Hi aeon,

I've never participated in any form of online
data entry job so i don't consider myself as
an expert on the topic.

But i think this site might be of help.

Please note that i'm not recommending them
so do your due dilligence before you do anything.

Howdy all,

I've been away from my system for
a couple of days.

I had to hook up with Ewen Chia of
secretaffiliateweapon.com

Ewen is the chap who earned $1.5m (yes
that is one million five hundred thousand dollars)
in less than 48hrs with his super affiliate
cloning program.

I met him this past weekend and learnt
a lot from him. See the picture below.

http://akinalabi.com/with-ewen.html

Now i'm back but i met a commotion on
this thread. I think there is no need for all
that.

Let us just concentrate on the aspect of
sharing our internet marketing knowledge.

So let's get back on track.

kennyuche,

There are many ways to advertise online.

Ezine ads, google ads, article marketing,
doing a press release, froogle etc.

You'll need a foreign address if you want
to register for programs where they do
not accept Nigerians like clickbank.com

Cheers,

Hi kennyuche,

Simply set up a website and write a "wicked"
sales letter to help sell your book.

If you've got different books on different topics,
i suggest you set up a different site for each
book.

If they are all related, you can set up just a site
and sell them there.

You'll need a merchant account so you can
accept card payments.

If you convert any of your books to ebook i
suggest you use clickbank.com, i use them
although you'll need a foreign address.

If you don't want to convert them, i'll suggest
you use 2checkout.com

Remember that after setting everything up,
you'll have to advertise your sites online.

All the best.

Hi Bola,

You asked if i was a warrior. Do you
mean the "warrior forum?"

If that's what you mean, yes, i am.

Let's hear what you've got.

Hi kitaun,

I don't really understand your question.

Do you want to ghostwrite for people? If yes,
you can go to ideamarketers.com and sign up
for an account.

When you log in, there is a link that asks if
you are a ghostwriter. You can move on from
there.

But sincerely speaking, you'll get paid peanuts
for your efforts. If you're a prolific writer, why
not use it to your own advantage by creating
your own products and services.

If i didn't get your question right, please post
it again in details.

Cheers,

Hello again Bola,

I totally agree with you. That's why i
said internet marketing is "any legal
venture that brings you money online"

The problem i usually have with people
starting online is that they want to sell
"how to make money online products"

It's just not right.

You can be a top online marketer without
having anything to do with "how to make
money online"

Those are the kinds of people Yanik Silver
usually line up to talk at his world famous
underground online seminar.

I feel you my friend. Keep up the good work.

I wish you the best.

Hi bolaoni,

IM (i assume you mean internet marketing) simply
means marketing goods and services online.

Then if you want to be broad, you'll say any legal
venture that can bring you profits online.

IM is such a broad topic because new concepts
keep springing up everyday.

You can talk of traffic, advertising, info products
and so on.

You can now start breaking each one up. For instance,
traffic can be broken down to SEO, PPC, Viral marketing
etc.

You can break advertising down to Ezine ads, banner
ads, article marketing.

Just don't get overwhelmed. Pick one or two niches and
pursue it aggressively.

Personally, i sell information products and i spice it up with
affiliate marketing and a bit of adsense.

All the best.

Hi obua,

It depends on what you want to shop.

Also you have to pay a different charge
for the delivery of your product.

inoo,

Thanks for your compliments.

But you did not mention what you
want me to do.

I decided to start responding to people
through this platform so that i don't
have to send mails individually to people.

beelyjay45,

If you want to start marketing afresh, the
first thing i'll advise you to do is learn as
much as you can from as many FREE sources
as possible.

An example of such free sources can be found
at my site at http://www.ecashnigeria.com

It's after learning that you will decide whether
to go into affiliate marketing, adsense or what
have you.

But let me tell you how i started in January
2003.

I was creating information products and selling
them without a website, through emails and
free autoresponders.

You can discover how to do it on this page on
my site.

