Hello guys, good morning to you all!

I found a new network (affiliate) program that Myweb Projects just started.

Do you want to earn a 30% commission each time a company called Myweb Projects creates a website for her clients? Simply join their affiliate program — they call it, network program.

When your referral creates a website with them, you get 30% of that service. As simple as that. For instance, if the person you referred create a website of #80,000 then you have cool 30% of the money. Their payment is 10 days after a successful service and are made between Mondays — Fridays (10am - 4pm). Their is nothing complicated about the registration, I just tried mine now.

Another good thing is that, the company has their WhatsApp number on their form in case you're not sure whether or not your referral used your code. You can simply message them and tell them you brought a client to them and tell them the name of the person or their business.

To join their network program visit https://my.forms.app/faithful/myweb-projects

Or check out their website for any other information. https://mywebprojects.com.ng

NB: I didn't use my referral Id here. I just came to inform you guys to join the program and stand a chance of having a successful referral through any means you want to advertise this company to people interested in creating websites.

Another way for side income!

According to them, they'll be sending advertisement materials occasionally to their networkers such as graphic design, banners, etc. to help the work easy for them. And I think it's a good one.

Richiee9:
Actually that was a good reasoning...but as per what you said about self clicks I asked some of the members on the site and most of them said they clicked using vpn

Yea, it's possible because it changes your IP/location. But to be on the safe side is to avoid whatever will put your account into trouble due to suspicious activities like too many clicks or stuffs like that

Hello Richiee9,

While you can self click your available ads on the star-clicks platform, the HTML embed is not meant to be self clicked but others who click on them will make your money reflect.

The best you can do is perhaps create a post on that blog about how to make money by clicking ads, and paste your html code on the post. Then share your post, you'll likely get clicks from people.

Self clicking won't work because it won't reflect on your star-clicks account.

Imagine if you are being paid for all the buttons and elements you hit online. That would be great right? Yes, because after all, it's your time, effort, and more especially your data as the case may be. But most of the time we spend a whole lot of time on the internet looking at funny jokes, plays, discussions or gist that at the end of the day has not added any money to our wallet or even at least give us a hope of renewing our data when it expires. Here is the good news. So what if I introduce you to what will actually pay you for every click you make? This way, you're clicking for nothing but in exchange for some cents and in turn dollar that you can actually withdraw.

This website is one I discovered and since then I've never forgotten to sign in to my account and do those clicks that bring me money. Since this is actually working I decided to share with you so that you too can be getting something at the end of each day. Nothing is too little. Or better say, little is better than nothing.

If you can get some cents that will become a dollar just by clicking, is it not better than going a whole day without that money or even that knowledge?

If you care to start earning something every day - I mean every blessed day, follow this link now and the steps I'll be outlining below to register.

Step 1: visit http://www.star-clicks.com/?ref=51288359
Step 2: Sign up as a Publisher
Step 3: Fill in the required information and put the referral ID (51288359)
Step 4: Complete your account information (You must verify your email and phone number before you can start earning)
Step 5: Sign in and click on your PPC Ads for the day to earn.

As simple as that.

Earn everyday by signing in and clicking on your PPC ads for the day.

Lacruise:
Payment proof pls

To be able to make withdrawals, you have to meet the withdrawal threshold of $50 but here is what I've got so far.

You can search star-clicks payment proof on youtube to see if you can actually withdraw your money when it reaches the threshold or not.
Like I said in the post, you make cents every day by clicking the PPC ads for the day. It's not a get-rich-quick thing but something very simple and fun (kind of), to do and make some change by doing what you'd still do every day.

You can go through it and see if it's something you want to do.

A lot of people will tell you that you need to follow your passions. The reason for this is that if you are passionate about something then you are more likely to enjoy developing your online business and keep going with it. But this article is curated to help you not just start but run a successful online business. The first step to starting a successful online business is;

Choose The Right Niche For Your Online Business

If you don’t choose the right niche for your online business, then it is very likely to fail. There are thousands of different niches that you can choose from but you need to check that they have the potential for you to build a successful online business around.

If you are passionate about a niche that not many other people are interested in then your chances of making money are slim. There could be a lot of interest in your passionate niche but is money being made from it?

To determine whether a niche is a good one for your online business or not, you need to ask two questions about it:

Is there demand?
Is it possible to make money from this niche?

