i know it's just your opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs. But I gotta tell you this. You're irredeemably dumb. You mustn't comment on every thread in a bid to sound woke because you end up sounding stupider each day. What has any of these nonsense got to do with our beloved prophet.? If you find it cool to make cartoons mocking your savior you're more than free to. You mustn't drag everyone into your nonsense. We are not all stupid.

See how northerners voted their own but the south, especially the south would never support their own. grin They come around to cry how they are being marginalized. They'd rather support a Yari from the far north than Akpabio who's closer to them.

Career / Re: How Much Are You Making As A Copywriter? by burp18: 6:12pm On Jun 12, 2023
Meerahbel:
First.

You have to love to write. You'll be writing over and over. You'll be editing. Clients will look at a piece you spent 5 hours and in 2 minutes will put red lines through it.

You'll feel like a failure, but that's what you deal with when you get into the "creative" world. Everyone has an opinion.

As Don Draper says in one of my favorite interactions talking about copywriting and its process, "People think monkeys can do this"

When talking about writing copy, "They can't do what we do, and they hate us for it."

Point is? You need thick skin because what you do will get changed by everyone from the CFO to the janitor. Be ready to stand behind your work. Writing can be one of the most vulnerable things you do.

How do I become a Master?

Read and learn from the best:

It doesn't stop there. Keep going.

Reading a book is only 5% of it. Look at ads you see in magazines, newspapers, on TV. Is what is written interesting and making me want to act?

Open your junk mail and read their copy.

Typically, it's horrible. Alot of *flash* and *huzzah* without any substance. The reason for all this?

You see what others are doing and what NOT to do (and what you should be doing).

That's another 10% (notice we're only at 15%).

If you don't absolutely love reading copy others do to learn from it, you're not going to enjoy this profession. Gary Halbert typically tore out ads he thought were great and kept them in a "Swipe" file. Every time he wrote copy, he pulled them all out for inspiration.

Pick up a Pen

For every new piece of copy, start with a brain dump. Look at the product or service, describe the benefits, what does a customer feel when using it, WHY should they buy it.

A secret?

Write down every reason a customer will say "NO" and then in your writing, subtly, answer those questions.

This is the brain dump process. You aren't editing. All ideas are "good" at this point.

Next...

Step away. You need time for your brain to organize thoughts. Go read, go walk, go play, go have sex. Anything but thinking about what's written. It's called the Incubation period.

What you'll find is you'll be taking a shower, walking, having sex, then EUREKA, an idea will hit that will connect different ideas together.

You'll jump out of shower (or the bed) and go and write some more. Here you are still not editing yourself, but developing your flow.

Write your Headline

This is the most important piece. Have you ever caught yourself flipping through a magazine and realize you've skipped most of it?

Sure. Want to know the reason?

Because the headlines didn't GRAB you. They didn't reach out of the page and catch your attention to tell your brain "Hey, this is interesting."Mastering?

You become a Master when you understand how to do all this over and over and over and perfecting it over and over.

Soon, your writing gets better. Ideas come faster. Your hourly rate goes soaring.

Mastering is simply taking something (much like a shooting movement in basketball) and repeating it until you know how to do it very well.

1. Mindset. Know you will Fail
2. Must love writing (and editing)
Read from the greats. Read copy you see all around you (paper mail, company emails, tv and radio ads. etc.)
3. Start with brain dumps of every idea in your head. Stretch your mind. Soon more ideas will come all the time.
4. Incubate all the time (looks like you aren't working, but your brain is. Endure the taunting comments from the non-creatives)
5. Put Eureka idea in action. Make each sentence compelling enough they want to read the next one.
6. Create a headline that catches (but doesn't lie)
7. Learn to edit yourself (I still struggle with this), but edit edit. It's tough to read your own writing. Everything sounds like crap at first. As you get better, you'll feel more confident.

Enjoy it!

Romance / Re: Please Is It Good To Pay Your Wife Commission On The Car She Bought by burp18: 10:36am On Jun 06, 2023
Reminderz:

this is why most men are miserable in marriage... instead of the man to discipline the woman and set her right, he will start ignoring what will later lead to greater problems.. all these subtle insults is what lead to a man being disrespected and emasculated in marriage.. you sha see one man wey the wife wan kill for front page few days ago... give a woman a little freedom, watch her go crazy... women know what they are doing..

op, no matter what happened between you too, it doesn't warrant her to talk to you that way, it shows the disrespect was there for a long time which you fail to confront.. now, this is happening.. the foundation is faulty already and I'm afraid it will continue that way.. this is another reason why as a man your source of income or provision should solely come from you.. when a woman start taking a man's responsibility, she starts to disrespect and look down on him... find a way to get back on your feet as soon as possible and regain control... never forget, women don't love men and you'll never be loved unconditionally by a woman...
A wife who'd disrespect her man has at some point before they got married showed those tendencies. But the man just choose to ignore the signs. It's why it's very important to marry someone who respects you because love is not enough. If she respects and regards him she wouldn't come at him the way she deed. The deed has been done and from the way it seems. The woman owns the car, or at least she has more stakes. Women will say things that'll push you to do things you never imagined you'd do and when shit hits the fan. It's you who'll be responsible and bear all the brunt. Best as it is right now is for op to forge ahead, work and building himself

Man you need to calm down. If every man reacted the way you're the way you're doing right now no man will be married. Women normally no Sabi talk. Ignore it and you guys will be alright

Computers / Re: Laptop Bag With USB Port: I Want To Import This. Will It Sell In Nigeria? by burp18: 7:26am On Jun 06, 2023
NewSoul:
I don't understand the uSB cord part. Does the bag have solar panels that when fully charged it can charge phones and laptops.
No it doesn't. At least the ones ive seen do not. What you'll find is the outside USB port has an IN inside the bag. You could put your power bag, connecting it to the port inside whilst charging you phone with the outside. It's worthless . I'll rather just hold my phone and my power bank. These things usually don't last.

He raised the most stupid point ever and I believe it’s for gullible people like you,, if the government which el rufai son is a part of, cannot provide quality health facilities, why should he have his surgery here,, your daddy Buhari spent billions on aso rock hospital but spent his tenure on medical vacations in the UK, but of course this men are doing fine with impunity cuz Nigeria has a substantial population of stupid and brain dead fellows like you
Falz can only deceive moro.ns like you who'll believe anything so long as it's targeted at people you don't like. The least he could do was be the difference, visit Nigerian hopsitals since he's spent so much time condemning our politicians.

You still don't get it. The real point is this: the people whose responsibility it is to build hospitals(like Bashirs father) that you and falz can use, arr not building it. Instead they corner the resources for themselves alone. You are the one have been brainwashed
We hate to tell ourselves the truth in this country. There are really good hospitals in this country. That some people choose not to visit it doesn't mean they don't exist.

You lack wisdom for saying this can his father do surgery in Nigeria or even take Nigeria made medicine like Panadol.
Practice what you preach. It's really that simple. How do you spend you whole time castigating people for something then turn around to the the exact same thing ? He doesn't have to be a public office holder to not use foreign hospitals. Charity they say begins at home

Lol, your President is currently there in the UK to see his dentist. While The Selected one is also somewhere in Europe to see his doctors.

You have no point mister
the crux of the matter here is, How is Falz any different from the people he's criticizing? He's not even a politician yet and he's visiting foreign hospitals. It's no surprise you guys are easily brainwashed.
