₦airaland Forum

After sign up with madmini and log in, I admire the user interface…..is simplicity and ease of access. Like many other email marketing companies….there are limitation to what you can actually do and can’t do with your free account.

But that wasn’t my concern anyway, since I just want to walk around a bit before upgrading to their pro plan which start at $10 per month for a list of 500 subscribers.

Just read on, you’ll read and understand why an “affiliate marketer” shouldn't just walk away from MadMini but “RUN” quickly for a better email marketing software company.

If your Internet business depend on building email list of subscriber, you need to read this case study review about MadMini.

Nairaland is a company?

Lols... My f*ck

What is the meaning of a company?

Don't you know that many of these what "YOU" believe to be an ordinary website are registered establishment with the federal government of their respective countries and abide by the local laws?

How many hundreds of employees do you think work for Google, Facebook, CNN, Amazon etc? In any place where you have more than one person working to provides the public with goods and services,....you already have a company.

Bro, if you want to make it in internet marketing....I advice you start seeing your "blog/website" as a "business" and not a blog or website you believe it is.....and you should have that vision, plans, strategies and whatever that will make you one day have a blog/website that would start employing people and pay their salaries.

Goodluck!

What do you think a business website is? What can you call organization like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Ebay, CNN, etc. They are company bro. It may interest you to know that some of these website have more people working for them than most offline companies.

This is a team work.

This is not a small project, it is a big one.

This needs everyone to be here so that we would discuss one on one on what each everyone of us can publish.

Fine, but following the present condition of this country - Kidnapping, Murdering, Ritualist, Missing persons etc...I would advice you arrange for either skype, or any video chat group or better go for writers in your locality.

My perceptive though.

I know there are lots of plugins which can do this but that is not want i want. can somebody throw more lights on this or how i can learn the core search engine optimization.

SEO is a process and much of it, you will grow better as you aged in internet marketing. SEO is not a point and kill stuff, it evolve overtime and as search algorithm changes, so also some working technics no longer in practice.

You are asking two questions at the same time....you haven't know how to create a website, you're asking what will be your profits?

Learn the skill and master it first, only then you can demand for profits. Is it WordPress you want to learn or coding your own webpage?

Hello my oga's I'm the owner of ngreports.com a website that blogs about almost everything in life....

Please could there be anything I can do,,, becos it wasn't like this b4, I do see my titles and posts appear well on seo,, Help Help Help!

I just check your site now in Google and everything seems to be okay, maybe you check on another browser or network.

Affiliate marketing is good to make money online before xmax, but there are certain issues you'll need to consider before jumping in.....(1)Are you into it already? if you've not tried it before, don't consider it an option. There are many factors that leads to making a single cents from affiliate marketing and not just the offer.

My best option for you is the hardest of them all, but if you have what it takes to pull it off, you're guarantee of money before xmax. This is it....find an audience that is seriously in-need of a solution to a problem, locate where the solution is, and finally, package the solution and sell it to them.

I know this is easier said than done, but in my little experience online...it is one of the most surest way that leads to making significant amount of income online if everything falls in to their rightful place.

Getting Started with CPA

What is CPA and why should you go after it?

CPA (cost per action) is an offer that you put in front of a prospect
and when they perform a simple action (put their email in, or zip
code) you get a commission.
Rule of thumb with CPA is the more info that the prospect is
required to put in, the higher the commission (from 90 cents up to
$180).

Its success relies, pretty much like any other affiliate marketing, on
this little formula…..

Traffic MATCHED Good offer = Sales

The beauty with CPA is that most offers don’t even need the
prospect to buy to get a commission BUT if you don’t have the right
traffic going to it, it ain’t going to work.
Plenty of people are making plenty of good cash with CPA and that’s
what I’m going to let you in on.

Finding a Killer Offer

1) Head on over to MaxBounty.com or Peerfly.com
2) Apply- there is an application process. Be honest, if you have a
website include it. If not, tell them that you plan to set one up and
drive traffic using PPC, Facebook, email and banner ads.

*Say a big “no” when they ask “will you use incentive offers”.

3) Don’t wait for them to call you, get onto them straight away.


Do that right now and let's see if you are able to get accepted.

Waiting!!!
they’ll accept you no worries.

How do you drive traffic to a downloads offer?

