Your writing:
You writing is GOOD (when you write) but you don’t really produce a good post in months. You posts are good but there appear on your blog once in a blue moon. This is because there are too much guest posts. Either you are using your time to study I understand but not too much guest post pls!

Your UBT Design:
Your UBT is very nice and I even modified it on my blog. The main problem is you don’t have a magazine home page which can make your theme nicer. Besides, like other people said, your UBT is an exact replica of your blog theme which makes your blog not not so unique after UBT is launched.

My 1st Impression:
Damn simple but way too SIMPLE!

How you potray yourself:
My 1st impression of you is that you’re so cool when I visited your blog 1 year ago. I was then a noob in IM and think that you’re my teenage Bill Gates. After that, when I became a self proclaimed pro of making money online in my class, I even told the teacher about you in my oral test when I talked about blogging.

Your Other Stuffs:
Make a change like your theme, a new Carl Ocab Dot Com, launch some fantastic products and so on……………

I hope I didn’t hurt you lol! Don’t leave my interview questions on a side because of these!

Thanks!

Writing: I like how your writing style is quite relaxed and casual; it is quite informal compared to other “A bloggers,” but that is actually a good thing as you seem to be able to approach people without them feeling any bit of rejection. I guess something like that old lady down the road, except this time, it is a kid next door. :)

Design: I like UBT. I don’t have a copy myself (which is why I guess I’m writing this ;)) but it seems to be something like Thesis–extremely flexible and a one size fits all. However, three things I think I’d improve UBT in:
1. Although UBT is supposed to be a copy of CarlOcab.com, I’d still make the default color scheme of UBT as something different; I see so many sites that I could mistakenly see as CarlOcab.com. Red/White/Black UBT should represent here, but I’d say you are slightly losing out on this over time, as more and more blogs are using the same color schemed UBT.
2. Comment design isn’t that amazing. Although a SE friend design and easy navigation is key, you can still make this comment section amazing without killing the two characteristics of UBT.
3. It would be awesome to modify the upper part of the design somehow so that you can have a profile picture somewhere. Approaching visitors in a friend manner seems to be key for UBT and you, but this site feels more commercial than friendly without such a photo of the author behind the blog.

First Impression: I feel that you are a friendly person and someone easy to approach as I’ve had this blog in my Google Reader for ages now and have not missed a post. However, for someone who isn’t like me and stumbled on this blog for the first time, you may feel a bit far to reach. I think the fact that you are young, yet you’ve achieved so much, might be what is creating that wall between you and a first timer. Again, I feel that can be easily fixed with a friendly profile pic or something along those lines on the very first page. I also feel that although this might be a bit deviating from the point of the blog, occasionally blogging about your life as a teen might help make this place look a bit more friendly to a first timer.

Your eBook: I really like how it told me things I needed to know in very few pages. However, I also did get the impression that you *might* have just wrote it for the heck of it. As I do know a thing or two about blogging and monetizing, I was able to put the pieces together. However, I would question if someone who had no knowledge in this industry and simply typed “make money online” in Google and stumbled on this blog would be able to get the full help from the eBook, as the “Master Plan” seems to promise by its name. Maybe expanding on a few details here and there might help. I liked that circular graph near the end of the eBook, but it might be better if you introduced it at the beginning and then started discussing about each of its components.

I wasn’t too harsh, was I? ;)

As in “awe-cub” (somewhat, but you know what I mean), instead of “oh-cab” (where cab rhymes with taxi cab).

Proud to be Pinoy! :-)

just my 2 cents critique..

That is all I got ;)
