Journey to Digital Media
Jun 19, 2021 • 2 min Read
Starting a blog, creating a video, or reviewing a product is never an easy one.
Ang Pinoy had a conversation with two Digital Media Personalities who are successful and being looked up to.
Ms. Kristine Javier, a Physical Therapist by Profession started her Digital Creator career in 2019. It was her love for make-ups that brought her to the Digital Media world. There were mixed feelings for she doesn’t know if there will be people who will watch her product review and follow her social media account. Determined and inspired, she started it, and now has more than 22,000 followers and hundreds of brands.
Ms. May De Jesus-Palacpac has a full-time job also and doing blogging on the side. She started it to share her journey as a mom for she is one happy wife and happy mom. Her pathway to success was never an easy one. She stopped for nine years and resumed during the pandemic. Now, she has a small community for Moms where they interact each other and share ideas and experiences about motherhood.
On their definitions on what an influencer is, “Kristine said “nagiging effective ang influencer sa akin pag nabubudol nila ako sa mga products na ine-endorse nila. Yung tipong mapapabili ka na lang kahit di mo naman kailangan. At nagiging role model ka na rin sa mga followers mo sa mga lifestyle, skin care, at mga products na ginagamit mo.”
For May, “even if you are a small blogger, you are in the position to influence someone. You are in the position coz you have a platform to show somebody what could be possible and potential for them. I guess that’s the new definition now. Pero nandoon pa ata ako sa old definition na hindi lahat ng singers diva, so hindi lahat ng content creators, influencers na.”