Is been so long I last posted here...due to a very busy blogging career and so many other issues at hand. Today, I have an article I want to share with anyone who is having it difficult to drive organic traffic from search engines; that also have a blog that is backlinks profile is not that quality.

Links are vital to a blog credibility, but driving organic traffic from search engines doesn't have to be that difficult even if your blog's backlinks profile doesn't match that of authority blogs out there.....you can still compete with them on "some search terms" and still rank on the first page of SERP.

The article contain part of what I did to rank on first pages of search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo for same keywords with sites like QuickSprout, Daily Blog Tips, ProBlogger, etc, for many search terms that has a global monthly search of 27,100...8,100..12,000 etc.

The points listed in the article are good and will bring positive results if you already have a blog that is loved by search engines and your human visitors. A blog full of quality useful content that solves targeted audience problems.

If you have such blog, but lack organic search traffic...read this article!

11 Effective Ways to Increase Search Engines Traffic Without Backlinks

I was sitting in my living room watching mtvbase, when this scary thinking or imagination come up in my mind.

Bloggers are known to be one most creative people living on the face of the earth. On the other hand, musicians, are very respected for their great creativity too.

Bloggers take a single line in an event, turn it into a full fledge information for the public to learn from. Brainstorming is the smart bloggers weapon of ideas, bloggers are creative people.

I love the way the musicians do their thing too, they educate, inform, entertain, and engage the world at large with their unending talents. You just can’t take them out of this world.

The way both artist takes on trending topics to their respective industry and transform it into something entertaining, educative, and engage their audience with it, is pretty amazing.

A friend of mine on Facebook once said; you need to read good books, also, you need to listen to good music, they both need good lyrics to really grab the attention of their targeted audience.

Both depend on some abilities to really display their creativity to its fullest; hardworking, networking, reading, writing, entertaining, charming, learning, exploring, researching, engaging, educating, thinking, technicality, etc.

Though, one uses most of the above mentioned abilities than the other, but they both need a good percentage of it to reach the sky.

Well, I don’t want to be the judge in this, you know why? I blog too, and I guess that makes me a blogger. I would like to leave it up to you to decide. Who do you think among these two crazies people, is the most creative?

Thanks in Advance.

I have heard a lots about how important it is to start your blog based on your passion and not money. Well, you’re about to know why you should start blogging for money and not passion.

Before you start throwing stones at me, wait and hear me out. I have my reason which if you endeavor to read through, you may have to re-think on why passion will not see you through building a successful blog.

I know, just like you that not only in blogging that every inventory or successful business idea start with a simple ideology and behind that there is one strong reason, “The Passion to succeed”. I have blogged now for over a year and most tell you between this period, I have learned a lots more than one could learn in 5 years combined.

I recently read a blog post on John show’s blog titled “Blogging without Passion : Can you make money like that?”.

In this post, the author, “Micheal Chibuzor” tells how important you should be clear on what really your passion is if you’re to start your blog based on passion. How some confused trending to what really their passion is. They follow trend and mis-interpret on the strong fact they do not realize what their passion.

He talks about how some succeed in some internet business model like website flipping, make money online niches, niche blogging, they are not really passionate about these niches but went into it for the money. And the good news is they meet their target.

Blogging Based on Passion.

People who follow this path to starting their blog may or may not really know what blogging is all about.

They listen to what their teacher said; Start your blog based on what you’re passionate about. Yes, that’s what we’re all told initially, but after couple of months blogging, the passionate blogger knows first hand that it takes more than writing blog post to build successful blog.

It takes more of marketing, social media marketing, word of mouth, SEO, at least one should know the basis of it to build a blog that is popular and command authority online. But the passionate blogger refuse to accept this fact and fundamentally believe that the key to building success with blog lies in content creation alone.

I see two downside to this path of starting a blog :

#1. What If there is no market for your passion?

Except you’re new to internet marketing, you must have come to know that not every topic is a killer online. In fact smart internet marketers has come to no the benefits of surveying the market first before lunching or creating his product.

Not all niche or internet business model has a hungry market waiting to hear what you have to say. Using the Google keyword tool will give you a clear understanding of what am talking about .

#2. What if the Market Is already Saturated?

Blogging in Nigeria has made me understanding this fact clear enough that you don’t go into a market that is already saturated. Most bloggers in Nigeria are either into entertainment and celebrity niche, gossip, news, fashion, event and occasion just about things of this stuff.

