenty
years. In other words, you buy stocks for the long-
term.
I didn’t have much time to monitor the

market so I opted to be an investor. That is, I bought
stocks of Jollibee, Ayala Land, and Manila Water and
forgot all about them. I had programmed my mind
that my stocks were allotted for my retirement.
How the Stocks Brought Me to Europe
So what happened to my stocks?
A few months prior to the European trip, I

thought of not pushing through because the money I
had allotted was not enough for the trip.
Then I remembered my stocks. Aha! To cut

the long story short, I sold my stocks and voila! The
value of the stocks I bought grew by almost 20% in
less than a year! I had enough money for the trip.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 16
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Earn from Stocks
I bought some shares of Jollibee Foods Corpo-

ration (JFC), Ayala Land Inc., (ALI), and Manila
Water Company (MWC) sometime in 2010.
The costs per share were as follows:
Company Name Cost per Share (PHP)

ALI 13.9761
JFC 71.6167
MWC 18.4188
When I decided to sell the stocks so I could go

to Europe and attend the World Youth Day 2011 in
Spain, the value of the stocks had already gone up!
Let me show you the table so you could

compare my buying price with my selling price.
Company Buying Selling Net

Name Price per Price per Increase
Share Share
ALI 13.9761 15.60 11.62%
JFC 71.6167 88.30 23.30%
MWC 18.4188 18.64 1.20%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 17
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In just a year, my JFC shares increased by
more than 20%! ALI performed quite well at 11.62%
while MWC hardly increased. The good thing was
that, majority of the stocks I bought were JFC
stocks.
Exciting enough? 
Let me just warn you that investing in stocks

can be very risky if you enter it with little
knowledge. And so I really encourage you to get
some mentoring. Bo Sanchez is being mentored by a
group of stock investors and he is sharing what he’s
learning from his mentors and from his personal
experiences to the members of his Truly Rich Club.
To increase your knowledge on investing in

the stock market, you may want to attend seminars,
read books, or talk to stockbrokers.

Keyword #2 – Internet
You use it perhaps every day, checking status

updates of your friends on Facebook, sending tweets
to your friends, or watching your favorite
Koreanovelas from Youtube.
Why not convert those internet hours to

something more productive?
There are many techniques of earning through

the internet, but for now I will share with you just
two: GOOGLE ADS, and AFFILIATE MARKETING.
Earning through the internet is generally referred to
as internet marketing.
How to Earn through Google Adsense
The first thing that you need to do is to create

a website or start a blog. Think of something you’d
like to share or write about, and use your website or
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 19
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
blog to communicate your ideas to the world. Then
earn from it. How?
Through Google Adsense. This is a feature by which

Google places ads on your website/blog and pays you
depending on the traffic your website generates, or
on the number of clicks viewers made on the Google
ads in your website.
Here’s how a Google ad looks like.
Traffic. Traffic refers to the number of visitors who

view your website. I read that Google pays around
USD .05 to USD5 for every 1,000 impressions your
website gets. So if the traffic to your website is
1,000 per day, you could earn anywhere between
USD15 to USD150 a month from traffic alone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 20
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost-per-Click. The earnings you get from cost-per-
click depends on how much the advertisers are
willing to pay. I read that Google pays somewhere
between 2 cents to USD15 per click.
Let’s say that out of 1,000 visits to your blog,

10% (or 100) of them clicked on the Google ads.
Thus, your additional earning from the clicks on your
Google ads could range from USD60 to USD45,000!
How to Earn through Affiliate Marketing
Remember the email I received that wowed

me?
The subject of the email had displayed

“Congratulations! You’ve referred a sale!”
When I opened the message, it said, “You

have earned $21.50 in commission for this sale.”
I earned through affiliate marketing. Here’s

how it works.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 21
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s say you applied as an affiliate marketer
of Amazon. As an affiliate marketer, you have been
authorized by Amazon to market its products, then
you earn a commission for every sale made through
your marketing efforts.
Amazon would provide you with an affiliate

link so Amazon could automatically track the sales
made through your affiliate link. If your friend clicks
on your affiliate link and buys through that affiliate
link, you earn a commission. You could email your
affiliate links to your friends or post them on
Facebook.
In our Amazon example, affiliate marketing is

