You created a blog, published articles, drove traffic to the page and you noticed those visitors are not staying for long on your blog not to say return. Do you know the reasons why this happens? There are three reasons for a visitor to return to your blog; 1. To check if there’s something new or an update on a topic. 2. To check if an offer is valid or wanting to see the result. 3. Maybe they had to recheck what they already learnt from your blog. Now, let us analyse the above three reasons and put a solution to them. Updating your blog: Adding new blog posts or updating your already published posts on your blog is a very important activity you must perform. If you are writing a mind capturing content, your readers will be willing to read more posts from you. If they visit for up to 5days and see no new posts or post updates, they won’t think of returning to your blog/website. That’s the point, I do this too. How to avoid this; Keep your blog updated at least 2-3 days interval, and remember to keep using your writing skills. Open offer to your visitors: Try out something different that haven’t been done by your competitors and stand out. How? Offers might be; You giving out free services to an active user (not visitors anymore). You may be selling a particular product or service and decide to give it out free to some certain set of people. It might even be cash prizes. Always make yourself available to your visitors: Some visitors may read your article and want to ask you some questions. Make sure you reply your mails and comments people make on your blog. Replying to mails and comments make your visitors know that you have their time and they will want to learn more from you. This builds trust between you and your audience. Minimize pictures in posts: yes, it is a good thing to include pictures in blog posts, it beautifies and brings a clearer vision on what you are writing about. But when its too much,it makes the page load slower. Your visitor may be in haste to read about a particular topic but when the page loads for a longer time, he/she will have to close your blog and go elsewhere. Its cool to add images to blog posts but don’t flood your post with images. Advertisement placement: its cool to make money from your blog/website but don’t lose your visitors because you want to make a lot of cash. Misplacement of advertisements may disturb your visitors from concentrating on what they are reading and they won’t come back to your site. Advert placement on your blog shouldn’t be placed anyhow. Learn about places to place advertisements on your blog without forfeiting your blog posts and losing your visitors. Blog/Website design: having a cool blog design also makes your visitor stay long and come back to your site. Source : http://bloggershub.info/reducing-bounce-rate-on-your-blog/ #MakeMyWad |

Blogging without a presence is nothing, what’s this presence? It’s the search engine listing. Yes, your blog needs to be listed by search engines for you to have targeted visitors. When your blog ranks for a keyword, you should be getting some decent amount of traffic monthly. To achieve these, you must do some search engine optimization tricks. This involves the on page seo and off page seo. SEO means Search Engine Optimization, so I will be using the abbreviated form in this article. As I have mentioned earlier, there are 2 types of SEO, the On Page SEO and Off Page SEO. We will be discussing about On Page SEO in this article, so you can check here to know more about Off page SEO. On Page SEO means the structuring of your blog pages for easy access for users and search engine robots to crawl them. When this optimization is poor, your blog rankings will be very low, it will be difficult to gain visitors and that’s a total go down for the blog. To avoid these things, structuring your blog pages and contents have been made easy. How? I will share with you the important tips to implement on your blog to aid easy access and search engine ranking increase. Here we go; Create an enticing title: Don’t just pick a title for your content, make it mind capturing, something people will be eager to know what it’s about. Title relevancy plays a great role in SEO, this is what will be displayed to the searchers. Know how best to modify your content title and also make sure to include your main keyword in it. Make a good metal description: Although this tends not to play much of a ranking factor but it’s necessary to add this, it must also include your keywords. This is the short description displayed below search engine results. Make it simple and unique. Image Optimization: Well, this is easy to do. We are dealing with the alt tag/name, this is also crawled by search engine robots. With this in place, images get to be displayed in the image section. This alt tag must include your keywords too. Make it as short as 25 chars. The permalinks: This is also a very unique aspect of optimising your blog page, its the structure of the Page’s URL. Make it user friendly and it should also contain your keyword. Eg. http://bloggershub.info/ways-to-make-money-from-your-blog/. The Meta Tags: This is the tag you insert when creating a blog post, they are of great help to search engines to know what’s on your site. Modify this with keyword too. Interlinking of pages: The main aspect, you must link your pages into one another, this helps in sticking new visitors to your blog and also for search engines crawl your pages often. Link your posts into one another and also link to external sites too. This makes search engine think you are giving your readers a wider knowledge about that topic. With all this useful steps, on page seo issue is resolved and ranking will be easy. Source: http://bloggershub.info/on-page-seo-guide/ |

