Hello,
Everyone's been quiet lately. I need an editor for my books. Usually, I self edit and I'm pretty good at it, but I need a fresh set of eyes. Who has worked with a very good editor here?
N.B - I write romance and fantasy full length novels.

u won't find that here or a free market for it.

I write romance too sometimes and Nigerian proof readers have failed me twice. imagine have a book done up by someone claiming to proof reading pro only run a half chapter through grammarly and see many red lines!

Hello Sapio,

No one can be 100% sure if google will approve any site for adsense.

But here is the thing:

There are ways you can tilt the odds in your favour.

1. Create Valuable content

Google loves valuable content. By valuable, I mean creating very actionable content to real problems people have.

You also have to focus on topics that have not been rehashed over and over again (read: celebrity blogs and general topic blogs that float everywhere on the web like heavy poo that have refused to go down the pipe after a flush).

So always have a unique angle to your content.

If it has been said before dont post that stuff.

Your blog looks fine in this regard. I like the angle.

2. Don't steal. You are not a thief

Google probably hates theft than God. Ok I'm exaggerating.

But you get the gist.

A lot of people copy and paste other people's work and pass it off as theirs. Then when google doesn't approve them they throw tantrums.

Always have original content on your site.

Your blog looks fine on this front too.

3. No thin content. You are not selling flat screen TVs

Google hates thin content.

Google loves super detailed content.

Have at least ten contents that are at least 2000 words long before applying (It's not easy I told you).

This tells google you are putting in a lot of work and you not a hit and run driver.

It also shows your commitment to providing super useful, unique and actionable stuff to your audience.

Your blog needs work here.

4. It's all About you

Have a great 'About' page.

Manual reviewers at Google check this stuff. I kid you not.

State exactly what your site does and why your site should be the go-to site for your subject matter.

5. Can I have your Contact

Please have a working 'Contact Page'.

They check this stuff.

6. We respect your Privacy

Google won't approve you for Adsense if you have no Privacy Policy page on your site.

You can search online for 'Privacy Policy page generator'.

Copy and paste generated field and tweak to your site as required.

I see no privacy policy page on your site.

Short answer to your question: Good won't approve you for Adsense as it stands today.

7. Have a great team...sorry, Theme

You are far more likely to get approved if you have a great looking theme or site.

If you have the money, please don't skimp on this. If you don't then look for a free theme that doesn't look like a 19 year old junkie designed.

If you are using Wordpress which I assume you are, I recommended looking for a premium cheap theme.

Your theme is good. So don't worry about this.

In addition to having a great theme I recommend having a logo designed.

You can do it yourself or have someone design a cheap one for you. It shouldn't cost you much. If you need help with this I can talk to my guy to get you a free one. Shoot me an email.


If you do these basics I don't see why you shouldn't be approved.

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Just sent you an email bro. need your help in a bad way....please.

EDITED:

I actively started publishing on Amazon Kindle in August, 2016 after taking an online course and following through with @MK82 thread. The original intention of this thread was for group learning, but I have now edited it to reflect what I have learned in the last months in this business and state various ways I could help anyone who wants to publish his books online.

The group learning still continues but just incase anyone wants my help as I have gotten several emails from NLders to help since this thread opened, I can now help out for small fee

MY INCOME EXPERIENCE


1. Month 1 - August - $110

2. Month 2 - Sept - $359

3. Month 3 - Oct - $478

4. Month 4 - Nov - $740

5. Month 5 - Dec - $880

6. Month 6 - Jan 2017 - $1,100

7. Month 7 - Feb 2017 - $1,800

Please note:

1. I calculate all earnings as dollars, even though I know that when the 51 pounds of Sep and 55 pounds of Oct are converted, it would be more. I just put everything as dollars, so that I don't exaggerate things.

2. I also include my CreateSpace income in the calculation.

UPDATE (AUGUST 06, 2017)


I NOW HAVE A MANUAL

Hi guys,

After one year in this business, I have now written a manual to share my experiences so far.

It will also provide a good entry level information for getting started with writing, publishing and selling books online through Amazon. I also talked about niche research and niches that have better chances of success, plus how to source content for your books.

You can request the manual today by writing me at the email on the first page of this thread.

Please note that the manual is not free.

I spent time and effort to write it so definitely I'm selling it. This doesn't stop the free guides going on WhatsApp, and this thread. The free lessons will continue.

