Janette Toral launched this Blog & Social Media Entrepreneur Course with the aim of creating a movement – to encourage the growth of online entrepreneurship and serve the growing needs of businesses locally and internationally. We combine online course access, hands-on activities, and consultations via webinar.

This is perfect for out-of-town participants and those with unusual schedules who can now learn at any time of day and from anywhere as long as there is Internet access.

What made this program different from other similar courses available in the market is that we go beyond the creation of a project plan. Every module requires a plan to be fully executed where the final grade largely depends on it. The one-on-one consultation plays an important role during this stage as well where Janette Toral also collaborates, if necessary, to help carry out a participant's project.

~ Mark Joseph Delgado, Certified Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur
Full Testimonial

My name is Mark Joseph Delgado. I am a Marketing professional and I only started to take blogging seriously last 2010 when I discovered that a lot of bloggers are actually earning through their blogs. The program definitely took my blogging to the next level!

Through the program, I was able to integrate the things that I know as a Marketing professional with blogging and social media. I enjoyed creating social media activations so much as part of my blog campaigns and I consider the projects that I created for the program as some of my greatest achievements as a Marketing professional.

Because of the program I was also able to create my own blog, social media and activations services company called Mediactiv8 (https://www.mediactiv8.com/).

I am very grateful to the Lord Almighty, to Ms. Janette Toral, to Ms. Fleire Castro and to the rest of the team of Ateneo-DigitalFilipino for making this “every blogger’s dream” possible for me.

Below are the projects I created under the program:

~ Vanj Padilla, Certified Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur
Full Testimonial

Hello everyone! My name is Vanj D. Padilla (www.pangalaTALK.com). I enrolled in the last two modules of CBEP last year and plan to enroll the 1st module this year to get my certificate.

I live and work in Pangasinan, as a journalist but niched into digital publishing, blogging and social media.

I guess I am the only journalist here to venture into such.

My taking up CBEP last year did wonders into my career. After the course, I was hired as Consultant to the Provincial Government of Pangasinan. I provide social media services to our visionary Governor Amado T. Espino Jr. I take care of his reputation online too.

When the Governor noticed that social media is shaping our community today, he decided to get my services full time and matched my earnings as a service provider.

What I liked about the program was that if you are into social media and blogging, your imagination is your only limitation. Countless doors of opportunities will open to you as an entrepreneur after taking the program.This industry is a fresh one, with not too many service providers crowding up the market. And for sure this will stay and thrive.

My favorite part was being mentored by Ms. Janette Toral – the Philippines’ foremost internet marketing and blogging guru. The partnership with Ms. Toral and Ateneo is an education par excellance.

Here are a few of my outputs since CBEP:

My name is Fleire Mae Castro. I am a social media marketing strategist and solo professional / proprietress runningThird Team Media (https://thirdteam.org/) – a freelance driven, social media marketing agency specializing in outsourcedsocialmedia marketing services. We help provide assistance for international clients in their digital marketing campaigns.I havebeen involved on projects ranging fromstart-ups tosmall business owners. Usually they wanted me to either manageaproject or work on the nits and grits of the campaign itself – and sometimes both!

Since everything I know about SMM is through hardcore self-study and through real project execution, CBEP has helped me paint an idea with how experts like Ms. Janette Toral handle local social media marketing for clients and execute them. In turn, this informed me of how I could improve my services and provide the same services to local clients.The best part about the program is the hands on experience in the campaign executionwhich is what local marketers need to really get the feel of handling social media marketing for clients.

The Siquijor Tour blog at (https://siquijortour.com/) was my project for CBEP and itdefinitelygenerated leads for Eastside Cottages who is the site owner.