a win-win-win situation for the three parties –
Amazon, you as the affiliate marketer, and the
buyer. You helped Amazon get more sales, Amazon
gave you a reward in the form of affiliate
commission, and the buyer got to know Amazon’s
product through you.
To get started, I bought a domain name and

host for my website www.seminarphilippines.com. I
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 22
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
signed up using my friend’s SiteGround affiliate link.
I’ve had very good experiences with SiteGround.
For a non-techie person like me who gets lost

with the HTML language, I particularly liked
SiteGround’s 24/7 chat facility.
By the way, I created a simple blog post on

how you can create a professional blog in less than
30 minutes. Here’s the link:
https://seminarphilippines.com/2016/12/how-to-
create-a-professional-blog-in-30-minutes-or-less/.
How to Jumpstart Internet Marketing
I got interested with internet marketing in

2010. I searched for a trusted and an effective
internet marketing coach in the Philippines and I
stumbled upon Jomar Hilario. He is the internet-
marketing mentor of Bo Sanchez. Sanchez. He also
mentored Jay Castillo, the successful owner of the
blog www.foreclosurephilippines.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 23
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I enrolled in Jomar Hilario’s two-day Internet
Marketing Workshop where he taught me and the
participants the basics of blogging, what topics to
write about, how to generate traffic to your site,
how to use auto-responders, how to earn through
Google ads, and many more.
The workshop was so much fun and

overflowing with food as the Php9k+ I paid for the
two-day seminar included snacks, lunch, and dinner.
I was overwhelmed after the seminar.

Information overload. Working with HTMLs made my
nose bleed. I had created some blogs but I realized I
needed a continuous coaching.
So I again signed up in Jomar Hilario’s

Internet Marketing Online Club where a truckload of
information and downloadable files were stored.
From time to time, I would also let him check

my work. I guess that’s the beauty of being part of
the Internet Marketing Online Club.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 24
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you want to turn those clicks into money,
I suggest that you study internet marketing. Attend
seminars. Read articles online.
The internet provides a wealth of information

on how to earn passive income through the internet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keyword #3 – Talents
I believe we all have talents.
You think you have no talent? I thought the

same thing about myself!
If there are four singing voices, namely the

bass, tenor, alto, and soprano, mine belongs to the
fifth called sintonado. I dance like a stiff pole. I can
only draw abstract images that could pass for a
Grade I pupil’s work. And I haven’t mastered a single
piano piece even after taking piano lessons for
almost six months! As the cliché goes: I was fast
asleep when God distributed talents to His children.
But wait! Singing, dancing, painting, and

playing a musical instrument are not the only talents
on earth!
How about eating? You may laugh but I think

eating is a talent. In fact, I know of someone who is
so good at eating, actually in knowing what food
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 26
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tastes best, that she put up a restaurant with her
friends. And now their restaurant business is
booming. Thanks to her gift of taste!
We all have talents. We just have to take time

to discover them, nurture them, and use them to
bless others. We also have to think how our talents
could provide solutions to someone else’s problems.
Do you know that your talents could put

money in your pocket? Of course! Your talents could
give you passive income. Here are some practical
tips on how that could be done:
Music. If you’re good at playing the guitar,

you may record yourself playing the guitar, develop
modules of guitar lessons, and look for a company
willing to produce your CDs. Alternatively, you may
also sell digital copies online. Another way is to
create a website where people could view your
videos for free; thus, driving traffic to your website.
You could then apply for Google ads so that Google
will pay you depending on the traffic you generate
to your site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 27
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Writing. If you have a compelling message,
write it down and get it published! Books and e-
books are good sources of passive income too.
When I learned about the importance of

personal financial management, I wanted to share it
to my family, friends, and colleagues. That inspired
me to write books.
Baking. Let’s say you’re good at baking

mouth-watering, sweet, and non-sugary brownies.
What you can do is to approach bakeries or pastry
stores and sell your recipe to them. You may ask
them to give you a small percentage for every
brownie they sell.
This was how KFC started. Col. Sanders had a