Now, the questions are :

If this is your passion, will you still go into it?
Do you have what it takes to out run your competitors?
Are you ready to share the money with everyone in the industry?

If you’re still keen on blogging in such saturated market, you must be ready to do more than what your competitors are doing now.

Blogging for Money – The New Wave

A good harmful of bloggers who do well start with their blog based on passion, but what if your passion also is to make a living from your blog. I mean start making money to see you live full-time on it? I guess you understand the strong reason money holds in everyone’s life.

Many blog that was built upon the old school teaching “passion” where no longer alive on the net today anymore. The bloggers behind them eventually get tired and lost the passion to continue when they could no longer sustain the blog on passion alone. Is clear to them why they need money to run it like a real business.

Except you’re blogging just for fun or hubby, then passion alone is enough for you to see your blog grow. If you’re serious about building business with your blog, I mean you’re not creating blog but you’re building business with your blog, then money must be the reason you’re into it.

Who else want to start a company around passion and not expecting to make profits from it? When that company gulp a big chunk of your money and doesn’t bring you return, can passion alone sustain it?

Take the freelance industry for an example; most people in the field don’t have passion for writing but hey! they do it for the money and are really doing it well.

Most people who work day job don’t like doing it for another day but still do it for another and are making money from it. Money is a strong factor that if is the driven force that keeps you going, then there is every tendency you’re going to achieve your goal.

Darren Rwose Blogging Journey : A case Study

Read Darren Rwose’s ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income . In this special detailed book, Darren talked about how he started his blogging career on curiosity and how his wife and him where monitoring the situation to see if this new hubby of him would transform into something reliable.

What I learn from his story was if he hadn’t make money from his new hubby as when he did, he would have found himself another paid job. Now, I assume you admit it, passion alone wouldn’t have seen him become the blogger he is today.

He talked about how he manage to increase his Adsense earning each months to make sure things went his way. No matter how passionate you’re with starting a blog, if you’re not making the kind of money you want from it, only time will tell.

Darren saw an opportunity in the rise of twitter, he created twitip, to share in the opportunity presented by twitter. I don’t think he had passion in creating twitter tip blog, he only saw an opportunity in it and went for it. The Money Factor

What Does A Blog Mean To You?

I don’t know about you, to me a blog is an office, a company, a store, an apartment where you work every minutes 24 hours a day the running of your business. A blog is an equivalent of an off-line offices where we have staffs, CEO’s, secretary, store keepers and so on.

When you start seeing your blog as an online diary that has for long taking it to be, then you’re not equipped with the mindset to make your blog an asset. Treat your blog like a business, then the strategies and tactics that result into making money from your blog would set in.

Blogging As a Career

I see nothing wrong in starting a blog based on the primary reason of making money from it and live full-time on blogging. If I choose blogging as a career then I must learn how to blog for money.

Where problem lies is when you’re not ready to learn the ropes in climbing to the top of the ladder. If you must make money from your blog, then you should also be ready to learn what it takes to make six figure income from your blog.

Am kidding, am not there yet.

The blogger who started their blog on the money factors did not fail because they are blogging for money, No, they fail because they are not willing and ready to learn. Even if they start blogging based on passion, the moment they are not willing to learn, they already fail.

I assume they are lazy and not willing to work, no matter how passionate you’re about something, if you’re not ready to put in the required ingredient to make it work, then you’re bound to fail.

Now Your Turn To Speak

So lets the stones start rolling…….

Full Article Source : http://cybernaira.com/2013/why-blogging-for-money-is-the-new-rule-in-21th-century-and-not-passion/

In Today’s blog post, am taking a review of a special book from one of the top business blogger in the world, “Michael Hyatt“ and his book titled “Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World” a book for anyone who has something to say or sell.

Actually, this book was released last year in May, according to amazon.

Why Do I Have To Write About It Now?


Very brilliant question you may ask there. Internet marketers are, without doubt increasing in numbers every single seconds of the day:

Bloggers.
Sales people.
Celebrity.
Politicians.
World leaders.
Entrepreneurs.
Brands.
Public Speaker etc.

Getting noticed in this noisy or over crowded world is becoming more and more difficult for anyone who seeks to make a living online and doing so by getting the necessary attention needed.

