Preetti:
nice points

thanks

One day my company’s CEO announced a new policy. It was unreasonable and there was unrest amongst the staff. After the meeting, I told the head of my department that I would continue to break the rule.
She declined to take any action, but I assumed I would be fired soon, so I resigned. That way, even if I was fired during my last two weeks, I could truthfully say I quit on future job applications since my resignation came first (there’s a resume trick for you).

The details of the policy and name of the employer are not important, but here’s the rest of the story: The CEO ignored my rule-breaking (and eventually changed his mind on the policy). I worked another month at the request of my department head because she had always treated me well.
When I finally left, she shook my hand and said I was welcome back anytime.
After leaving a couple of jobs over the years, I have become a job-quitting expert. And leaving that job gave me the time needed to begin this much-more-satisfying career as a freelance writer. So it seems only natural to share my expertise, starting with the obvious advice…

Avoid quitting a job impulsively.

Carefully consider a few questions first. Are there alternatives to quitting? Have you made preparations? How can you leave on good terms in case you need the job back? Are some bridges meant to be burnt? Can you comfortably lose the income, even if the loss is temporary? Are you starting a business? Have you started the business and the income is sufficient?

1. Save Money
With enough money in the bank, you can quit a job you don’t like anytime, even before you line up another one. Many financial authors recommend six months of savings in the bank, but I prefer to have enough money saved to pay the bills for a year.

2. Develop Other Income Sources
This should be the main reason to quit your job, well, except your boss is mean. If you have more than one stream of income (Affiliate Marketing is a good source), quitting a job is easier to handle. If you have a side hustle or two and some investment income, you’ll be in a strong position to make job decisions without worrying too much about paying the bills.

3. Maintain a Current Resume
Keep a resume ready and up-to-date. If you’re qualified for several types of positions, make a resume for each.


4. Keep Your Fixed Expenses Low
It’s easier and safer to quit a job if your living expenses are low, but the type of expense matters greatly. For example, it’s not necessarily a problem if you spend a fortune eating out and going to movies every night because you can immediately cut those discretionary expenditures when you’re between jobs.


How to Quit Your Job
Your boss might deserve to hear “take this job and shove it!” as you walk out the door in the middle of the day.
But it’s usually a bad idea.

I’ve quit without notice twice, and the employers did deserve it, but I (mostly) held my tongue, and I walked out suddenly only on short-term jobs I could leave off my resume.

Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, give at least two weeks’ notice, and tell your employer what you liked about working there (c’mon, there has to be something). You might want the job back someday, or a future employer might talk to this one. To the extent possible, leave on good terms.

More importantly, do a good job while you’re still there. If you’re tempted to slack off because you hate the job or your boss, it’s time to go. You deserve to be treated right, but your employer deserves to get what he pays for.
Put your resignation in writing. If you’re not sure what to say, look for templates and examples of resignation letters online. Essentially, you want to explain, give a time-frame and thank your employer for the opportunity to have worked there.

What About Your Resume?
Yes, your resume and future job applications may look less than ideal if you quit too many jobs. But there are a few tricks to making them look as good as they can.

First, leave a few things off the resume. A job you had for a week isn’t relevant, is it? If you have many past jobs to choose from, include the ones that are most relevant to the position you’re applying for, and don’t mention the others.

What about that part on the application where they ask why you left a previous position? No problem; as a complex human being you always have multiple reasons for quitting, so just choose one your new employer prefers to hear. He doesn’t need to know you just get bored with jobs after the first few months (yes, I’m talking about myself).

One solution is to always have a small business on the side. Then, if there is a gap in your employment record, you were “focusing on your business.” If your business is incorporated, you can even put yourself down as an employee during those otherwise blank stretches.

It also helps to round off the dates of previous employment. For example, if you quit a job in January and started another in November of the same year, writing down just the years you worked at each will make it appear as if there is no gap.

I’m not suggesting lying, but employers who look at your resume probably won’t tell you the bad things about working for them, so why should you volunteer negative information?

Of course, no matter how many tricks you use, if you quit too many jobs, your resume will suffer. Just consider that part of the price you pay for job-quitting freedom.