Take, for instance, if you choose a niche that has very low demand then you are going to struggle right from the start. So you need to check if your niche ideas have the necessary demand. One of the easiest ways that you can do this is to check the amount of search volume that exists for the niche.

You can use the free Google Keyword Planner to check demand. To do this, you will need a Google account (It's free). Think about the main keywords for your niche – what would people type into a search engine if they were looking for information about that niche?

Once you have identified these main keywords, use the Google Keyword Planner to tell you how many searches there are for it each month. You want there to be a few thousand searches at least for the main keywords. The higher the search volume the better.

If there is good search volume for your niche idea then you need to check if people are making money in it. Go to Google and use your main keywords to search. Are there ads for products and services on the first page of the search results?

If you see lots of ads then this is a good sign that people are making money from the niche. You can do another test by using the OfferVault.com website to see what offers are available for your niche idea. If there are a number of offers then this is another good sign. There are other places you check as well such as Clickbank.com.

Go Where the Money is

If your niche ideas do not have a lot of demand or money-making opportunities then don’t despair. Just go where the money is! There are niches that are guaranteed to have the necessary demand and the opportunity to make money. Here are three evergreen niches that tick all of the boxes:

Wealth creation – making money etc.
Health and fitness – weight loss, etc.
Personal development – meditation, self-improvement, relationships, etc.

The demand for these niches is never likely to change. People will always want to create more wealth, be healthier and improve themselves. These are very competitive but they are great niches to be in.

Now let's look at the second way or secret to running a successful online business.

Avoid Overwhelming Offers And Information Overload With Your Online Business

In some niches, there are new product launches every single day. With the make money online niche there is usually more than one new product launched each day. All of the sales products for these product launches tell you that their training will show you that you need to use their tactics to be successful with your online business.

We are not saying that these products do not provide any value. Some of them are really good and will reveal techniques that you will be unaware of. But a lot of these products are the same thing rehashed over and over.

It is hard to believe that in this day and age some of the wild claims made by these product vendors are allowed. Again the make money online niche is probably the biggest culprit with this. There are sales letters and videos that claim that you can make a fortune by using their software and there is hardly any work for you to do.

Turn your computer into an ATM is a classic claim that some of these sales pages make. This is total nonsense of course but it is surprising how many people fall for this. Getting buyer traffic to your offers in under 60 seconds is another classic wild claim. If it seems too good to be true then it probably is.

A lot of sales pages for new products in your niche are going to tell you that you are doing it all wrong and that your current online business will never be as successful as you want it to be. They tell you that you need to join forces with them as the grass is greener over there.

The grass is rarely greener with these programs. There are always different techniques that you can use to improve your online business but what you shouldn’t consider is changing it altogether. It doesn’t matter how powerful the copywriting is on the sales page you should stick with your current business and work on ways to increase your revenues.

Changing from one online business model to another is something that newcomers to online business tend to do a lot. They give up on one model very fast because they are not getting the results they expect. These people are always on the lookout for the next shiny object that will change their lives.

You will never have a successful online business if you keep chopping and changing all of the time. Stick with your original plan and see it through. If you have tried your best and it doesn’t deliver the results that you want then you can think about a change. Changing on the whim of a new shiny object is something that you need to avoid. Also, seek collaboration from experts in your niche who will be willing to help you figure out things. This might just be what you need...

Hello everyone. Please pardon my write up on the "Set & Forget" product . It is misleading and may not serve the purpose as promised. As an affiliate marketer, our job is to look out for amazing products out there that can be of great benefit to potential buyers. Some times the vendors of this products like this one in question may not be sincere with what exactly the product can do or can't do so that buyers get to know what they are paying for and not expect otherwise. They may make so many promises just to drive sales. If you have not purchased this product already, it's a good thing, but if you have you can still put in the commitment it will take to start generating passive income for yourself. Personally, I wrote this post because I was convinced that it was an amazing product but was quite disappointed when I come to find out that it's not as wonderful as the vendor promises from the sales landing page.

I've modified the link of the original post earlier because I wouldn't like to promote what will not be useful to people including myself. As an affiliate marketer, I will do my best to promote what people can use and will be happy with. So, like I said, if you've not already purchased this product, that's good but if you have you can still make it work for you. Is just that all the promises is just too much of a hype, there is still some work to do especially as a newbie.

To learn more about this product and to see a review I made on it, visit the link at the end of the original post.

Thank you!

