WHY WEST AFRICA BLOGGERS AWARD
Most bloggers awards have failed to get the required hypeand support because they ignore some key and important aspects. i and my team have made our research and some outlines are;
Plaques : this is the aspect where most bloggers awards has ignored; they depend mostly on online badges which gives little or no prestige to the award.
Glamour : this is the most important aspect if bloggers are meant to be celebrated, most bloggers awards have failed to host any form of award ceremony to celebrate winners of and so have lack the prestige. glamorous ceremony are needed to give any award needed prestige.
Publicity : most bloggers awards have made their criteria for selection of winners hidden and have had questionable credibility because of these reasons.
Public Engagement : a major reason why bloggers awards should be organized aside from celebrating and acknowledging bloggers, it is to enlighten the public the right place(blogs) to get information and not to be misled by desperate bloggers, west africa bloggers award is making sure the public has a bigger involvement in its award proceedures.
Workshop : bloggers need to be professionals, and so west africa bloggers award is dedicated to give all its nominees trainings and lectures to live up to the required standard set by the west africa bloggers award.
West Africa Bloggers Award call for sponsorship and partnership from the General Public, Firms, Government and Bloggers.

West Africa Bloggers Award is an innovation to celebrate bloggers in their respective niche. We understand that there have been some bloggers award but non has added the needed prestige and glamour to the industry. We understand this is due to the use of digital awards or badges and not well publicized for the general public awareness so we came up with an idea of an award ceremony of headies and amvca standard but this time for bloggers

That West Africa Bloggers Award in summary

Its the first edition and we are having some difficulties, but above all we need top bloggers to support us by helping us with social media awareness.. We understand that an household name like yourself giving us support will go a long way in achieving this feet

Interested person should contact on 0_8_1_1_5_5_7_2_6_3_4

Alphasoar:

Yea, am feeling your sacrifice.

You can either chat me up or drop your contact so I chat you up myself.

Every blogger is needed

Alphasoar:

And who said it is not credible, lols.

Just what I thought, I did it for the greater good

OracleE:
A laudable initiative. M into digital marketing, would chat u up

Thank you sir, I will appreciate that

Alphasoar:

Nice concept. Are you a blogger too?

Was, I abandon blogging for this idea as it is not credible to be a blogger organising bloggers award.. Drop your number please

Finstar:



Add me up 0.8.1.6.7.9.7.0.9.6.9

Done, we need 10 bloggers to kick start the group, help tell other bloggers you know.. Will chat you up on WhatsApp

Good morning bloggers, let's drop our number so I add you to the award group and give updates there

Finstar:


This is nice..

Thank you, so you see the goals and plan.. Its bigger than you think, bigger than headies and amvca because its the bloggers event.

So let's bloggers come out to support the innovation and make it a success

Who is in??

Screenshot to give you guys insight on what the award is about, don't mind the dates as it is dated last year which was when it was suppose to happen but didn't due to unforseen circumstances

Finstar:


I wont get banned again lol.

Now let's face reality.. Majority of bloggers are not ready to waste time promoting something they didn't start. To them, their blog is their business and your blog award is yours. Why would they leave their business to face yours? It's by giving them something mouth watery.. Something that's already on the table, not uncertainty.

Here's my suggestion. Get bloggers who really know what it takes to run the campaign, then work together as a team into making this dream a reality. Other bloggers might selflessly help, but chances are very slim.

Gather finance, don't wait for sponsors. When the campaign kick off In full, sponsors will come and bloggers will participate. You need to kick off asap. Launch the campaign.. Start promotion...and you'll be surprised at the result. Just take that step.

Hope you know that this is business? Hope you've draw a detailed plan on how this event is to go?

Thanks

Firstly if you read from the start, you can see I'm looking for a 5-man team who can work for the actualization of this goal

Secondly I don't want to mention name but I'm flawed with the response I got from a top tech blogger who is willing to go as far as put a sponsored post on his tech blog and also help promote on his social media because he believes in what this platform will do to the blogging community

Thirdly if this is a success bloggers needs to understand its a collective advantage in the sense that now bloggers get a platform to build on and a standard to work with leaving the lazy and cunning bloggers no place in the industry, it also increase the competition in the industry and also further enlighten the public where to get credible information
Bloggers needs to start working for value more than they do for money, the exposure this platform will give to the blogging community is something to cherish

Lastly sponsors will come surely because they know what they can get from bloggers all they need to know is if the bloggers are in support so please bloggers let's support this, chat me up and let's talk bloggers I'm waiting

FerrytimCharis:
Wonderful initiative. I would chat you up and we would talk.

Thank you, would be waiting for that

Finstar:


I'm henrydion, anti-spam bot banned me lol. M

When sponsors come onboard and present what they have to offer, bloggers will rush for this.. But starting this way makes you unserious. Everything has to be put to place to show that the organisation is serious and organised.

Since this is the first of its kind, you need to get a team who will be able to plan and support financially. Set this dream in motion and sponsors will come. Sponsors will only invest when they see how serious you're in for business and the ongoing buzz.

Another thing is promotion. How are you promoting this? Hope it's not only on this thread? If possible, run a paid ad. The more exposure, the better this dream becomes a reality.

Please don't get banned again because your contribution is much more appreciated than you think

On the promotion, from my research I know bloggers are influencers and when we set out to do something we eventually do them.. I have a couple of bloggers ready to help spread the word through sponsored post on there blogs waiting to get more volunteers..

I think the only problem here is that bloggers don't know they play a huge role in promotion of this award and if they help spread the word on all social media I think the sponsors will come running to us

NaijaTechGuy:
Nice.. Not based in Lagos though. Just keep us informed of the latest updates

You don't need to be base in Lagos to have an impact on this award, just chat me on WhatsApp and we can talk more