Your Turn: Are you ready to quit your job? If you’ve quit jobs in the past, what strategies have helped you?

You want to make money, right? Of course, you do. Everyone wants – and needs -to make money. So you started a blog since you’ve heard it’s an easy way to make cash, but you’re not quite sure how to actually make money doing it. Or maybe you already have a blog and you’re exploring ways to monetize it.
No matter which group you’re in, making money with a blog – whether it’s a hobby blog or a business blog –is possible. It’s not a get rich quick ordeal, but if you do it right, you could make enough to support your family and more. Let’s dive in and see how you can make a profit with your blog.


Monetize with CPC or CPM Ads
One of the most common ways bloggers make money is through placing ads on their site. There are two popular types of ads:
CPC/PPC Ads: Cost per click (also called pay per click) ads are usually banners that you place in your content or sidebar. Each time a reader clicks on the ad, you are paid for that click.
CPM Ads: CPM Ads, or “cost per 1,000 impressions,” are ads that pay you a fixed amount of money based on how many people view your ad.

Perhaps the most popular network for placing these types of ads is Google AdSense (Google has strict requirements). With this program, you do not need to be in direct contact with advertisers; you simply place the banner on your site, Google chooses ads relevant to your content, and your viewers click on the ads. There are countless similar programs available if you find that AdSense doesn’t work for you, such as Chitika, Infolinks, and Media.net.


Sell Private Ads
Working with advertising networks isn’t your only option when it comes to selling ads. If you end up with enough traffic, advertisers may come directly to you and ask you to place their ad on your site. You can also contact advertisers yourself. The biggest difference from the above-mentioned option is that there is no middle man, which means you can set your own ad rates.
Selling private ads can come in the form of banners, buttons, or links. You can even make money writing sponsored posts where you write about or give a review of an advertiser’s product or service.

The ways you make money with this can vary. For instance, you might charge a one-time fee for a link within a post. If you are hosting banner ads, you might charge your partner monthly.
To maximize your income, you can even go as far as selling sponsorship space in your email newsletters
To make the best of this, we recommend that you prepare a media kit.


Include Affiliate Links in Your Content

Affiliate marketing is also another great tool for monetizing your blog. Here is how affiliate marketing works:
An advertiser has a product she wants to sell. She agrees to give you a commission from each sale if the buyer is coming from your site.
She gives you a unique link that tracks your affiliate code. That way, she knows when a buyer used your link to make a purchase.
You include your affiliate link on your site. You can do this directly in the content or through banner ads. If a reader clicks on your unique link and buys the product you have recommended, you earn a percentage of what she purchased.
You can utilize affiliate marketing through ad networks like ClickBank, or you can create private partnerships with advertisers and businesses with an affiliate program.


Sell Digital Products

If you would rather not advertise other people’s products on your site, or if you are looking for another stream of income, consider selling digital products. This can include items like:
eBooks
Online courses/workshops
Images, video, or music people can use in their own content
Apps, plugins, or themes

Just remember that if you are going to choose one of these avenues that you make it relevant and useful to your readers. A lot of bloggers make the mistake of assuming they are developing a product their readers need; listen to your readers first, and then create a digital product that will meet their needs.


Use it as a Content Marketing Tool for Your Business

It is also possible to sell physical products on your blog and to make money that way. Instead of thinking of it as making money from your blog, however, think of your blog as a content marketing tool that will drive visitors to your business website.
The possibilities are practically endless when it comes to developing a business blog. You could sell hand-made products, books, manufactured products, and so much more. Or you might already have a business and decide to start a blog to convert loyal customers.

Let's say, for example, that you refurbish and resell used smartphones out of your home. You could use a blog to attract visitors to your website where you list your current phones for sale. Your blog might cover topics about DIY refurbishing. On one level, it seems counterintuitive because you want people to buy your phones, but it also helps you build a brand and gain recognition.

