About The Blogger

My name is Tammy Lim and I am an award winning blogger from Top 10 Malaysia Magazine and Cleo Malaysia Magazine. I have been blogging since 2008 and I am also the founder of a local Malaysian beauty & lifestyle community called The Butterfly Project. People often tell me that I'm a wonder woman, but in reality - if it's something you love, you can do wonders.

When I'm not wondering, I'll be on my computer searching for the next fountain of youth or hunting down a fantastic deal. I'm also a shopaholic, wanderluster, spa enthusiast and proud hipster who loves planning special occasions and surprises for her loved ones.

  • Bloggers Dream Job. A Career Finally.

     looking for a job? are you a blogger?

    You know, I never thought that being a blogger would land me my dream job. To do something related to the style of blogging and be appreciated for it. Long time  ago when kids were doodling cartoons on their note book and their parents parents would say, "Son/Girl [insert whatever name your parents call you] being a cartoonist won't bring food on your plate". Well now, cartoonist or manga artists are increasingly popular in the U.S.A (Marvel, DC, etc) and Japan (manga, anime, etc). They get paid to draw more cartoons.


    Fast forward now, the Internet savvy and social media crazy generation. People blogged as a hobby and some even get paid to blog. However have you heard of careers for bloggers? no I'm not talking about paying you to write advertorials on your blog. I'm talking about real life full time jobs that's suited for bloggers.

    Everyday.com.my first coupon company
    to hire bloggers as editors

    Thanks to group buying sites emergence in Malaysia, I was head hunted down by Everyday.com.my to became an Editor. I did not even dream of switching jobs to one that I love doing- blogging. The only requirement? that you know your thing - blogging. Be it sharing an experience, reviews, your opinions and your life. The whole "blogging" package consist of mainly writing and images, and with that comes the power to attract readers.

    what is Everyday.com.my?

    SO when I became an Editor for Everyday.com.my, my daily tasks was just to finish up two post a day. Sounds real easy right? however since this is a real life career, there are things to take note of. Privacy issues, copyrights, being meticulous, etc and most important of all your post must be electrifying to zap readers. The posts covers either food, beauty, travel and lifestyle. Different topics each day, which keeps your brain juice working creatively. The best part? you finally get paid for doing what you do best!

    Working in a social media marketing company like Everyday.com.my gave me the chance to have a career. I never thought I would be working here and I am so happy that I left my boring job of 6 years in a law firm to become an Editor for Everyday.com.my. We work hard and we play hard - Editor's motto. I am now the Editorial Manager and guess what? I'm looking for more editors to join my family!