chicken recipe which he offered to over a thousand
restaurant owners. After being turned down 1009
times, one finally said yes, and the rest is history.
Photography. If you have an SLR or a

powerful camera and you’re great at capturing
images, then you could sell your photos online or in
print. That way, you’ve just turned your hobby into
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 28
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
an earning opportunity. If you think this is absurd,
then look at the post cards that are so common not
just in the Philippines but in other countries as well.
Of course, you need to be a little more

creative here. What would set you apart from other
photographers? Why should people buy from you
instead of just downloading the photos online? These
are the questions you need to address.
Sports. If you’re good at sports - be it

badminton, running, volleyball, or biking - share
your expertise and earn from it.
When I wanted to learn how to play

badminton the right way, I had to hire a badminton
coach and pay him for each hour that he spent
playing with me. I think that is so cool. Imagine,
you’re just doing what you love to do, and people
pay you for it? As a coach, this is still called active
income as you need to invest your time and physical
presence. To turn this into passive income, you
could video-tape yourself demonstrating how to play
badminton and put them in a DVD. You only have to
do the video once, but every time someone buys a
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 29
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
copy, you earn from royalty, even if you’re surfing in
Samar or island-hopping in Palawan.
Sewing. If you’re into sewing, find your niche.

Perhaps you could design and sew Barong Tagalog
that doesn’t easily get crumpled for male office
workers. Or you could create modest but fashionable
clothes and be an expert in that field.
These are just a few ideas on how one can

earn from one’s talent. There are still many more
out there and it would be up to you to discover and
choose them! The key is to look for ways on how
your talent(s) could solve someone else’s problems.
Discover that talent now and earn from it!

Bonus Chapter
How to Create a Professional Blog

in 30 Minutes or Less
Have you always wanted to put up your own

blog?
I started blogging sometime in 2008 or 2009.

At that time, I was already falling in love with
writing. I thought blogging was a logical thing to do
so I could share my ideas to the world.
It was my friend, Jay Castillo of

ForeclosurePhilippines.com, who inspired me to take
blogging seriously. Nope, he didn’t tell me to blog
but his blog spoke to me so loudly that I decided to
follow his footsteps.
I learned that whenever Jay posts an article in

his blog, this is being read by thousands of people.
Not only that, his blog has been helping a lot of
people. Instead of going to the banks to ask for the
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 31

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
listing of foreclosed properties, you can just visit
Jay’s blog and find the listings from different banks.
Indeed, a blog can be so powerful and useful!
Today, my blog www.SeminarPhilippines.com

has done wonders!
It helped me become a better writer. It

helped me communicate my message to the world.
Whenever I post an article, I would receive a number
of emails and comments from all over the place.
Many of them expressed their gratitude saying my
articles inspired them. I also learned that whenever I
post an article, this is being read by thousands of
people all over the world.
One reader of my blog also invited me to

speak before a group of parents in Aklan. In short,
my blog allowed me to travel to Aklan for free, give
a talk to a group of 350 parents, and make a side
trip to Boracay. I and the person who invited me are
now friends. Hi Ate Nikki! Hi Ms. Megs! 🙂
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 32
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My blog also helped me as an author. This is
where I would usually launch my books and eBooks.
It has become a platform. I didn’t need to create a
seminar or an event to launch my books/eBooks. All I
needed to do was create an article and post it in my
blog.
Why You Should Put Up a Blog
If you’re a Leader, an Author, a Wanna-be

Author, a Speaker, a Toastmaster, a Parent who
wants to leave a legacy to his/her children, an OFW,
a citizen who wants to express his/her ideas, or
someone who wants to share something to the word,
YOU SHOULD HAVE A BLOG!
Okay, kindly allow me to repeat it in case you

didn’t hear it.
My friend, you should start your own blog!
It took me years to understand the world of

blogging. Up until today, I’m still learning.

