Hi Nairalanders I am Dealwap the founder of Naija Coders Team (wwww.nct.com.ng).

LETS TALK ABOUT BLOGGING

Blogging has become very popular among Nigerians, especially after the news broke out that popular Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, bought a 2015 Range Rover for 25 Million naira and a house in Banana Island for around 500 Million naira. It opened people’s eye to how lucrative blogging can be.

WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog is a website or webpage that is regularly updated with information. The information can be on anything: entertainment, health, money, sports, education, etc. The information is usually written in a conversational style so readers can enjoy it.

HOW IS MONEY MADE FROM BLOGS?
You can make money from blogs in three ways: advertisement, sponsored posts and eBook sales. Let me explain this to you so you will understand.
If you are consistent with your blog and you are getting good traffic to it (traffic is number of visitors viewing your website), then advertisers will pay you to place adverts on the blog so that your site visitors can see it. The most popular of the advertisers is Google and it is called Google Adsense.
The adverts that will be placed on your website is always related to the type of content you post. This is to ensure it will catch the attention of those reading the contents of your blog.
The second revenue source which is through blog posts is simple: people pay you to write a particular content that will promote them. For instance, if you own a music blog, an upcoming artiste can pay you to write a biography or review of him and his music.
The third revenue source like stated above is by selling eBooks. If you are consistently blogging about a particular content, people begin to see you as an authority on the area. You can write an eBook on that area you are known as an authority and sell to your website visitors. Because they already trust you, they will buy from you since they know you cant sell junk to them. Example is a women’s health blog selling an eBook on how to increase your butt size naturally.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?
First, you need to decide the niche you want to be blogging on. Being a jack of all trade will make you master of none and you will be swallowed in the pool of thousands of blogs in existence. So you should choose a particular area you will be consistently blogging on. Example of niches include: women’s health, entertainment, sports, politics, technology, etc. Just choose an area you are passionate about and will enjoy writing on.
Secondly, get a blog. You have two options ere. You can buy a domain and hosting from web hosting companies so you can build your blog on it. You can also go for a free blog where you don’t need to pay. Example is blogger.com and
If you are serious about blogging, you should go by the first option. This will enable you choose your own domain name like www.nct.com.ng instead of having a domain like www.nct. which is what you will get when you go by the free option.
Thirdly, create a social media page for your blog. This will enable you build a fan base from social media and drag the traffic on it to the blog page. If you will choose just two social media platforms to go, choose Facebook and Twitter.
Fourthly, start posting good quality content on the blog. Don’t just copy and paste content from other website. Write your own and if you must copy other site’s content, make sure you rewrite it so you can pass plagiarism test. Not doing this will make your ranking on search engines go low.
Also, be consistent with your posting. Posting once in a week will not take you anywhere. If you can, post new contents daily on the blog. That way, your readers will be coming back to see new content from your blog. It will also help your ranking on Google’s search engines.
Fifthly, promote your blog. Don’t believe anybody that tells you that you can grow very big on blogging without promotion. So you must promote it vigorously. Use the social media platforms to promote your content and post on popular forums. If you want to grow faster, pay Facebook and Google for adverts. They will make your blog more visible.
Sixthly, when you start having good traffic, begin to monetize the blog. By monetize, I mean placing adverts on it so you can make money. I have already described the sources of revenue above.
Please, don’t start a blog today and begin to monetize immediately. Build your traffic first, and then you can monetize it. If you have the traffic, then making the money will not be a problem.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE?
It depends on your traffic. You can make thousands of dollars monthly and you can also make hundreds of dollars. The bigger your traffic, the bigger the money you will make. This is my reason for telling you to build traffic first.

WHAT ELSE?
Now, lets get interactive. If you have any question, drop it in the comment box; i, or someone else will give you an answer!

Ask your questions here I will answer all ASAP!

The template you are using is poorly designed. example of a responsive website is www.nct.com.ng if you visit that website with your phone you will see that it fits to your device screen and you don't need to scroll left and right before you see things clearly the same thing go for the PC display.

A friend of mine wanted Me to test a hosted Adsense on my blog site. He said I have to Remove myself first as admin, which I did. I used his own account to enter. To cut the long story short, I generated the Adsense code with the account he gave me, use it to create a gadget. But everything was blank, one of my colleagues suggested we integrate into the site. No problem with that, since the Adsense is just for testing, I wanted to remove the guy account, and be using my initial account to login to the blog. After sending invite to my initial mail, I accepted, if I should check the dashboard, I won't see the mail being added as the author. I have done it like two times now, but it's just proving difficult. Please help