Hello to both old and new bloggers viewing this thread, My message goes out to the newbies blogger and those who have been wanting to move on with a competitor. I have seen a lot of questions asked on forums on which blogging platform is best to host a blog on, and of course, its the main man WordPress that keeps flooding the pages. Does this mean no hope for users? Oh No!!!! Now I want to make some clarifications, changes of mindsets and surely success will occur. Tonight I created a blog which will be running on a free domain, yes, I said I am making things different now. its a dot tk domain and the niche is on health. I plan on promoting the blog free with no paid string attached. (That's another difference)✊ I will be posting and sharing my statistics here for everyone to see and follow, so if you have a new blog or old one sitting on its host idle, its to!e to push them to work. I don't believe in the word blog for passion and make money but I do in select a profitable niche and follow the market then you become an addict too. Back, so now, my URL is http://www.viralhealthtips.tk All is empty for now but before next statistics dropping, it will be occupied. Remember, I have 0 PV and 0 visitors. Till my next update!!! |

Before ordering for products online, you must have known How to know which products can sell in your environment (you can read through source). Knowing the right product to order: i will go brief on this, it might be in you surrounding that you find something lacking and its what people are eager to spend on. Recognize these products and make a move to make money with it. Recognising the right store to order from: there are many stores orders can be placed online but I use and recommend only one, Aliexpress. Aliexpress is the best so far for importing products into Nigeria. Searching for the product: This can be done easily, locate the search button or get your products through the categories menu which can be found at the left hand side of the site. Knowing the right suppliers: this is an easy task, I recommend going for suppliers with not less than 98% rating. Check for their order numbers and feedbacks too. After knowing them, Contact the supplier: every thing as been made easy on aliexpress, you can contact the supplier while on the site, send a message to the indicating you are buying this kind of product and if there is any discount if bought in bulk. All you need here is a valid response from the supplier. Then, Placing your order: now that you have done the previously mention steps, continue to ordering the product you want. Select the quantity and proceed to checkout. Checking out: this is a reason why I like aliexpress, its her user friendly interference. You can use your credit card or PayPal to checkout, its save,fast and secure. Delivery duration: This is where people make mistakes, if you are ordering a free shipping product, you are expected to receive your product in 28-30 days. But if its a paid shipping, you get them faster, all delivery duration are found on product page. If you are ordering in bulk, you can negotiate with the supplier to offer free shipping and if you can afford this, go for paid shipping. Tracking orders: nobody will pay for a product and not want to know how good its performing, you can track your good on aliexpress. Goto my orders>> Click on the order then tracking details. Copy the tracking no into your product delivery company's tracking field. You can always return products if in bad order when you receive them. There's a return policy for that on aliexpress. Advises: Always do enough research on what products to order so as to make good sales and be at no loss. Don't give high price tag for products you bought at very low price, not everyone can afford that. 30%-60% is okay. Well this also depends on wants. Order for less products at first before making huge bulk purchases. source: http://www.makemywad.com.ng/guides-ordering-china-products-nigeria-recommended-store/ |

SaintAlbert53:thanks for reading and commenting. wishing you success |
SaintAlbert53:Good to know that...wishing you more success |
