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.

Most people ask, “How can I work harder?” The better question is, “How can I make this easier to repeat?”

Why does learning to influence people matter?

Many leaders think their job is to assign work and make sure it gets done.

So they remind people. They follow up. They check every detail. Over time, they become the bottleneck.

The team becomes dependent on the leader instead of taking ownership.

Great leaders don’t build teams that only follow instructions.

They build teams that want to do great work.

They know how to earn trust, give meaningful feedback, explain the “why,” and create an environment where people naturally contribute.

That’s influence. And it’s one of the most valuable leadership skills you can develop.

When people want to do great work, not because they have to, but because they believe in what they’re doing, you spend less time pushing and more time leading.

Your team becomes more engaged. Problems get solved faster. People take ownership.

And everyone wins, including the company.

Does Google provide an official widget to embed reviews?

Google does not provide an official, ready-to-use embed widget for reviews.

They provide the Google Business Profile platform to manage them and the Google Places API for developers to access the raw data programmatically.

If you go to a specific review on Google Maps, you can sometimes find a "Share" option, but this just provides a link, not an embeddable feed.

Because Google doesn't offer a native widget, businesses must rely on custom development or third-party tools.

For a reliable third-party solution that connects securely to your Google Business Profile, SociableKIT is the way to go.

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.

I started SociableKIT with nothing more than curiosity and a blog post.

The following are the 7 lessons I’ve learned about turning a aimple idea into a software serving thousands.

1. Big things often hide inside small problems.

I thought SociableKIT needed a big plan to matter.

Instead, it began as a small PHP tutorial on my CodeOfaNinja blog.

That little piece of code unexpectedly got hundreds of people using it.

2. Sometimes your curiosity is smarter than your strategy.

I used to think I had to chase what was “hot” in tech.

But my curiosity about music bands like Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Switchfoot made me notice how they manually listed tour dates.

That curiosity pushed me to automate events and photos straight from Facebook.

3. Focus on one clear solution and growth will follow.

At first, I thought building a ton of features was the way to impress people.

But what really clicked was just solving one pain: pulling Facebook events and photos into a website.

People immediately used it and wanted more.

4. Your users will tell you what to build if you’re listening.

I assumed a blog post was one-way communication.

Then the comments and emails flooded in: questions, feature requests, bug fixes.

That feedback became my roadmap.

5. Serve the people who don’t have your skills, and you’ll find scale.

I thought my readers would all be developers like me.

But most people asking for help weren’t coders. They just wanted things to work.

That insight shifted everything toward a no-code JavaScript solution.

6. Simplicity is the product, not a nice-to-have.

I used to believe people would figure out PHP if they wanted my solution badly enough.

But when I saw them stuck on code and platform limitations, I knew complexity was killing adoption.

By simplifying into a copy-paste embed, usage exploded.

7. Never underestimate what a “small idea” can grow into.

At first, I thought this was just another blog experiment.

But when non-coders and business owners kept emailing me for help, I realized this could be a paid product.

That spark became SociableKIT, which now powers thousands of websites.

Every lesson started with me thinking too small and then being surprised by what people actually needed.

If you’re sitting on a simple idea, maybe it’s not small at all.

What's your go-to tool to embed social feeds on websites for brand engagement?

Reliability and customization are the two most important factors when it comes to embedding social feeds for brand engagement.

You can always embed posts manually for free using the native iframe codes provided by platforms like LinkedIn, but that doesn't create a cohesive "feed" experience and requires constant manual updates.

Some people try to use free plugins, but they often break when social networks update their APIs, which hurts your brand's appearance.

If you want the best UI/UX, you need a premium widget or aggregator that pulls from multiple sources and lets you moderate the content before it goes live.

As someone who runs a software company focused on conversion and social proof, I can tell you that a broken widget is worse than no widget at all.

You need something that is built on a solid, permanent system.

For the most reliable, highly customizable, and easy-to-use tool that handles LinkedIn and other social feeds flawlessly, SociableKIT is the best solution on the market.