I wish you all the best.

Hi saintsam,

You've asked a question that is so vast that
i can't answer it in a single post.

Infact, one whole book cannot be enough
to cover everything.

For instance, i have an ebook on affiliate
marketing, another one on adsense and so
on.

As per requiring capital to start, the answer
is a BIG yes. The amount you'll require will
however determine how big or small you
start.

PLEASE don't listen to anyone that says you
can succeed with ZERO capital.

I've got free internet marketing articles you
can learn from.

==> http://www.akinalabi.com/free-articles.html

You can also learn from my FREE monthly internet
marketing ezine.

You can sign up using the link below.

==> http://www.ecashnigeria.com/my-free-internet-marketing-ezine.html

Remember they are all FREE!!!. You've got nothing
to lose but everything to gain.

All the best.

Hi beelyjay45,

I assume you're talking about the offer
where i'm going to write the contents
of people's squeeze pages and autoresponder
messages.

It seems a bit pricey because i'll have to write
for each and every one that takes up the offer.

To be honest with you, $197 is a BIG bargain
and you know what, my assistant is furious
with me for pricing it so low.

I remember borrowing N15,000 to attend a
seminar in Lagos in 2002, and i was travelling
from Ibadan to Lagos for the 5 day event.

Now everything has paid off.

That's why i always say internet marketing is
not for the faint hearted. It's like offline
business.

I know that's why a lot of people will rather
opt for schemes like randomnizers and paid
to read emails.

If you're on a shoe string budget, my "Average
Joe Ezine" ebook can be of help. It will teach
you how you can start your own affiliate
marketing business.

See it at http://www.AverageJoeAffiliate.com/index.html

Before i forget, the $197 offer has been snapped
up with more people practically begging me to
take their money.

I wish you all the best.

Latest Edit
=========

I just read through this thread and I saw that
Seun has deleted my website links.

I'm not complaining though. It's his forum and
he has the right to do it the way he wants.

I suggest we close the thread. Will be better
if it's deleted.

Howdy all,

Since i started posting on this forum, a
lot of people have been asking me lots
of questions about making money online.

I do my best to respond to all emails i
recieve but sometimes i get swamped to the
extent that i don't read some of such mails.

Also, there are times i respond to the same
question over and over again to differnet
people.

Then an idean struck me.

I think anyone who's got an internet marketing
related question should post it here (by replying)
this post so i can answer.

That way, everyone can learn and there won't
be any need for asking questions that have
been treated here.

Questions can be on any aspect of internet
marketing. It can be on ebook publishing,
adsense, affiliate program, reprint rights,
list building or what have you.

I look forward to answering your questions.

All the best.

Hi syber,

Thanks for your post and i'm flattered. Of
course i know Matt and i'm glad i'm getting
reviews the world over despite coming
from Africa.

I won't advise you to try paypal from
Nigeria. I know some people do it but i
won't advise anyone to do so.

You can do without paypal to succeed
online. Just move on without them for
now.

Don't make them your stumbling block
to online success.

All the best.

Akin Alabi
http://www.ecashnigeria.com

You're right wande, my IP does not show Nigeria and
that's because i'm not browsing from Nigeria.

As regards my paypal account, i never log into it
anytime i'm in Nigeria even if i'm going to be staying
for months.

If i've got things to do in it, i wait until i get back to
the UK before logging in.

I just can't risk losing my account.

So wande, send money into another person's paypal
and get paid for it. That's a simple way to do it.

And egoldman. I'm fine. What about you?

All the best.

Akin Alabi
http://www.ecashnigeria.com

For the first time, i totally agree with egoldman.

Please and please, anyone using paypal in Nigeria
find a way to clear it.

Paypal "sat" on my friend's $17,000 because he was
logging in from Nigeria and that almost put him out of
business.

He went to the US embassy and all that but nothing
came out of it.

