Today’s lesson is Lesson 3. It’s a write up to remind you why you need to set a goal in everything you do and me SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) about it. You’ve to set your goal before you follow along. How much money do you want to make in 3 months from now? Write it down and be accountable to it.

Be a DOER. For this lesson, I decided to register a domain name specifically for this project in order to remind you that DOERS are ACHIEVERS. It’s not yet developed. I’ll not make it public yet so that it will not skew my results, okay?

For those of you who may be skeptical about these digital marketing training online free lessons, here is the GOAL of my creating this thread.

-To train an average Nairalander or Nigerian to become a complete digital marketing expert,
-To empower you with the requisite knowledge on how to make passive income online without buying into so-called fake information marketing gurus and coaches,
-To make sure that at the end of your learning and doing from this platform, you’re able to make $1,000 per month online within 90 days of starting an online business of your own,
-To stop you from money worries which are plaguing majority of Nigerian youths and adults as well. It is my financial freedom help and anti-poverty crusade, and
-To use our legitimate money making abilities and proofs from this platform to prevail on Nigerian government and PayPal.com to do all that is required of them to make Nigerian online entrepreneurs have access to PayPal’s merchant account so that we can start receiving funds into our PayPal accounts here in Nigeria. We cannot just be spending money buying products and services online with their payment processor or gateway and not be receiving especially those who have digital marketing products and services to sell from their websites or third party e-commerce sites on the internet.

With that said, I’ll be posting my next topic on how to use Google Keyword Planner tool to find keyword phrases in your online marketing campaigns. Google keyword research tool is one of the online marketing tools you absolutely need to succeed online. So, you can call this next lesson Google Keyword Planner tutorial.

Unfortunately, it needs a lot of screenshots to understand it better. I noticed when I post URL on this thread, the bots or moderators strip it off. What do you suggest, I should do? I’ll be listening, reading and waiting for your inputs.

Happy Sunday! Don’t do what you cannot come out openly to be proud of. Life is too short to leave in the hands of the devil. You’ll succeed!

crudedude:
My fear with NL threads is once you just say 'I have a material/past question/ebook' the thread turns to an email dropping zone.

Thank you for this selfless service IdeasPro. If there's a way people can drop their emails on a landing page and have the free ebook sent to them. I guess this might be some work, but it still helps create a mailing list, sends the ebook to parties that need them, saves you the stress of manually sending out the ebooks every time. Plus this thread is less congested with emails.

Now following this thread.

Yes, you're very right. I'll do the needful when I come to that.
I'll set up a landing page soon. I actually wanted to get active
participation before taking the next step in order to save time.

This was why I was reluctant in the first place to create the thread
when my colleagues in business in the domain flipping thread
were prevailing on me to create a thread for digital marketing training.

It's God's power and strength I'm doing this. Some years back, the
devil struck me with a spiritual ailment that people thought I'll die.
God in His infinite mercies delivered me and I lost every fortune I've
made from the internet.

But this year, I'm coming back and better and I've every reason to
be grateful. This is a thank-you-Jesus gift to Nigerians and mankind

2extremes:
Boss. Howfar with the training you promised. We are waiting.

Sorry, I don't have all your names with me. The training has started
as suggested by all you honourable men and women.

I'm even giving out a free affiliate marketing for beginners' guide.

Understanding How Online Shoppers and Information Seekers Find Products

In today’s brief tutorial, I want you to understand how buyers shop online. It is the first thing to know as a webmaster, blogger or merchant so that you can prepare yourself to make money online from them. There are millions of websites on the World Wide Web competing and trying to sell the same or similar products and services to the same market. Unless you’re different or unique in your business, you may not be able to close sales successfully.

Online shoppers mainly use search engines such as Google.com to find products or information. But they can also follow a link sent by a friend, family or colleague to come to your website. Unfortunately, only websites on the first page of Google.com have a chance to receive highly targeted visitors to their websites. How many times do you click on page 2 of Google to find something to buy?

Let’s assume a potential buyer wants to buy designer bags. First, he will enter the brand word or keyword or search term that best describes what he is looking for. For example, he may type “gucci bag.” As a webmaster or blog owner, you may never rank for that keyword because it is too competitive.

What you’ve to do is to search for long tail keywords and analyze them to see if you can rank for them on first page. These keywords include:
gucci shoulder bag
gucci soho leather shoulder bag
vintage gucci shoulder bag
gucci ophidia small shoulder bag

You make use of keyword research tools to do this exercise. Google Keyword Planner tool can help you find lots of keywords but it will not analyze keyword for profitability. You have to do that manually. After conducting keyword research, your task will be to write articles or blog posts around the keywords you’ve found.

