This is a nice and educating thread.

Actually, when I started blogging on BELIEVE ALL I told myself that before I will make it, I must surely spend cash on it and that have given me much needed boost to strive more for success

how do you start blogging and how do you register your domain how much im hoping ton open one for my business any info i will be greatful

1. Know what you want to write about.
2. Craft a domain name you want to use and then buy from any domain registrar
3. Create a blog at blogger or wordpress self hosted depending on what you want

4. Start writing contents and sharing

Ben1975:
If you start blogging for the purpose of making money you may never find it. But if you go into blogging to delight, engage your readers money will find you.

you need cash to pay bills. Both work hand in hand.the cash encourage you to do more. You only write for passion when you have other job that is generating income for you. When you don't have other source, who pays the bill such as domain, hosting, internet data, light etc.at time system may develop fault, who will fix it, you ofcourse. You need cash to pay bills and encourage you. The passion is needed to write quality contents because you have the zeal for it.at first you start with concept of passion but as time goes on, you will realize cash is needed to pay bills and get some stuff fixed. So both passion and money is required

Rightly said. Passion must be channeled into making some much needed cash. At a point, without the cash, even the passion will fade.

hmm

pls how can i link my domain and my blog together? and still retain my template . pls help thank you

Men! So true. My site, kaysrapzone.com, gets only 500 daily views, after I have worked on it tirelessly for the past 7 years. Sometimes I feel like crying. If not that it is my passion and pple tell me all the time how they love my blog, I would have abandoned it long ago.

BlogOxygen:
Hello everyone, TGIF. How's your weekend plans going? Quickly, just because not every blog/site that went on break on Friday will live to see the next Monday morning, here are BlogOxygen's 5 things you need to STOP telling yourself as a blogger/site owner.

1. Sophistication is equal to monetization: This is totally false. Your site can have a very simple design, yet garner enough traffic and sales to drown some more sophisticated sites. It doesn't actually follow. Do you know Nairaland is one of the simplest looking sites and one of the richest in Nigeria?

2. I don't need to invest: Then go ahead and make the money. There's no biz that doesn't require investments. Time and Energy expecially, over money. You'll write articles (probably pay writers), you'll pay for SEO, proofread your posts, etc. Investments are inevitable if you're a serious blogger/site owner.

3. I'll remain on free hosting: Don't let Linda Ikeji hear you say this one. Cyber Squatters are Real! Don't let the #2,500 or #3,000 you'll pay to get your domain name registered, put you in a situation like our dear Linda in future, where you are stuck with your .whatever.com or pay cyber squatters a hefty chunk to redeem your domain name.

4. I'll write all my posts myself: Without trying to "cheap-advertise" here, pls try to be realistic. You would have to pay writers at one point or the other, if you're a serious "looking-to-make-money" blogger. Else, the "after-publishing" tasks of sharing the link on social media, IM publicity, newsletter (for those who send), etc. would definitely wear you out and drain your passion. Except you're a weekly or monthly(period) blogger. Top bloggers know this and so should you.

5. It's been three months. I should've started making the money: Come take a hug. You must have probably read one of those "Make $1,000 in three weeks" ebook and started blogging - sorry about that. You see, there's more to blogging than the Info Marketer explained. But he needs to make his own money too. Doesn't he?... You can even spend six months without making a dime but don't let those months go to waste. Use it to build trust between you and your prospects. Use it to network your blog with other top ones in your niche. It's a matter of once the money starts coming in, it'll be worth the wait. Alright?


God bless every blogger/site owner reading this.

Cheers to your blogging success, be safe and have a great weekend.

Yours,
BlogOxygen.

So many Niche to be covered for the Nigerian/African internet users and everyone is busy writing post/blog.
Do a research,what people are searching for and provide it thereby making money.
If you ask me to give you tips, I can't cos we would be competing then.

Competing? I thought you said there are so many niches to be covered in the Nigerian/African market? If so, it won't hurt if you give me an idea on ONE niche. Abi you wan start 10 blogs at the same time?

another thing you guys should know is that be careful when you are searching for a good unique domain name on whogohost. com because they always steal peoples domains.

how they do it? simple.

as you are typing those domains their boys are at the back monitoring what domains people are searching for. once they see the one that might be a good name. they will quickly grab it before you. trust me they have done it to me several times.

Are you for real?

Wonderful piece.,please my adsense has been deactivated dunno if it can still be reinstated.

Unless you wish to force people to come dash you some cash for advert or better still, pay someone for adsense and click it yourself.
Get banned on 22nd. Lol
Cos adsense pay only on 23rd.

This is the best advice to bloggers/site owners I've ever seen

AdebayoSax:

Did you find any piece of info in the mail they sent to you?

Even if you do, leave for about 6months and apply with a fresh mail having behind your mind your fault and stay away from it

your fantasies and passion should fetch you paper...

I am xo curous to know. is it only. ad. webhosting and the like that a blogger could make money from? what of click by viewer, dont they make dosh too?

Thanks for the info but that's quite an unprofessional and unethical practice. One of the reasons we don't advice hosting on a Nigerian host. Why not try a foreign time-tested host?

AdebayoSax:

Note what you did, especially if you were sent a mail. Correct it and reapply if it's still rejected, Wait for three to five months then reapply.
