Computers / Update MTN Bis With Tunnelguru by folyboy2013: 2:29pm On Oct 05, 2015
Firstly, you will have to cancel your previous MTN bis by sending "EXPIRE" to 21600

Seconded, and then subscribe to different bis by sending "BBLITEM" to 21600 - Cost N1000 for monthly plan or BBLITED to 21600 for daily plan cost N70.

After subscription you will receive a text saying "you have 15mb" just ignore and browse. All settings remain the same.

Business / How To Write Amazing Headlines by folyboy2013: 12:34pm On Oct 03, 2015
Writing Amazing Head
Every successful writer knows they must first engage readers with a snazzy headline before “wowing” them with their amazing content. How your post is titled can make all the difference between being a big hit and being left in the shadows.

When you share posts on social networking sites, the only way you’re going to get people interested in having a look is by giving those posts a catchy title that’s hard to resist. That’s why it’s important to learn how to write headlines that jump off the screen and grab a reader’s attention.
If your title is thoughtful and informative, the reader will believe that the content that follows will be outstanding. A great title will draw readers in to visit your page.
With a less-than-stellar headline, readers will be bored long before reading your post. They’ll decide to not even bother, quickly moving on to the next (more impressive) blog post or article.
Your content can be absolutely fantastic, but if your headline doesn’t have what it takes to get a reader’s attention, then it’s going to be put on the back pages. Envision the Internet as a newspaper. If you see an article with the headline “Local Woman Writes Novel,” you probably aren’t going to be giving it more than a cursory glance. Now, if the headline reads “Local Woman Writes Best-Seller About Sure-Fire Weight Loss Program,” then they’ve struck a chord.
Here are a few helpful tips for writing some great headlines, to help get your content on the front pages.

Create Interest: This is a key factor when writing headlines. Readers want to know up front if a story is worth reading, and it’s up to you to convince them.
Be Compelling: You want your headlines to reach out and grab attention. It can be a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth the effort.
Ask Questions: A simple question for your headline can be intriguing to readers. People are curious by nature, so by posing a question, you’ll entice readers to click on your content and find out the answer.
How-to: If your headline starts with those two simple words, readers will be motivated to have a look. It’s also the way many users enter a query into a search engine, so it will make your headline more likely to come up in a search.
Be SEO Friendly: When writing headlines, you want to try to include a keyword in your headline. This will help increase the traffic to your site. Don’t overload your header with keywords, just an important one.
Be Simple and Direct: Vague headlines don’t work. Get to the point and make it clear for the reader, so they know exactly what your content is about.
Keep it Short: Short, sweet, and to the point is the way to go with headlines. Don’t shortchange it; just find a way to say it with fewer words.
Impart Information: Your headline should tell the reader that when they read the article, they will find the information they’ve been looking for.
Present Tense: The tense you use in your headline matters. The rules are:
– Use present tense for immediately-past information
– Use future tense for upcoming events
– Use past tense for past perfect events
Active Voice: This helps keep headlines short. Begin the headline with your subject, and write in an active tone of voice.
Be Clear: Your title should explain it all. It needs to fit with your story. Always ask yourself if it reflects the point of the article.
Hit Your Target: Know who you’re writing for, and gear your headline towards what they want to read. Techies aren’t apt to be “whipped into a frenzy” about articles that will attract an interior designer.
Capitalize Correctly: Avoid any unnecessary capitalization in your headline. The first word and all proper names should be capitalized.
Avoid Pauses: Pausing for effect isn’t necessary when it comes to a headline. This will just create a bump that throws readers off track.
Don’t be Misleading: Lying is a big “no-no” when it comes to headlines. Promising “X” and only giving “A” will cause readers to distrust you. That’s not a great way to build a readership. Just be honest.
Don’t be Cliché: This can be a big turn off for readers. If your headline is repetitive and doesn’t engage readers, they’ll go elsewhere for something offering more.
Start with a Headline: It may seem backwards, but it can be a very helpful technique. You’ll create a flow with your writing, making sure your content fits. Try it. You might be surprised how well it works.
Double Check: Always re-read your headline to check for any errors or spelling mistakes.
Give Yourself Options: When you sit down to write, make up a list of several different headlines and choose the one that you like best.
Have Fun: Don’t treat headline writing as a chore. Look at it as a fun, creative exercise to help get those writing juices flowing.
Great headlines don’t just happen. They take practice. The more you work at it, the easier it will be to create fantastic headlines for anything you write.