And wande. You don't need to be a verified member
before you can move money out. I assume you
don't have mega money in there.

If you'll sell at a resonable price, i can buy.

All the best.

Akin Alabi

Hi,

I totally agree with daretayo. Use clickbank.

Although they do not accept Nigerians, you can use
a US or UK address.

As per paypal, forget it. Even if you use a foreign address
they'll still find you out.

Paypal "sat" on my friend's $17,000 so be very careful.

If you didn't know me before, I'm one of the very few
Nigerians who sell ebooks on clickbank.

I sell my book on affiliate marketing for $27 and i've not
had any problem so far.


I wish you all the best.

Akin Alabi

EDITED: 2CO is getting better all the time. They can even
process paypal payments for you without you having a
paypal account.

And they will even provide you with a debit card where
they will deposit your earnings. It's beautiful.

Hello everyone,

Note: This is not a sales pitch. I'm not asking you
to buy anything.

As you probably know, some people make good
money online every single day. If you are one of
us, I say congratulations. If not, then I urge you
to evaluate your position.

I've found out that there are (3) three groups of
Internet marketers. Determine the group or groups
you belong and make the necessary adjustments.

1) THE WATCHERS.

The watchers are those who monitor the goings
online. They will be the first to inform you that Yanik
Silver is about to hold his second underground online
seminar or Michael Cheney has just launched his
Adsense Videos.

They know what is happening in the Internet marketing
world but ask them what they their business is online,
they freeze.

2) THE BUYERS.

These are those that buy all the products on offer everywhere
online. Ebooks, softwares, membership sites and so on. Their
hard drive is begining to gather dust from all the ebooks on
it. They spend their hard earned money everyday.

Sometimes they read the products and most times they don't
touch it at all. They suffer from information overload.

3) THE SELLERS.

These are the ones we call "gurus" online. Every now and
then, they churn out new products and we all buy. We hear
and read their success stories and silently wish to be like them.

That's the group where you'll find the likes of Yanik Silver, Jim
Edwards, Charlie Page and lots more.

So which group do you belong?

I suggest you belong to the three groups. It's important to monitor
the ongoings online, it's equally important to buy quality information
products, but it's extremely important to sell online.

You've got to sell online. Whether through affiliate programs, selling
reprint rights or creating your own products. The lesson is you've got
to sell.

I hope you learnt a thing a two from this piece.

Thanks for reading and I wish you the best online.

Hi zogo,

I've got a big advice for you.

Please de-emphasize the issue of money. Firstly,
think about building an internet business then
the money will flow.

True, we all want to make money and that's why
we are all online. But build a business first by creating value.

Because of this "make change online" rush, we
have people parading "yeye" schemes like paid to
eat and paid to sleep,

So you really have to start thinking about building an
internet business. I teach that with my free ezine
on my site.

I hope this piece did not dissapoint you.

All the best,

Hi goldenceo,

To get google ads, simply register for
google adsense.

Go to google.com/ads and click on adsense
on the right side. There you can register.

Google will review your site and start providing
you ads within a week if you qualify.

You should qualify as long as your blog is up
and running.

Google will provide you with HTML codes you
will place on your site. The ads will automatically
match the contents of your site.

I wish you all the best.

Akin Alabi
http://www.ecashnigeria.com

Hi zogo,

There are two major ways to make money
through google.

Google Adwords and Google Adsense.

Adsense refers to streaming ads google
provide for you on your site like the ones
you can see on this site.

You get paid everytime those ads gets
clicked.

Since you don't have a website, you cannot
do adsense.

As per adwords, they are the small ads coloured
blue you see on the right side of google searches.

For example, if you search for the term "web
hosting" you will get two sets of result.

The major one on the left and the ones on the
right.

You can place those ads to promote affiliate
products so you get paid for every sale you make.

Please note that you pay google everytime
your ad gets clicked. But you will be the one to
set how much you want to be paying.