Step 2: Get a Hosting.
What is a hosting?
Imagine a personal computer. You have a

monitor and you have CPU. The monitor is where you
view the files. The CPU is where the files are stored.
In the same way, the hosting is where your

blog files are stored.
If CPU is where your OFFLINE files are stored,

HOSTING is where your ONLINE files are stored.
If you want a professional blog and you’re

serious about it, I recommend that you get a paid
hosting. You would want to own your own blog files,
wouldn’t you?
There are many hosting available online. If

you want a reliable and affordable hosting, I highly
recommend Siteground, the same host I use to run
this blog and my official website
http://www.shanacino.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 35
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to using Siteground, I was using a

different Hosting and it served me well for about 5
years. However, on my 6th year, I’ve encountered so
many problems. Malwares, bugs, etc. which caused
downtime for my sites.
Thus, I shifted to SiteGround upon the

recommendation of my friend Allan. I love
SiteGround! It’s so easy to use. The security level is
high. And their 24/7 chat facility is so friendly and
efficient.
It means that whenever I need assistance, I

just chat with a SiteGround customer service, real
time.
You can host multiple domain names. Okay,

I’ll explain what a domain name means in Step 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 36
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can choose from the 3 options below:
My SiteGround plan is GrowBig so I can host

multiple domains.
If you’re ready to start your professional blog,

go ahead and sign up for your hosting. Just access
SiteGround here.
Step 3: Buy Your Own Domain Name
Domain name is the name of your blog. The

domain name of my blog is SeminarPhilippines.com.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 37
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How would you decide what domain name to
buy? It depends on the topic you’d like to write
about in your blog. I chose SeminarPhilippines
because I initially designed my blog as a place where
I share my notes from the different seminars I’ve
attended.
If you’re unsure yet what domain name to

choose, buy the domain of your own name.
For instance, I bought ShaNacino.com. You’d

be surprised to know affordable a domain name is.
Domain name ranges from USD7.99 to USD14.95 a
year. This is renewable every year.
The good news is, SiteGround comes with one

FREE domain name.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 38
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you sign up to your SiteGround account,

you can register one new domain for free. Please see
the screen shot above.
Note: If you have an existing domain, you may

choose I already have a Domain. However, I suggest
that you avail of the free domain. Then just transfer
your current domain and current hosting to
SiteGround. SiteGround can do all the heavy lifting
for you as regards domain and hosting transfer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 39
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4: Install WordPress.org
WordPress.org is a platform or a program for

blogs. I’m trying to define it as simple as possible to
avoid confusion. 🙂
All my websites and blogs run on

WordPress.org. Remember my friend Jay Castillo? His
blog www.ForeclosurePhilippines.com also runs on
WordPress.org.
Jay is my good friend and he is my go-t0 guy

when I need some expert advice on blogging.
Once you bought your own domain name,

install WordPress. Just log in to your cPanel account,
then go to WordPress tool (under the Autoinstallers
section), and install WordPress.
Or, you may simply chat with SiteGround via

the Live Chat and they can do it for you.
Take a look at my conversation with

SiteGround just now. I asked them how I can install
WordPress for one of my blogs. The representative
went the extra mile of offering to do it for me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 40
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s it! Now we’re down to the last step.
Step 5: Start Blogging.
Hosting? Check!
Domain name? Check!
WordPress.org? Check!
Now you’re ready to create your very first

blog post.
If along the way, you encounter nosebleed,

err, technical difficulty, just go to SiteGround’s 24/7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shanacino.com 41
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chat Facility. Their customer service representatives
are very efficient and friendly.
Easy, isn’t it? I love to simplify things. I’m a

big picture person and once I understand the big
picture, it’s easy for me to break it down to simple
and doable steps.
I look forward to seeing your blogs!
I wish you success and happiness!

Conclusion
I believe that there’s no limit to what you can

do! All you need is a little creativity, determination,
and a strong belief that soon, your dreams will come
true. Don’t waste that talent that God has given
you. Use it to bless others, and money will just
follow.
If we’re not too busy earning for a living, then

we could actually live. To live means to savor each
moment, to take time to smell the flowers.
A priest once said “If you’re an employee,

honor your commitment with your company. If you
signed in your contract that you will work from 8am-
5pm, then don’t go overtime. Work intensely during
the 8am-5pm so that you could go home at 5pm.” I
guess there’s so much wisdom to what he said, don’t
you think so? 
And oh…If you had some eureka moments

during and after reading this book, I’d love to hear
from you.