Business / 40 Best Business Twitter Tips For Newbies And Old Pros by folyboy2013: 9:56am On Sep 16, 2015
No matter what level of expertise you are at with the social phenom Twitter, there is always something new to be learned. With the platform constantly expanding, and hundreds of new people joining everyday, things that were once the norm have become old news and cliché. Web designers and developers need to be informed of the latest Twitter news and updates so you won’t be left behind. Using Twitter can greatly increase potential clients and benefit your business in a positive manner. It’s an inevitable truth that can harm anyone who fails to keep up.

There will always be some tips that will be useful for those who are new to Twitter or who have been tweeting since the social network first came on the scene. There are rules that are tried-and-true and will probably be passed along until the end of time, and then there are some rules that need to be broken.

Here are the forty best business Twitter tips that will help every tweeter, from the newest of the new to the experienced old hands.

Before You Get Started

1. Take a deep breath. Twitter can seem overwhelming in the beginning, but you’ll soon see that it’s really just a combination of three basic things you’ve been doing for most of your life: writing, reading, and sharing.

2. Remember: Twitter is not Facebook. Not even close. Facebook is more about the people you already know or have known throughout your life and keeping up with them. Twitter is about making new connections with people you will probably never meet. It’s sharing information and riding a wave of information.

3. When you get started with Twitter, you need to know why you’re using it. What is your mission statement? What do you want to accomplish with your Twitter account?

4. Don’t forget that Twitter is a public network. Your tweets are going to be out there for over 200 million users to see. They’ll be tracked by Google and numerous other search engines. Don’t hold back. Be bold, be remarkable. But you also want to keep your online persona in mind. Everything you do online will be tied to you, so make sure you’re sending out the message you want.

5. Relax. Twitter is supposed to be fun, after all!

Your Profile

1. First things first: your profile photo should be a photo of you. Don’t put a celebrity picture, your cute dog, your kids, etc. You are the person attached to the account, you are the person tweeting. Make it a picture that shows people who you are, what you look like. No close-ups of your beautiful eyeball, either.

2. A beautifully designed background is great, but not necessary. Most people don’t even notice what you have on your background. In fact, since the background is completely non-functional, it doesn’t require a lot of attention from viewers. A simple background with a minimalist pattern is usually enough to appease the majority of fellow users.

3. Make sure you fill out your bio. Have fun with it, be witty. But don’t go too off-the-wall; leave that to celebrities and honest-to-goodness crazy-people. Give users a little insight into who you are and feel free to add your email address or website info so they can contact you.

4. If you don’t have a website that you want to be associated with, don’t link up to it. People are also wary of shortened links, so avoid them. Don’t link back to your Twitter profile, because that’s just plain redundant.

5. Adjust the rest of your profile settings in whichever way you feel most comfortable. You don’t want to keep your tweets private though, unless you really want to keep someone from reading what you write. If that’s the case, you might want to rethink being a part of a public social network.

You Are What You Tweet

1. Be useful.

2. Be unique.

3. Be polite.

4. Be interesting.

5. Be yourself.

The Tweets

1. Tweets are messages of 140 characters or less. Use them wisely.

2. Enter in the tweets yourself. You can schedule your tweets, but don’t put them on auto-pilot.

3. Some people may tell you differently, but the way you write says a lot about you. People will judge you based on your spelling, grammar and punctuation, so make sure you brush up on your writing skills and make the best impression.

4. Remember: there’s a big difference between giving someone credit for their work (a courtesy) and thanking them for retweets (just a bunch of filler). Don’t cross the line.

5. Don’t be a “metweeter.” This is anyone who retweets (RT) their own tweets or RT any RT that mentions their original tweet. It just makes you look like an egocentric tweeter. And no one likes that.