Pls, how do I open clickbank account in Nigeria?

first and formost, it is important to note that clcikbank officially does not have Nigeria on its list of supported countries. but their is a way around it. you can register using a vpn. a vpn simply means a virtual private network. it is a simple software that changes your location from Country A to any other country of your choice. lets say from Nigeria to uk. their are hundreds of paid and free vpns. some work and others don,t. a free vpn that currently work is the turbo vpn. if you will like a detailed step by step guide including how to get traffic and withdraw your earnings here in Nigeria please check here

baba mi,u don't get,I gat mad bills to pay n its not as if the job is so profitable, spends most on transport

you have to start something asap. you need a profitable online venture that can add to your monthly income. if you are familiar with Instagram and facebook marketing their are a lot of opportunities their. you can contact offline vendors of products that are affordable in your area and help them to showcase their products online for a fee or commission. i have a female friend that lives very close to car dealers in abuja, she was always telling me that she needs a side hustle with very little capital. i told her to contact the car dealers around her, collect nice pictures of their inventories, run facebook and instagram ads for the cars and collect her percentage when sales are made. today she makes 200-500k monthly in commission and she is still in her first year. he ads start up cost was N15k

alternatively you can buy items from 1688 and alibaba and sell using fb, ig and other platforms. you can go in to infopreneurship and provide informational solutions to different problems.

furthermore, if you have any skill you are good at, you can create an fb and ig page for the service and run paid ads and it will start paying off in no time.

lastly, personally i am into affiliate marketing. you can check everything i do and how much i earn on affiliate marketing here

There is an industry that is going to be worth about $6.8 billion by 2020. That's in TWO YEARS TIME! Do you know the industry?! It's the Affiliate marketing industry!

Affiliate marketing is a big deal, I tell you

What then is Affiliate marketing?

Simply put, it is an arrangement where you market and advertise other people's products for a commission. It could be 50 percent or less. Some companies offer as much as 75 percent. This is a very lucrative and interesting business model and the industry is growing so fast because of the following reasons:

1. There is no earning limit: Yes, you heard right! Because you're paid only as much results as you yield, there's really no limit to how much you can earn. You can earn N10,000, N2m, N5m and even N10m, as long as your strategy is spot on and good. This is one major benefit of Affiliate marketing. It's earning potential is really large, almost limitless. You can earn in one month what you've been earning in one year. It's simply amazing what you can do with this model of business.

2. Your time is your own: As an affiliate marketer, your time is yours. You take up work and execute as your time permits. You can still maintain your job and use your spare time to set up your business promoting other people's products. It's a win win situation for you. You get paid while maximizing your time using this business model

3. As a business owner, Affiliate marketing will generate awareness for your business. Often times, your business may not be well-known as a result of poor publicity but as soon as you incorporate Affiliate marketing into it, you'll see results. This is so because two heads are always better than one. One person promoting a business will yield result, then imagine five persons promoting one product. That's massive!


4. You do not need to have your own product: Not everyone has the time nor expertise and experience required to create a product. That's where affiliate marketing comes in because as an affiliate, you simply promote someone else's product that has been made already. That's like living in an already built house. You don't have to go through the rigour of creating your own product. It's simple and it saves you effort.

5. You Avoid the task of Customer Support: Anyone who owns a business knows that this aspect is one of the hardest aspects of running a successful enterprise. Affiliate marketing saves you of the stress of always being in touch with the customers. You'll still make your profit either way.

6. Small investment, big Returns: You will need to put in only a minimal amount to get your Affiliate business to gain strength. Small investment, big returns. That's one typical feature of Affiliate marketing; the fact that you get to keep all your profits after putting in a little investment.

But like every other business model, you'll require expertise and experience to guide you. You need someone to take you by the hand and show you how to make some good money from it. That's where we come in! You don't have to get scammed by people asking you for a small sum to start. We have credible Nigerians who have gone that way and can show you, in "Nigerian English", how to make money doing Affiliate marketing.

We have proven to a lot of people that this business model pays and that's why the industry has grown into what it is. It's currently a very huge business model with no end in sight. You too can take advantage and make the most use of this golden, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can make serious money working from your home. This is not impossible as we'll show you step by step.
Don't wait till tomorrow. Start now!.
