2020 is the toughest year in our 15 years of blogging career—marked by the global Corona-19 pandemic, the Taal Volcano eruption and the crash of the global and local economies, especially the food and travel industries. This is also the most innovative reset, reminiscent of the time when blogging and social media technologies started during the Web 2.0 days of 2005.
This is the worst year in terms of monetization for the blog, but this is also an awesome year for future-proof innovations for the next decade.
Here are the 10 Best of Blog Posts of 2020 in Our Awesome Planet:
1). Top 10X Business Trends for the 2020 Decade!
The pandemic introduced a new world order and advanced technological innovations to fight Covid-19 that offered investing opportunities in 2020.
Learning how to Globally Invest on 10X Trends was the most awesome skill I learned, unlocking the milestone of 140% return. We were able to teach more than 300+ students on the Awesome 10X system to build long term wealth during post-Covid times.
Awesome thanks to our partner Nikki Yu @facelesstrader for this blessing!