What if I tell you that 2021 could be a game-changer for you? What I mean is, getting a good source of income without having to work out your life on a 9-5 job. Did I say 9-5? I mean 8-6! You can make easy passive income in 2021 without much hassle. The truth of the matter is that there is no such thing as, “No Money.” That is not a tag to excuse lack and poverty. There’s a whole lot to do in an internet world like ours. Our fathers and great-grand fathers may be excused because they lived in an ‘analogue’ or ‘hybrid’ age where things will only work out for them with hard labor. Today, being smart and with the internet at our disposal, we are fed with so much information and opportunity to the point where we no longer see them as such but a way of life. Why you think there is no money is because you’ve not look for the many ways of acquiring it. If you care to know, because they say, knowledge is power, you can begin to understand the meaning of passive income without much hassle! Of course that’s what passive means isn’t it?

Today, affiliate marketing is one of the ways you can make a good amount of money online and make a whole living just from it. All you need to do is get the right information, know the right sources and setup multiple affiliate streams to earn you that multiple sources of income you desire. But the truth is most people don't know how to go about this whole thing. They are blown away with such information because it arouses the tension of what they are not instead of what they can be. They quickly begin to write off their opportunity; “I won’t be able to do it…”, “I don’t have time…”, “I’m not computer or internet savvy…”, blah, blah…

Now what if I ask you, "Would you like to setup a one-time flow that will keep making you passive online money without the need of doing all the work that comes along with it, such as needing a website or landing pages, social media marketing, YouTube videos, email lists and all of that to drive sales? Your answer is probably, YES-sss!

Who wouldn’t want to? And guess what, you can achieve all of that fit right away with a software professionally designed by developers all for a one-time payment if you can't do it yourself! This is so unbelievable isn’t it?

That's not all. This software helps you setup streams of income to generate sales, you can build up to 4 passive income streams with inbuilt traffic so you don't need to worry about how to get the kind of traffic that will lead to sales, it is 100% automated and easy. Everything is done for you! Sounds so good but interesting! NOTE: This is NOT a trading or FOREX software. Beware of jumping into conclusion yourself. Just read through to the end.

Matthew 28: 19 gives a brief summary of the post - What is water baptism and who can be baptized. It says, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Water baptism is one of the many teachings of Christ among others which every child of God should observe. The things that Christ taught his followers and in turn his church today are very important and sacred that none can be overlooked because these are what mark believers as true children in God's kingdom and also proves their  identification with him. From the text above, Christ mentioned that water baptism should be taught to all nation.

In today's post, I want to state what water baptism is according to Scripture, and how it should be done using Christ as the example. Also who can be baptized and who can't.

Christ submission for water baptism

Matthew 3:13
"Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him."

Christ always made himself the perfect example and model every true child of his should follow. He submitted himself to be baptized by John the baptist even though John wished to be baptized by Him, but Christ knowing the importance of the scriptures and that it should be fulfilled, allowed it before he started his ministry. He practiced what he commands us to so we can have a clear understanding of his precept and how it must be done.

Who should be baptized?

From the account of Mark gospel, Jesus said,

"...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" - Mark 16:15a

Those that should partake in water baptism according to the text above are those that have believed the gospel. This was Christ's charge to his disciples before his ascension into heaven "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved". So we must first believe in Jesus and his sacrifice for our sins before we can be baptized. We also saw that clearly while John the baptist baptized the people at Jordan when they came to him confessing their sins. Repentance from sin comes first before water baptism because it signifies being dead to sin, buried with Christ and resurrection to a new life. We cannot be baptized with our sins present neither can baptism take sins away.

This then mean that, if for any reason someone was baptized before repentance, then it must be repeated when that person come to the knowledge of his or her sin at any point in life because the first was not according to Christ's command. We must be fully aware of ourselves and have gotten to the age where we can acknowledge our sins, knowing right from wrong and can sincerely and penitently ask Jesus to forgive us our sins.
Therefore, water baptism is not for new born, infants, toddlers, sinners, etc. It is for boys and girls, men and women who can and have acknowledged their sins and have come to God in genuine repentance.

How water baptism should be done

From the account of Matthew 28:19 Christ said,
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Water baptism should be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The Godhead plays an all important role in the life of every believer because the salvation they received came by the mercy of the Father through the death of the Son and the sanctification of the Holy Spirit. These Three are united in One. After this is spoken, the body goes down into the water. It is important to note that the whole body is completely immersed in water and brought out ONCE. The nostrils and mouth of the person is properly closed so that water don't pass through.