THE WHATSAPP GROUP

That reminds me, if you are not on that WhatsApp group, you are missing. Many of the guys who started following from this thread, who didn't believe they could write have made some nice income. They can testify.

To join the WhatsApp group, you have to WhatsApp me, or AncientTimes. Do not just drop your number. We don't have time to start saving everyone's number and then adding them one after another. But when you send a message, it's easy to give you the join link. There are now over 130 members on the group. Read from page 30 upwards to get our numbers.

And by the way, all the lessons in the WhatsApp group remain FREE.

Blessings

MY LESSONS EXPERIENCE:


1. Publishing books online through Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace is a very viable means of earning income. It may not be a get rich quick business model but it surely does work. Consider that these books will keep earning income for life, even while I am no longer doing anything.

2. The more books you have, the better you can earn. So far, I have about 20 books. My one-year goal is to have 60-100 books on Amazon and shoot for $2,000 monthly from this model. Once achieved, it keeps earning even when you are no longer working. That'swhy this is a great way to work

3. This is a great way for anyone to earn income, especially for authors and those who have the motivation to create books on niches.

4. Any book can sell on Amazon. It will interest you to know that so far, I only have prayer books published because of my calling. I have now started publishing other niches like health and productivity, but believe me, any book can sell. So don't be stuck in trying to know the right profitable niches.

A fool at 65...and to imagine this is the legbere shouting ourmumudondo..asking Diezani to be extradited so she can get bail here and case closed..
Ole

The guy you call a fool is more educated and richer than you. As the son of a supreme court judge, he is has more working knowledge of the law than you do.

if you set up a thread here it won't make front page in 7 years but if that fool does it will male front page in 7 minutes flat.

who did you say is the fool again?

Xandulyn:
Amazing work you are doing here, @MK8. I found out about this thread late through @Hamlak, but I've read through page 1-83 because I don't want to miss out on any knowledge; either in the form of answered questions or tips!
You've inspired me to write, knowing I've got the right support system in place. I just finished gathering materials for my book. I'm hoping in a week's time, it'll be ready.
Thanks again for this great task you've taken upon yourself.... We appreciate! Not just you, but others who contributed immensely to this thread.

S/O to @NaLaugh and especially @Sarahn, I love your sense of humour... You guys are amazing Critics.

if u can the thing in one week its not your book. Beware of submitting it to amazon.

Tic4tac:
What iz op saying??

Confusing right?

What he's saying basically is, if you want your battery to last, never charge it to full....100%. On the other hand, never allow the battery drain up completely before u charge it.

That's about. He just didn't pick his words right but he's telling the truth.

Bibidear:
hi,where do u wish to relocate to

Good morning, bro
Do u live in Osun state ?
The capital?

chloedogie:
Are u sure this number is on whatsapp. can't reach u on it though. Wouldn't want to drop my number here. i will send u a text, contact me on that number.

My bad, bro. Apologises

this is the correct number.

chloedogie:
Hello EZE2000. I'm a proud Osun indigene. Born in Oyo state, and moved to Osun in 1991 after the creation of Osun state. Lived my life there till 2012 when I relocated to portharcourt and later moved to Abuja. I have businesses and farms in Osun with my family members residing there. I visit Osun often like once in a month and actually got married to an Osun indigene lady. You are welcome to the peaceful land. As regards your questions, power supply is very reasonable in Osogbo but you need to select the best environment. Also you are a stranger, till you get your feet down, avoid night waka like I did when I was new in Rivers state. As a christian, you don't have any issue with your religion even as we have many Muslims around. I worship in Dream Centre international church you can worship there. As for other questions, ask me I will answer you. Take care bro.

09020400640 whatsapps.

Would greatly appreciate it if you contacted me on whatspps. There are certain private issues I need to with right info which I fell u can provide.

chloedogie:
I think I read something about the PDP party replying his letter that their candidate for 2019 will surely come from the North according to the party constitution or something(if it was a correct news)...... Any of these politicians that was unable to internally generate up to half of the federal allocation funds for his constituency or state while previously serving shouldn't be considered for anything called election. What was he able to use the funds gotten over the 4years he has spent to do for his state outside paying salary and construction of few roads? No IGF nothing. And someone like him wants to run for presidency where our major source of income(OIL) is not internationally reckoned with again? I just pity the few that will start making a noise of Fayose for president upadan. God save this country please. Don't keep looking at us like this.

