Hi and welcome to the first installment of SavingsPinay Weekly Notes! I was inspired to create a weekly post that in

volves only links concerning personal finance and other money matters that are worth the click. I hope with these posts you’ll be more inspired to take charge of your finances. I’ve had such an amazing time searching and reading the posts I compiled in this Weekly Notes #09 | The Best of Personal Finance Tips and Must-Reads.

But first…

Last June 11 I, being the owner of Izza Glino Weddings and Events, and my siste/co-owner Ellie became part of the grand launch of Business World’s SparkUp PH.

 

 

SparkUp PH is the first multimedia platform designed to serve as a source for business knowledge. It is created and designed for the next generation of business people.

You can visit the site and read a daily content hashtag categorized in the following topics/stories:

 

#MoneyMonday – Tips on money management, with the latest news on saving, investing, and spending;

 

 

 

#TrendingTuesday – Insights on the latest trends and their impact on entrepreneurs and consumers;

 

#WorkingWednesday – Workplace stories and tips for the Gen Y and Gen Z’s work ethics and career outlooks;

#TakeoverThursday – An insider tour of a 

 

day in the life of the members of the Sparkommunity;

#FreshFriday – Stories on the lighter side of business.

Aside from stories created by its team of journalists, SparkUp will also deliver insights from industry icons called Sparkfluencers who are young and trending business influencers who have made it to the top.

They will write columns and speak live in events to foster learning and inspiration. In order to boost awareness of business terms, SparkUp introduces Sparktionary. This built-in dictionary provides digestible definitions through interactive executions readily available for every reader.

If you sign up at sparkup.ph/signup you will be given the ability to contribute your own content, highlight passages of interest, take down notes, bookmark stories, and participate in a gamified platform.

And the platform is very much free for every Juan and Juana to use.

I am inviting you all to visit sparkup.ph. If you are looking for an avenue that can spark up the inner #girlboss and/or #boss on you then the site is everything you need.

Aside from the website – Sparkup.ph, they also have social media pages like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They are also set to release a quarterly published magazine which I’m excited about.

SparkUp will also regularly hold a series of events aimed at empowering the Sparkommunity. Among these events are entrepreneurial summits, pocket forums, campus activations, start-up competitions, and case-study activities. These will enable members of the Sparkommunity to learn, meet up, network, and find potential partners.