Finding Your Followers

1. Engage others. Repeat.

2. The fastest way to get someone to not follow you is by asking them to
follow you.

3. Tweet it, and they will follow. Act in the manner you wish to be known for and write about topics that you are actually interested in. Your fellow tweeters will find you.

4. Forget following systems and Twitter trains. They aren’t worth the time (or money) you’ll put into them. What does work? Following a large number of people. That means having a huge network of total strangers who will in all likelihood completely ignore your existence. But you’re all in the same mindset.

5. Set your goal to having 100 true followers. Be brilliant. Tweet things they want to read and let nature (or technology) take its course.

Mind your Twitter Manners

1. Don’t tweet in text speak. Find a way to fit your tweet into those 140 characters without filling it up with LOLs and OMGs.

2. Strike a balance between being a total downer and a hyperactive annoyance. Being on the extreme of either side won’t win you any fans or followers. Don’t try to be someone you’re not.

3. This should be a total no-brainer, but do not be a bully, spammer, troll or stalker.

4. Act like you already have all the followers you need. Act like someone who should be retweeted. Be someone who deserves respect.

5. Another note on automated messages- don’t. Don’t set up an automatic “welcome!” message to go out to your new followers. It’s very phony, and no one likes a phony.

The Tweets Part 2

1. Be an expert. Find your niche topic (cars, ice cream, Pauly Shore movies) and go with it.

2. Value and consistency are very important to Twitter followers. So, while it’s okay to go off on a tangent from time to time, try to stick to your balance point.

3. Be consistent with how much you tweet. After you’ve been a tweeter for a few months, you’ll start to get into a normal routine that both you and your followers can be comfortable with. Don’t keep quiet for two weeks and then blow up the Twitter feed in one bored afternoon.

4. Remember, you have a choice on how to respond and react to others. People are going to tweet things that outrage and offend you. Just take a deep breath and shake it off. Remember, they’re a complete stranger. No reason to have a meltdown because they say something you don’t like.

5. Don’t kill the messenger. People like to share content they find interesting, be it a blog post, video, or photo. It’s not always going to be something you like, but don’t take it out on the tweeter.

Linking Up

1. When it comes to links, always shorten them with . It has built-in stats, which is great. But what’s really important is that it’s trusted by the Twitter community. Tip: Add a “+” to the end of your link so that you can see the stats for that URL.

2. Don’t be shy about sharing your own stuff. Do it twice a day, in fact, so that both major time zones are covered.

3. Leave enough space in your tweet so that others can retweet it.

4. When retweeting someone, make sure you give them (the original tweeter) credit. Don’t worry about cramming the name of everyone else in too.

5. Twitter is all about settling in for the long game, so don’t worry about having a low click-through rate or number of retweets.

Twitter is a constantly changing networking platform. There are no clear cut rules. What works one day is on the way out the next. Just remember that some things do matter when it comes to Twitter, so you should always heed this advice. When you master the basics and move on to the more advanced features of Twitter, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with what you can accomplish.

You probably already know that there are apps you can use not only for entertainment, but for earning extra money or saving some. But, you may not know about these apps, which are some of our favorites. Check out these 10 killer apps you can use to save or make extra money in your spare time.
1. Foap

Download links: Android | iOS



This is an app that allows you to make money by taking photos. You can charge as much as you like per photo, which means that your money-making opportunities through Foap are virtually limitless.

3. Fieldagent

Download links: Android | iOS



This is a great app that can help you earn money. From the main navigation window you can locate jobs through the “Jobs List” or through the ”Map View.” Select a job to see additional details and accept it. Once a job has been selected, you will have two hours to complete the task. Be sure you’re near the objective before you start the task.
4. Cash For Laptop

Download links: Web-Based



You can make extra money by selling your old laptop, and this app will let you do it. Simply select the type of device you wish to sell, add a description of the device, pack it up and ship it (free of charge), and get paid with a cheque or Paypal.
5. Expensify

Become much more productive by using it.
8. Receipt Hog

If you have some free time, you can make money completing surveys. Or, you can collect points, and redeem them for gift cards from Amazon, iTunes, etc., or cash them in through Paypal.
