Support Singapore Bloggers Campaign

Hello Everyone~
Last Saturday, I contributed to a video production, We Are Blogger, with other 10 bloggers at Sun Ray Cafe.
I am glad to be a part of it and I guess all of us have fun meeting with each other.

Due to the recent of incident of a blogger demanding for a free haircut and threaten to tarnish the salon's reputation has caused rumors saying that Singapore bloggers just want free stuffs and fame.
Reasons for this campaign is to show you that not every Singapore bloggers are like that!

Press Release:

Local Bloggers in Singapore have gathered to ask the general public to support their craft by sharing their publicity video and to sign an online form. A cause #SupportSGBloggers has been created to let Singaporeans show their support and appreciation for the hard work of Bloggers in Singapore.

The image of bloggers has suffered due to recent controversies on bloggers demanding freebies from merchants such as restaurants or salons, etc. The job as a blogger has always been a difficult and thankless one. To bring the softer, up-to-date and important news to the general public, it demands time, effort, passion and determination to curate & perfect the content.

The campaign hopes to encourage Singaporeans to say 'YES' to the work of bloggers and to recognize the value of blogs and microsites in helping them make their day-to-day important decisions.

Hong Peng, a blogger who blogs at http://hpility.blogspot.sg/, and a director for the publicity video ‘We are Bloggers’ opined ‘This is a very timely and meaningful movement to get Singaporeans’ support on our craft. I have been blogging since 2007 and I take pride in attending events and launches, and bringing up-to-date information to all my readers. I see my job as an important one as it affects my readers’ decisions in all areas of their lives. I blog to see things differently and I hope Singaporeans can see the hard work we put in as bloggers’. 

Wee Heng, a popular blogger who blogs at http://www.aspirantsg.com said, ‘Participating in this video has allowed like-minded bloggers to come together for a common goal, and simply, to share our joy and love for blogging, as this unique craft has been widely misunderstood. All of us have a deep passion and mission for blogging and we ensure our blog entries are professional. We hope Singaporeans can come forward to show us their support in this regard’. 

Singaporeans can access https://www.causes.com/campaigns/70778-raise-awareness-on-the-craft-of-blogging-in-singapore to give their support. The campaign, which has a target of 1000 signatures, ends 31st Jan 2014.

This initiative is spearheaded by The Influencer Network, the fastest Influencer PR Agency in Singapore.