When building a blog to promote and sell products and services, you must understand search engine optimization and how to write SEO articles to help you rank web pages on SERP. If you start a blog and nobody is visiting it from search engines, it means you’re not ranking for any keyword that will bring you targeted traffic.

The types of keywords you should always target are money keywords i.e. search terms that suggest an intention to buy except you’re running informational website for Google Adsense. If you’re an affiliate marketer, understanding SEO is the key to bringing in affiliate products sales and commission.

Congrats! You're now fully inducted into the Domainers Club of Nigeria

Welcome Back!

I’m a very busy lifestyle entrepreneur with loads of work to do both
online and offline. So, please don’t be mad at me if I don’t answer
your question as soon as you’re posting it online. But I’ll definitely
attend to every important question as we progress.

With that said, I’ll focus on:

-How to promote your blog for free and paid advertising
-Social media marketing
-How to build backlinks to your website without falling under
Google hammer
-How to outsource, expand and grow your online business
-And everything in between

I’ll be very conservative with payment proof request from members
of this thread for personal reasons and security. After all, I’m
doing this for free. I cannot give my head as proof to skeptical
members on everything I’m saying.

As the saying goes “the taste of the pudding is in the eating.”
But where necessary and on personal conviction, I’ll “show and tell”
with screen shots so that you know it works.

I don’t want some doubting Thomas who are reading this thread
to start shouting on top of their voices that this “payment
screenshot is photoshopped” or anything like that. Let’s learn,
brainstorm and mastermind together for the good of all and you’ll
make it in the name of Jesus. Amen!

If you love my idea of creating this thread, kindly click the “Like”
button at the bottom of this text so that I know I’m writing for people

journey.

But don’t just learn and sit back. You’ve to TAKE ACTION as we go.

marketing for beginners’ guide. Please download the free ebook, read
it and make your own contributions, observations and comments about the
handbook on this thread. I'll use your input to update it for wider and

Hello All Nairalnders,

Happy weekend and how’s the day?

In all humility, I want to introduce myself as a
digital marketing expert and I’ve been online for
some years now. I love working from home as a self
employed entrepreneur without a boss ordering me
around. Some time ago I stumbled on one of the most
popular Nairaland’s thread on how to make money
online which focuses on domain flipping business.

I’ve been doing underground domain investing and
website investing as well for years even before the
above thread was created. My initial intention
was to observe what is trending in the virtual real
estate business from Nigeria online entrepreneurs’
perspective on that thread, read other members’
contributions and learn too.

In short, learning is one of my hobbies and it has
helped me tremendously in my professional career and
business! Ultimately, I fell in love with the
domain flipping thread and I started writing and posting
my own contributions where and when necessary to it while
relaxing myself.

Some members saw and read my modest contributions and
suggested that I should open a separate thread on this
forum to discuss and focus on digital marketing generally
because they perceived as an all-round internet marketer.

I was humbled but reluctant at first about it because it
will definitely eat into my productive time or man hours.
As an accountant and business doer myself, I prefer investing
my time on viable business ideas instead of teaching.

But by popular request, I’ve to give in to this free digital
marketing course so that it will not become ungodly of me to
help fellow Nigerians. I don’t assume to know everything.
Not at all! We all have to contribute to this online marketing
training thread in order to make it a robust knowledge base and
a success. Let us make this thread the go-to place for internet
marketing training for Nigerians and for anyone who wants to
learn digital marketing online free.

We need to empower our youths with requisite digital marketing
skills so that they can frown and scorn 419, con artistry, fraud,
scams and so on. If our youths can start an online business and
make $1,000 a month online legitimately, I believe they will want
to do away with scams except that person is congenitally greedy
and to a fault.

From this online business training, I’ll go through the whole
gamut of digital marketing, one step at a time. I’ll respond
to questions and every other knowledgeable member who has legit
answers can also contribute. We’re not going to entertain fraudulent
tactics (black hat methods) of earning money online. NO, No, No!

And the best of it all is that it is totally free digital marketing
training for Nigerians and any other person from the world over who
has found this thread on the web. But I want the ideas shared here
to have “local content and relevance” because it is hard for some
Nigerians who don’t know how to earn money online.

I’ll be looking at different online business opportunities and models
that will put real money in your wallet such as affiliate marketing
business, writing and selling ebooks online from your own website or
third party websites like Amazon.com, domain investing, website investing,
app development, blogging for money, how to make money with Google Adsense,
freelance business, information marketing business, just to mention a few.