The wrong way of water baptism

× Baptism by sprinkling of water
× Baptism by pouring a handful or a measure of water on the forehead, or any part of the body
× Baptism by dipping thrice in water — in the name of the Father (one), and of the Son (two), and of the Holy Ghost (three)
× Baptism by dipping in water once before saying, "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"

In summary

Water baptism is a public declaration to the world of your decision to walk with God in newness of life and everyone who has turned a new live can be baptized in water. It symbolizes being dead to sin and being raised again to a new life of righteousness in Christ. It also symbolizes been dead with Christ in his burial and alive with him in his resurrection. Without it, a believer can't truly and completely identify with Christ. That is the reason for its importance and more so, to be done as commanded by Christ who showed us the pattern.

Key point:

√ Christ thought repentance before baptism
This repentance can come when a man or woman, boy or girl become aware of his/her sin and genuinely ask God for forgiveness with an intention of not going back to it.

Have you been baptized? "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." - Mark 16:16

If you have not believed in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and turn from your sins, you cannot fulfill this mandate of Christ except you want to do it the wrong way. But if you have turn from your sins already and still not baptized, you can meet your teacher or leaders in the church and tell them of your readiness to be baptized in water. This shows your obedience to God your Father who has commanded those who believe to get baptized.

"Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him."

Christ always made himself the perfect example and model every true child of his should follow. He submitted himself to be baptized by John the baptist even though John wished to be baptized by Him, but Christ knowing the importance of the scriptures and that it should be fulfilled, allowed it before he started his ministry. He practiced what he commands us to so we can have a clear understanding of his precept and how it must be done.

Who should be baptized?

From the account of Mark gospel, Jesus said,

"...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" - Mark 16:15a

Those that should partake in water baptism according to the text above are those that have believed the gospel. This was Christ's charge to his disciples before his ascension into heaven "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved". So we must first believe in Jesus and his sacrifice for our sins before we can be baptized. We also saw that clearly while John the baptist baptized the people at Jordan when they came to him confessing their sins. Repentance from sin comes first before water baptism because it signifies being dead to sin, buried with Christ and resurrection to a new life. We cannot be baptized with our sins present neither can baptism take sins away.

This then mean that, if for any reason someone was baptized before repentance, then it must be repeated when that person come to the knowledge of his or her sin at any point in life because the first was not according to Christ's command. We must be fully aware of ourselves and have gotten to the age where we can acknowledge our sins, knowing right from wrong and can sincerely and penitently ask Jesus to forgive us our sins.
Therefore, water baptism is not for new born, infants, toddlers, sinners, etc. It is for boys and girls, men and women who can and have acknowledged their sins and have come to God in genuine repentance.

How water baptism should be done

From the account of Matthew 28:19 Christ said,
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"

Water baptism should be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The Godhead plays an all important role in the life of every believer because the salvation they received came by the mercy of the Father through the death of the Son and the sanctification of the Holy Spirit. These Three are united in One. After this is spoken, the body goes down into the water. It is important to note that the whole body is completely immersed in water and brought out ONCE. The nostrils and mouth of the person is properly closed so that water don't pass through.

The wrong way of water baptism

× Baptism by sprinkling of water
× Baptism by pouring a handful or a measure of water on the forehead, or any part of the body
× Baptism by dipping thrice in water — in the name of the Father (one), and of the Son (two), and of the Holy Ghost (three)
× Baptism by dipping in water once before saying, "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"

In summary

Water baptism is a public declaration to the world of your decision to walk with God in newness of life and everyone who has turned a new live can be baptized in water. It symbolizes being dead to sin and being raised again to a new life of righteousness in Christ. It also symbolizes been dead with Christ in his burial and alive with him in his resurrection. Without it, a believer can't truly and completely identify with Christ. That is the reason for its importance and more so, to be done as commanded by Christ who showed us the pattern.

Key point:

√ Christ thought repentance before baptism
This repentance can come when a man or woman, boy or girl become aware of his/her sin and genuinely ask God for forgiveness with an intention of not going back to it.

Have you been baptized? "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." - Mark 16:16

If you have not believed in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and turn from your sins, you cannot fulfill this mandate of Christ except you want to do it the wrong way. But if you have turn from your sins already and still not baptized, you can meet your teacher or leaders in the church and tell them of your readiness to be baptized in water. This shows your obedience to God your Father who has commanded those who believe to get baptized.