Let's not waste time, direct to the points. Here are effective ways to earn online as a student: 1. Freelancing: A lot of people do think freelancing is all about writing which is wrong, freelancing involves learned skills you can render to those who need them for money. You can be a web or graphics designer, a translator (language), a programmer, a singer, a photographer, just name it. Freelance is wide and there is always room for everyone. Now, let's make an example on this; As a blogger and with writing skills, I get paid for writing for other people. I get paid 1+ Naira per word and I write a minimum of 1000 words for them, that's a whooping 1000 Naira. I can write articles of such length up to 3 times a day. You know how much that is. 2. Becoming a middleman: This one is common here in my school but I tell you, it pays off. It involves you being a link between the buyer and the seller. These two won't know themselves, all they hope is that they are making direct and real transactions with you. Let me explain further; As I mentioned earlier that this is common in my school, I have a friend who does this. He went to a phone accessories shop and made inquiries on prices they sell some phone accessories. He then went ahead to make a medium advert banner for this, on the banner, he added the pictures of some accessories and there prices (he already added his gains to the price) and included the service "Pay On Delivery". I first wondered how he would go about this but I tell you it paid off. He invested a bit money, How? Whenever he receives an order call, he goes to the store, pays with his money, delivers to the buyer and he gets his money back with profits. That's how being a middleman works, it requires intelligence and trust. 3. Selling of wears and jewelries: this cannot be left out, don't ever think only women can do this. Both ladies and guys have to wear things and look good. Ladies can't do without fashion on campus so are guys, why not get some good looking and quality dresses, shoes,watches, hairbands, etc. When you can make money with them. You can start with underwear and shower caps as a lady and guys can start with wristwatches, under wears, caps. After getting all this according to you capital, you can market them among your friends and by going to other hostels too. The funniest fact I observed about this is that sales tends to be huge when opposite sex sells to people, I mean when a female goes around with males wears, she make sales so as in males too. 4. Making some fast food: this might seem odd to you but its on the list. I remembered going to OAU for an examination, at night, whenever I am out to read, I came across students making noodles for other students and making their money, the one I love most is the bread and egg, yummy! So sweet. I do buy at #200 depending on bread size and egg numbers. Then, it was #50 bread and 2 eggs at #20 each,that's #90 in total but I paid #200. Imagine the gains of the seller after subtracting ingredients cost at the end of each day's sale. 5. Blogging: a lot of students are into this but few are successful and even some haven't known this. I love this aspect well because its what I do. You can't make quick money with this method, you have to be hardworking and Patience. Once you are having enough people reading your blog (traffic), you can start to make money, this is what makemywad is all about, so you can read through our articles to get started. 6. Typing and photocopying: this is a must for students, we can do away with this, its either we do some handouts or assignment. You can grab this chances to make money for yourself. Not all students have the time to roam around to so photocopying and typing, you can get ahead of the class and do it in large quantity and take them to class, charge a moderate fee, #30-#50 ain't bad as gains. Imagine you have over 200 students in class and they 100 buys from you at #30 profit each,that a whooping #3000 for you. Believe me, you can do up to 5 jobs because it depends on how you have the time. Don't just sit down and chat all day, you too can be making a living all by yourself while in school. get to know more and other relevant blogging tips at source: http://www.makemywad.com.ng/effective-ways-a-student-can-make-money |
Tmsungs:yes that's what most bloggers face... there are techniques you can work on to g traffic, yes its the normal ones you have been reading since but the difference is the way you apply them. I am on an article where I enlightened the steps I used and that worked, I will share when I am done with it.....stay tuned.. |
xtaphare321:welcome to the blogosphere, if I make ask, what makes you open a blog? |
When you’re in a relationship, whether it’s a few weeks old or many, many years – arguments will happen. After all, you have strong opinions on certain matters, as does your partner – and you may not always see eye to eye. Don’t just hurl any insult (however creative) that pops into your head when you’re in the heat of the moment, before revealing these ways to argue smarter in a relationship, let’s know this. It turns out that how you fight can have a huge effect on the future of your relationship. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family looked at how 373 newlyweds handled conflict in the first year of marriage. Researchers found that when both partners engaged in “constructive behaviors” (like saying nice things, discussing the problem and actively listening), they were actually less likely to split, even 16 years later. Interestingly enough, a 2003 study published in the Journal of Homosexuality found that same sex couples tend to be more upbeat during disagreements than their heterosexual counterparts. The researchers said the same sex couples that participated in the study were more likely to use affection and humor but less likely to use hostile emotional tactics when arguing. But just because you argue with your spouse from time to time doesn’t necessarily mean you two are doomed — it might depend more on how happy you two are in general. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships looked at how 734 straight couples — some married, some cohabiting — dealt with conflict. The couples that said they were satisfied were able to come to a resolution, even if they used negative behaviors (like blaming and anger) during an argument. But for those in unhappy relationships, resolving an issue proved to be challenging, regardless of how they communicated their frustrations. That being said, there are some easy strategies you can use to communicate smarter with your S.O., which could prove useful the next time you’re ready to blow a gasket. Below, find expert-backed tips to help you do just that. 1. Manage Your Expectations First things first, no one’s relationship is immune to a little arguing from time to time — so don’t stress if it’s not all sunshine and butterflies 24/7. “Fights are part of every relationship,” says Rachel DeAlto, a relationship expert who counsels couples on Lifetime’s “Married at First Sight.” Some of the most common topics couples argue about are what you’d expect, says Lynn Saladino , PsyD, a New York City-based clinical psychologist who specializes in relationships. Money and sex (or lack thereof) are at the top of the list. 2. Take Time to Cool Off DeAlto tells couples she works with that a conflict doesn’t have to be resolved immediately. Basically, you should reconsider the whole notion of never going to bed angry. “People feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re going to get divorced or break up [if we do that],'” says DeAlto, “but the thing is, sometimes you have to go to bed angry to wake up calm.” 3. State Your Intentions Before diving right into an argument, identify what your goal of starting it even is, says Saladino. Think about it: Do you just want to let your partner know something’s bugging you, are you looking to settle a score or do you really want to resolve an issue? Whatever the case, be upfront about your intentions. “Stating that you want to get something off your chest can be helpful,” says Saladino. 4. Avoid Playing the Blame Game When it comes to arguing, make it about you. “I think the biggest thing when you start the conversation after calming down is to not place blame,” says DeAlto. “Anytime that you say, ‘I need to talk to you about what you did wrong,’ your partner is immediately going to go on the defensive — and then you’re creating another argument.” Instead, focus on how whatever it is you’re disagreeing about made you feel. 5. Jot Down Your Frustrations If the thought of telling your partner what’s really on your mind makes you break out in a sweat, pick up a pen. “Some couples have a really hard time communicating verbally,” says Saladino. In that case, get the ball rolling by writing down what’s bothering you. Sharing that with the other person may help spark a productive conversation, says Saladino. 6. Create a Safe Space “One of the things I encourage all my couples to have is a ‘safety zone,'” says DeAlto. This would be a space where you can comfortably tell your guy or gal how you feel. “The safety zone does come with rules,” says DeAlto. “You have to be cognizant of how your words will affect your partner, but you also have to be able to have that space for your partner to hear you out.” 7. Schedule Regular Check-ins Saladino will sometimes have patients set aside a time every week to touch base with their partner. “[I tell them to] schedule it so they don’t push it off and so that resentment doesn’t build up,” she says. Saladino adds that the conversation doesn’t necessarily have to be negative. One thing to try? Ask your partner what you can do to make their life better. Hopefully the favor will be returned. I believe you have just learned ways to argue smart in a relationship. source: http://www.makemywad.com.ng/best-ways-to-argue-smarter-in-a-relationship/ |

With the way things are now, the world is evolving in technology and we have to adapt with its improvement. If you have a job to be done and you don't have the time to make it done, there a re lots of people you can hire, just in any niche (aspect). I have made another brief article for you to learn the 5 reasons you should hire a freelancer. 1. Free up your time: when you hire people to work for you, you are making a free time for yourself. 2. Save money: if you are the type that do pay people on a monthly basis, when you hire freelancers, you are making a minimal pay to those monthly workers because you pay a freelancer per work done. 3. Flexible work hours: Its is quite funny when you hire freelancers from other time zone and you wakeup in the morning to see your job is done. I think you get is. 4. Expertise: ranging from where you got your freelancer, you choose base on expertise, it gives you quality work. 5. You get connected: Oh yes! this is great, do you know some of those that hire freelancers demand for work proof? I in particular do this. when proofs are submitted, the demander is liable to contact you for some partnership or other things if he/she sees what you've got. these are just what I love for hiring freelancers.... source: https://pearstep.com |