I could vividly remember when Aregbesola was just sworn in as the governor of Osun state, for almost a year, he was busy gallivanting up and down with uncountable trips to so many countries in the name of looking for investors, with a huge number of people on his trips. He wasted the little money the state was collecting back then and today, as an indigene of that state I can tell you that not a single investor came into that state for almost 8 years he has spent. The problem is most of these politicians can hardly manage their own personal companies or businesses without folding up. That is the main reason why they keep stealing and stealing and stealing govt funds because the ''know how wisdom'' of turning 2 Naira into 4 naira isn't just there for them. All they know how to do is withdraw withdraw and spend spend.

Hi,

Do u actually live in Osun state?

TheDriller:
Mr Man, if you don't know what to type then better don't. How can you say 12k in a month for stable power supply or even 6 hrs in a day is embarrassingly cheap? I use prepaid meter and we have a minimum of 14 hrs a day of light and I average 5k every 2 months and I live in a 2 bedroom flat with all the regular electronics

u use electric stove?

CosmeticChemist:
.

Why the insult ?

You deserve it and more.

CosmeticChemist:
You Nigerians don't like to pay your dues.. If you don't have constant power supply, you complain. You have now, it's too expensive you say... 12k in a month for stable power supply or even 6 hrs in a day is embarrassingly cheap. You might need to check cost of gas or coal, coupled with transmission problems and theft along the lines before you come here to complain about bills

Brother


I didn't find it odd

Some certain region hates Buhari greatly

That's what makes a lot of his followers string and firm

Let me repeat for the up tenth time

Religion and ethnicity will be the bases of 2019 election

Am sorry to say this but that's the truth

We can't shy away for on it

NE, NW, NC and South west sure pass for baba

I can't see myself voting out Osinbajo in 2019

You don't like anybody or anything good do u? All the things u stand for....so far as I've seen....are rubbish.

Tell me how anybody, particularly Fayose can do worse than Buhari?

webincomeplus:
Yes, I'm a blogger with many blogs.

sweet

Don't waste your time here or any where. You've been stupid now carry the consequence like a man

I want to say Chelsea may not win today!

Reasons

- Hazard May not Start the Match as he is the key player that can drive defenders and definitely workout the Goal

Unfortunately he's not fit and may not be risked

You can't trust William or Moses against Giant Athletico Madrid Defenders

- Athletico Madrid are in Full Form

Chelsea either loses or Draw the Match Full Time.

Biafra man, i dont need your advise. Stop running away from home.
Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi and Enugu need you.

They have me, never fear, my Abiku pal. i never make my main investmenrs in places like your village

deedeedee1:
Your papa is an idioot
Fucckking Biafran!

Wow!

I must say thank you bro,
keep blabbing and posting insults. This pushes this thread to the top of the section, more see it and more answers come.

God/Allah works in wondrous ways, I know that now.

Happy Sunday my friend. See u in Osun state in weeks!

deedeedee1:
You this Biafran, you are still crying. Go and invest in your land. If Nigeria splits, you will be the one to lose. I can never invest my money outside Yorubaland.
You Igbos want Biafra, but it seems you people are the least prepared for Nigeria disintegration.
I pity una

Whoever raised you, young buck, didn't do a good job of it. Whoever taught you English did only half the job too. I understand phone correction errors but when start spiting out stuff like 'You this Biafran' ....very bad English, my Abiku pal.

Take my advice, go back to school. No need to start from Primary 6, JSS 3 will do.

And by the way, what kinda dumb ass are you to think some else is crying when you are doing a terrific job of it? This tread went cold since Friday and you come back Saturday night and open it in cry baby style then claim another person is crying.....you are d dumbest ass on earth

You can invest your money inside Yoruba land alone. cool, your choice. Checkout this great idea. Invest in a Milo tin container, put all your money in it and invest in the land under your bed or a project in your village. You got an excellent poor man mentality....one of the best.

Did Igbos give u a phone call to tell you they're not ready for anything? You stupidity and low level of reason is amazing.

A lot of Yoruba people are good people. I know, lived in Lagos all my life. Its individuals like you and your other pal that paints them black in style.

You don't fool me though.