I know first-hand how difficult or hard it is to get your voice over and get the attention you need to build online authority that guarantee you make that dream sales or build followers that are loyal and rewarding.

If you’ve being feeling like an outsider in this overcrowded internet market place, or like your voice is just not getting noticed for any reason best known to you, then, Michael Hyatt’s book : Platform : Get Noticed In a Noisy World is just the perfect gift you could ever get in this regard.

Before we proceed, let’s hear what others are saying about the man and his book.

Thanks in advance.

DroidVPN only works on unrooted phones and tab running on Honeycomb and above. Anything below that like gingerbread needs root access.

5 Ways To Win The Trust Of Your Customers

#1. Don't Exaggerate the benefits.
I don’t like it when a sales page tells me am going to be making thousands of dollar working for just an hour daily with just few clicks of the mouse. Is obvious that’s pretty scam.

Don’t over hype the benefits.

Human being are quick in spotting this type of sales speech as scam. While some customer may be little naive about this, still keep it simple and reasonable. Cause if they went on buying, they will end up disappointed and never trust you or your product in the future.

#2. Deliver on your promise.
This where the above point comes to play, promise what you’re sure of and not dream pipe.

If you promise to deliver the product in PDF format don’t go ahead telling your customer to pick up the CD delivery at post office or wherever after they’ve made payment.

That’s a good way to kiss your customer goodbye.

#3. Write Your Sales Page For Human.

This is no brainer unless you’re just learning content optimization guide. Stop stuffing your sales page with the keywords you’re targeting. You’re selling to human not robot, so why writing with the spiders in mind.

I tried to read the sales page but it just don’t mean something good, cause everything read awkward and backward. Is obvious they are not caring about feelings of their customers but to rank high in search result.

What happen after you rank high in SERP and the customer is not happy with your services?

You won’t make the sale and worse still you lose that visitor for good and don’t expect another chance. It only take one seconds to make the first impression.

#4. Build Trust And Reputable Image Online.

This is more important than the rest in the list, I think it should have come first. But nevertheless here you have it.

No matter the situation or circumstances, try all you can to protect your dignity and image online. Build a name for yourself, a name you can be proud of and people will be happy to recommend it to others.

Whatever comes online is there for long even after you, every pages are archives in many search engines and is there for everyone to see. Some customer may want to deal with you but before that, wish to run a search to see who you are.

Those forum conversation, those social media gossip and the likes are there to tell all about you. So be careful what name you give yourself and the things you get involved.

#5. Attend to Your Customer.

It is a bad idea to have 24 hours customer care icon on your site while no one is ever there to answer the call or engage in chat. I have come across many e-commerce site with large bogus female image telling the prospect live 24hours customer care support.

If you’re not chanced to respond to customer’s complain everyday, then don’t tell them you will on your site. Is better you state clearly when they should expect any response from you.

I prefer telling my customers to give at least 48 hours for any response to their email from me. I know it won’t take up to that for me to response to their mail, but I prefer giving that time so as not to put myself under any unnecessary pressure.

In conclusion, I hope you’ve learned something here today. If you’re planning on selling to your customers, use the above strategy, tactics and some other useful ones you know of. Combine together and see how it worked out for you.

Thanks for reading through.

Over the years hundred of successful bloggers have shared their experiences and success stories about how they went from zero to making six figure income online blogging for money.

And Lastly, asked yourself this question; Are you suffering from information overload?

Bloggers read on daily basis on how to make money from blogging only to end up dumb, confused, and overwhelmed with the millions of data consuming everyday. Don’t get drone with information overload.

GraphicsPlus: I still stand on the comment I made. The earlier you guys get it, the better. I don't claim to be righteous. In fact, am not righteous. But I will continue to challenge Nigerian youths to stop calling failure success. I will continue to challenge web developers to depart from the way of mediocrity. I will continue to challenge everyone who comes here thinking that webmasters section is only full of secondary school boys and girls or jambites.

Take it easy, no one is perfect. I understand your point but at least he admit what he did was bad.

mededot: Install the plugin called jetpack. Connect it to your account and use the subscription widget that comes with jetpack.

I think the guy has is own custom autoresponder, what he need to do is insert his code into any arbitary text/html widget and drag it to siebar.

the same thing as copy and pasting of affiliate or banner code into widget to display on sidebar.

This thread should be removed, at least to save innocent souls and the Op banned from NL. This is a big scam.
