People will love to pay just to fit in

Collect kiss abeg. You too get sense. My iPhone subscription still the pain me. Who send me go buy iPhone 13. Android do make life easy

seanwilliam:

Lol. So u expect everything to be free ?

Yes, Nigeria govt, the country that is very wealthy, but we do not benefit from our wealth, only them benefit, if they cant pay us monthly as others do, let them place subsidy on things like the social media, which i know, the philippine govt did it for us some years back, why cant we today benefit from anything in nig.

millionboi:
thy are people who don't make millions from it,so those are the ones to stop.

Then those kinda people don't have business with blue tag ,it's a simple logic.

Moreover it's not compulsory you have the blue tag.

matrixme:
Omo, see beta business strategy! Opens the door, charge people almost nothing to enter, then they get high inside and can't leave, then pay higher to remain inside. If you want a free verified status, go to Koo. If it is still up and running, that is. Let your fans follow you there.
Seun are you thinking what I'm thinking? Sell Nairaland for me now pls. All these tribal bigots and insultive posts will come at a heavy cost. I won't even ban anybody. To post memes lasan, is 200 naira.

Everybody Go Run go Linda ikeji Blog....

chikena!

RichDad1:
Twitter can charge verified accounts £100/month and guys will still pay…because If there’s anything I’ve learnt from Social media…People will pay ANY amount as long as they’re classified differently and appear to be in a higher class!!

Not just social media, society generally.

“The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles."

If you understand this as a unique service provider, you'll make money and stay wealthy.

Pls what is the benefit of having a varfied twitter handle.

Fira09:


SOURCE

Before they can verify your page just know you’re worth more than $20 in a month so it’s nothing

The only advice I will give the wise 1nc is to go and stock dogecoin and keep it

Then wait for few years to be a millionaire

Iliveforever:
Lol

When I said Elon musk taking over Twitter isn’t a good idea because I was sure he would MONETIZE it as a business man, and that exactly what’s happening.

Must you have blue tick?

LienwaltAbel:

YouTube still allows free video downloads.

No they dont.

wink2015:
$20 dollars is a big money in Nigeria going by the exchange rate of N700 to a $1.

Many Nigerian will run away from the monthly subscription by closing their account.

They will go for facebook, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat, tiktok

NA Now we go know who be who Na around 14k NA Monthly ... Going By Present Ruling Rate :

Devil1Messenger:

Reno will not able to afford it for long

you are right, especially if Dubai man doesn't win.

This is what Seun ought to have done on Nairaland.


Monetize front page such that only paid posts and highly relevant posts hits the front page.


Then start a verified account on Nairaland too, and then make the verified users pay a certain year subscription and then add some benefits like:


verified users will qualify to have at least 5 of their threads on front page every month. So it is left for the verified user to submit his most relevant threads to the mods to the screen and select one to be pushed to the front page every week. Do this and watch throlls reduce on Nairaland.


Also verified users will have direct access to private message any member or mod directly without waiting for them to respond to their PM request.



Verified users must have their full details submitted and verified by Nairaland admins before an account can be verified.



Cc: Seun reach out to me let me share more monetization tips to you if interested

You shaa Wan Crash this Site Abi ... If Not For Weyrey and Nigerianess Nairaland would have gone extinct Teytey ....

She is just a Site Representing Nigerian Street and Daily Nigerian Life ... Connect to Nairaland and Feel at Home(Nigeria) from Anywhere around the world with www.

You assume Seun is interested in removing trolls or making more money. He is extremely comfortable with where Nairaland is at the moment.

Kazim88:
Since Elon Musk took over, the media and many woke trolls have creating multiple fake news.

Instead of reporting News or Fact, they are reporting speculations.

"He wants to", "He plans to".... How did they know, were they are the meeting or in his head.

Why not wait and see what he does or leave the platform and go to truth social.

Can you define woke? Many of you just parrot American right wingers? Do you think that the people who use the word woke ,like people like you?

No they are right wingers and nativitists and justify the colonisation of Africa

A business man has taken over... expect hike in subscriptions with better services

Higher prices dont guarantee better services.

Yes, verified confirmed.

Hmm
U are a celebrity
Pls help me

Fireboy02:

Hmm

Pls help me

Help come only from God, me self need help

matrixme:

But Alas, it's not so practical. Nairaland has built reputation and followership over the years that will take a lot from hard work to get such recognition from a new programmer. It's not just about graphical interface and premium features for free.
If not that Seun is always on Twitter fighting with everybody, if he continued with the same tempo here he started with, we will have Nairaland at top 10 websites in the world now.

So Seun get account for twitter?

mooremoney:
Nigerians influencers will leave the app for him. An Igbo man has taken over Twitter

If Una never mention Igbo, una joy can never be complete!

Nsonaso:

The bolded makes me laugh. There are things people consider wasteful, not because they cannot afford them.

So brother forget stage matter, like Peter Obi shoe that cost £59. To you he hasn't gotten to the stage in life to buy £200 shoe.

And for the $20 I spend More than that monthly running Instagram and Facebook ads for my business.

To spend that money for some useless verification is wasteful for me.

hi, can we talk about the Facebook ads. What's the process. Which account do you uses?

Beverages:


Guy, u get up to 60 alternate accounts or how are you able to gather all this likes?

Seems they are plenty.

I dont know why seun is not making security on Nairaland tighter.

Iliveforever:
Lol

When I said Elon musk taking over Twitter isn’t a good idea because I was sure he would MONETIZE it as a business man, and that exactly what’s happening.

But remember twitter is not a charity organization but a business one. You need money to keep business organization rolling

SmartPolician:


Life is in stages. $20 is just #16k per month. That money is nothing to people and organisations that have that verification mark.

If he could afford it, he would pay without complaining. Abraham Maslow calls it the Hierarchy of Needs .

You are Right....

if one is still Struggling for Self-Actualization ,
One won't be able to pay much attention to Esteem (Recognition, status)

Triangles1:


Help come only from God, me self need help

Ahh
U be baba
200k is enough for me.
I can still help in any way u need.

Ask those with iPhone 14 that load 100 Naira Recharge Card. twice a week

lomprico:


Try it and watch nairaland die slowly. Another programmer will create a new site that gives up what we enjoy on nairaland now and there will be mass migration.

Exactly....

franchasofficia:
Seun can ignore if he created Nairaland as a community service and not to earn income and improve his life and that of his generation



I would have loved to buy Nairaland and change things myself if Seun puts it up for sale cos it has a lot of potentials waiting to be harnessed, but I guess Seun is satisfied with what he is getting from the forum so far, its cool still

Oga Sir, Go and Create Your own Forum....

Fireboy02:

Ahh

Don't ask for fish ask for how to catch the fish.

emmydee:

Then a new messaging platform will spring up and people will ditch Twitter. It is as simple as that.

Imagine if WhatsApp begins to charge monthly subscription outside what we have today.

WhatsApp might Monitize Later....
Cheek your WhatsApp Settings....You will see what i mean
