Mike Dalisay Software Engineer turned Entrepreneur | Building SociableKIT, Webynize, and Codalify | Sharing insights on business, leadership & growth. Hi, I’m Mike Dalisay.

I’m a builder. A problem-solver. A curious mind who turned a simple idea into a successful business. But this isn’t a story about overnight success. It’s about persistence, learning, and sharing what works. From Tutorials to a Thriving Business:

Years ago, I started Codeofaninja.com—a coding tutorial site born from my love for programming and a desire to help others. For three years, I struggled.

I tried every monetization strategy I could think of. Nothing worked. Then, I stumbled on an idea. I could sell the source codes from my tutorials. I set up an online store, uploaded my first code, and went to bed. By morning, two strangers had made a purchase. That was the spark. My first online business was born. Building SociableKIT:

That small win turned into something bigger. Today, I’m the co-founder and CEO of Codalify, the company behind SociableKIT. We build software that helps creators and website owners increase engagement by embedding social media feeds on their websites. Thousands of businesses use SociableKIT to drive growth and save time. This wasn’t luck. It was years of trial, error, and relentless focus on solving real problems for real people. What I’ve Learned:

- Small, consistent steps win the race.
- Failure is not final. Failure is feedback.
- Building something meaningful takes patience, persistence, and courage. Every challenge I faced taught me something valuable. Now, I’m sharing those lessons with others. A Few Fun Facts:

- I grew up in a small village in Rizal, Philippines, where I played with rocks and insects and dreamed big.
- I’m a lead guitarist. Slash is my hero.
- My chess rating is 1400 (on a good day). Beating my father's 2400? Still a dream.
- I built Codalify with my wife, Marykris. She’s been my biggest supporter from the start. Join Me on the Journey:
Today, I’m focused on leadership, business, and mindset. I share what I’m learning about:

- Leading remote teams effectively.
- Growing a SaaS business sustainably.
- Developing a mindset to tackle challenges head-on. If you’re building something meaningful—or dreaming of starting—I’d love to share ideas, strategies, and lessons to help you move forward. Let’s grow together.

New day, new website widget!

A hibachi private dining and entertainment business in Arizona, USA just leveled up their website.

They added SociableKIT’s Google Reviews widget right on their homepage.

Now, visitors instantly see thousands of glowing 5-star reviews the moment they land on the site.

Here’s why it matters:

- More reviews on display → more trust.
- More trust → more bookings.
- More bookings → more revenue.

When people see proof that others had an amazing time, they’re more likely to book their own experience.

Don’t hide your happy customers. People believe people. Let your customers do the talking for you.

5 Lessons I’ve Learned About Taking Responsibility Early

Early in my career, most of my income went to family expenses and debt. That weight forced me into entrepreneurship sooner than I expected.

1. The pressure you carry is the push you need.

I used to see responsibility as a heavy burden. But providing for my parents, siblings, and future wife showed me it was also fuel.

The weight made me think bigger than just surviving on a paycheck.

2. Hard work alone isn’t enough if the system has a ceiling.

I once believed working harder at my job would solve everything. But no matter the overtime, the math never worked. Debt piled up, bills grew, and hope shrank.

That realization opened my eyes to entrepreneurship.

3. A single sentence is enough to change your direction.

I didn’t expect wisdom to come from a random TV show. But hearing, “Those people are rich because they’re entrepreneurs,” flipped a switch in me.

It was the moment I stopped accepting being stuck.

4. Clarity comes from doing, not from waiting.

I thought I needed to have everything figured out before starting. Instead, I chose to move forward without all the answers.

That first imperfect step into entrepreneurship was my real turning point.

5. The pressure that feels heavy now might be shaping your strength.

I once wished I had less weight on my shoulders. But I realized those very responsibilities forced me to grow faster than I wanted to.

They became the reason I didn’t quit when things got hard.

Looking back, I see that responsibility didn’t trap me, it guided me. If you feel the weight, don’t run from it. Let it be the reason you start moving.

New day, new website widget!

A fine art studio in Washington, USA just added something powerful to their site.

They used SociableKIT's Eventbrite Events widget - right on the “Classes & Events” section of their Wix site.

Visitors can now see upcoming drawing workshops, painting sessions, and art classes instantly.

Here’s why it matters:
- More people see the schedule = more people sign up.
- More sign ups = more tickets sold.
- More tickets sold = more revenue for the studio.

The widget works like a shop window. It grabs attention and funnels people straight to checkout.

If you sell tickets, classes, or events, don’t hide them behind clicks. Put them front and center.

The easier it is to see, the more money your website makes.

Rejection is free market research. Stop whining. Start adapting.

Most people see rejection as a wall. I see it as a test, one that separates those who quit from those who adapt.

Back when I ran the Codeofaninja website, I poured my heart into writing programming tutorials.

Inspired by bloggers like 9lessons, I dreamed of earning $2,000 per month with Google AdSense.

Google didn’t want me. I got rejected. Again. And again. And again.

Each email felt like a punch to the gut. I asked myself, was my work not good enough? Was I wasting my time?

But instead of giving up, I treated each rejection as feedback. I refined my content, adjusted my strategy, and kept moving forward.

The breakthrough came when I finally got approved.

But that “victory” wasn’t what I expected.

Traffic was low. Revenue was barely a trickle. AdSense wasn’t the golden ticket I thought it would be.

Still, it wasn’t a total failure.

- It was data.
- My audience was real.
- My work had value.
- I just needed a better way to monetize.

That realization opened the door to selling source codes, and boom, that worked.

The income I once only dreamed about? I finally achieved it.

Failure isn’t the end. It’s redirection. Every rejection is feedback pointing you to a better path.