I never advise anyone to do adwords without
a website. I'll prefer a situation where you'll
have at least a squeeze page where you'll
direct your traffic to before sending them to
your affiliate offers.

That way, you will be building your opt in list
you can market to over and over again.

I wish you all the best.

Hi Seun,

Let me tell you why i want to give out my secrets to
strangers and for free.

I'm going to be honest here,

If i give out info on how to make some money online,
i'll have more people out there who will respect me and
still buy from me in future.

Let me give you an instance.

Not too long ago, i trained 5 Nigerians for free on how to
sell information products online.

When they started the business and started profiting, they
never hesitated to buy my backend products later,  and
some of those back ends cost as much as N25k

Now everybody wins,

They learn from me for free, i sell more of my backend
products, i gain more credibility as they all give me
testimonials everytime i launch new products.

You see?

Then kodewrita,

When we talk about affiliate programs, who is talking about
18 cents. What 18 cents?

We are talking about good margins from $10 to as much as
$100 per sale. Come on.

Just yesterday, i sold 2 copies of the "affiliate project X" and i
netted $87.20 in the process.

If you consider that that ebook is one of the numerous products
i promote online, you'll understand what i'm talking about.

All the best.

Akin Alabi
http://www.ecashnigeria.com

Hi all,

Although this message is meant for Seun, every "nairalander" can
still benefit from it.

Seun, you mentioned in one of your posts that it's easier selling
richard cards on the streets of Lagos that promoting affiliate
programs.

You see, I'm one of those that drum it into the ears of Nigerian
online weakth seekers that there is nothing like easy money
online. All these schemes being promoted here and there
are just plain garbage.

But if you know about affiliate marketing very well, you'll know
that you can do it if you know how to.

You're highly respected in this forum as the "oga patapata" so
such comments can only discourage those that genuinely want
to learn the ropes.

I make money everyday with affiliate programs so doing it to
me is not an impossibility.

All the best.

Akin Alabi

Hi,

You can register a paypal account at their site paypal.com

To get a US address, just go to google and type in
US forwarding addresses and click search.

Alternatively, if you've got a friend or relative in the UK, you
can use their address.

I can help you fund it when you've opened it.

But be very careful as paypal checks on the IP of their users. Make
sure you never log into your paypal account from a connection
whose IP reveals Nigeria.

All the best.

Akin Alabi
http://www.epayassist.com

That's quite simple.

You credit my paypal account and i'll pay you
in Naira.

It amazes me that Nigerians are hoping to make money
online through get paid to read, get paid to click, get
paid to eat and all those nonsense.

As i always say, you can earn a few cents from it but
you can NEVER build a successful online empire from it.

The secret to succeeding online is by creating and monetizing
your own products and services.

Ensure you do the following to succeed.

- Craete your own products
- Build your optin list.
- Promote other people's products for a commission
- Build websites
- Use some adsense
- Buy and resell reprint rights or use them as gifts for your website visitors.
- Advertise your websites continously. And more.

One more thing.

There is nothing like make millions online without spending a kobo
while sleeping. If that's what you're looking for, then online
business is not for you.

The truth is you have to WORK HARD to succeed online. You have
to spend time and some money to run it.

I put in a lot of hard work to create my profit pulling websites like
http://www.akinalabi.com as well as http://www.averagejoeaffiliate.com

Even my jokes website http://www.laughtergalore.com no be joke.

A word is enough for the wise.

All the best.

Akin Alabi
http://www.ecashnigeria.com

Howdie all.

This topic is really interesting and here is my own simple solution
to the whole fiasco.

Before you allow someone to show you how to make money online
the person must prove he earns it as well.

For instance if nairaland owner (Seun) says he wants to teach you
how to create forums and monetize it with adsense, then you
better listen to him. We all see that he is a doer and not a talker.

As an internet marketer myself, i sell only products that deals with
the things i've done.

Do your due dilligence and don't throw your hard earned money
away so easily.

All the best.
