Dear fellow Nairalanders, whoever tells you that real (legit) money can't be made online, doesn't know what he/she is saying.

Just about two months or so, I wrote about my newly published book, which is a book that guide writers on how to write better, principles of writing, plus all the necessary knowledge they need to equip themselves with.

I really didn't get much response (in fact, I think only about 2 or 3 people actually commented here on NL) But I wasn't really after comments anyway - I only wanted to truly transform lives.

I went ahead to share it on my facebook timeline a few times, and guess what!
In the space of two months, this book has made me over #200k in direct sales (basically through word of mouth marketing.)

Honesty, I'm very humbled, not only by the sales, but because I didn't think this was going to become such a success. I'll be honest, I really had doubts when I was writing it, reasons were.
There were a lot of books, articles and blogs that already covered much on this subject, but what I did was to ensure that I poured my heart into this book, and when I finally released it. It began to gradually take off on its own, without any actual marketing campaign other than just randomly posting it on my social media timeline a few times.

Well, I guess this is a wake up call for anyone who's still doubting whether or not they should venture into whatever they've been thinking about for a long time now. Go ahead and just give it a try.