I may not discuss anything that has to do with paid surveys online, paid
to read emails, etc because these are not sustainable internet businesses
in Nigeria for us to do with peace of mind as of now.

..To be continued from next post!

NOTE: PLEASE YOU CAN DROP YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON THIS THREAD
AND I'LL SEND YOU FREE AFFILIATE MARKETING EBOOK. ALSO,
KINDLY SEND ME YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AFTER READING THE GUIDE.

Good morning Ogas and learners in the house.

Happy Independence day.

An end user I contacted last night offered to buy my name only if I agree to manage the website and add independent links to his current websites. He already has two websites and he feels having more than two would not bode well with Google Page ranking and stuff.

After a couple of mails back and forth, he replied, "I would get back to u, do I have ur website address ".

Where do I go from here, how do I reply?

2sexycom haykay2005 Ideaspro Branduche ikhalyfah Geofavor Promxy94 iykepromotions and any one else that has an idea as to how I should reply..

Thanks in advance.

Godly thanks to you for honouring me by typing my name for an answer.
I highly recommend every domainer, affiliate marketer, webmaster or
online business owner has a permanent business website that you can
refer your potential clients to when they ask for it.

It gives you a clean bill of health when they find your FOOTPRINTS online
with genuine website and business to wit. So, if eventually, they discover
you're a Nigerian, they may not be scared of fraud or anything like that.

The job the guy is proposing to you is a virtual assistant job and that can
guarantee $250 and above monthly income for you if you don't mind.

But in the absence of a website, you may tell him that you're putting up
a website blog as it is in the works right now. Get a business domain name
and web hosting to get started. But if you cannot pay for monthly hosting
yet, no problem. Use blogger free hosting and map it to your domain.

For less than $10 per year to renew your domain name, you own professional
blog website which you can show the world and by blogging from it you
earn money online every month. It's no brainer and it works!

That's my 2 kobo!

fergusen:
I no do outbound again

"We are not interested. Quit emailing us.

Nobody wants your stupid $10 godaddy domain."

You're not looking for 99 people who say NO
but 1 who says YES.

In my businesses, the first training I give newbies
is "marketing" and how to lump objections. It's
like gunning for the lady of your life. Do you quit
because she says NO.

Regina Daniels would have rejected Ned Nwoko many
times because of age and ugliness but persistence helped
him. He used his asset (wealth) to convince her.

Your asset is your domain. No one can take it.

Dank1u:
I've sent you a pm. Please respond. I'm so interested in this website building stuff.
The link to your signature has expired.

Thanks

Website building today is not about learning how to code. You don't have
to bother yourself on how to build a website. Self-hosted WordPress blog is free
and it is all the rave now.

Get a domain name, buy web hosting and install WordPress on your domain
name for free with 1-click button. You don't have to pay anyone to do this.
It's as simple as you can imagine.

Branduche:
My point is
Who shared the nairaland link to rob on the exact page
Where the vote soliciting is
Something is wrong strategically with that fellow that did that.. simple wisdom can’t be found again?

Yes, you're right and correct!

slimjosh43:
For every name I sell, I flook at my portfolio to see which names I would love to hold another year then I renew before buying new ones. Though I've not sold any I renewed but who knows.....

Why not build a website or start a blog on each domain name you renew
so that you can earn money online from them. If you make $100 per website
in a year from one website from Google Adsense and affiliate links it will
cover your expenses for domain renewal fee and website hosting if any.

And you can also put the website for sale. There are too many online
business opportunities we can think of and do.

Branduche:
So please, who had the fastest finger first to show rob about the “poll shilling” been posted on nairaland?
The negative comment I saw on namepros about integrity

My Oga, this is always the problem with most Nigerians with all due respect
to my fatherland/motherland. We publicly come to solicit for favours and
votes that skew judgment.

You don't need to solicit for votes in the open. The whites have all the tools
to investigate every online activity. If the name is good enough, you don't
need to beg for votes.

With racial vendetta, the whites will always come at us especially when they feel
we are smarter and more intelligent than them. Now that the issue of 419 is
all over the place, they would want to give all of us bad names in order to hang
us. Be WARY all the time.

For example, some years back when I was just getting a foothold on my online
business, a young guy saw me reading a printed handout on internet business
in the same bus we boarded. He smiled at me and from there a conversation
ensued.

I discovered he was making a killing with Google Adsense through arbitrage.
I hired him for Google Adsense training and I used Mr. Biggs as our meeting
point. It was awesome for me as I started making money online from there too.

I paid him to set up a Google Adsense website for me to diversify to another
niche market. Do you know what he did? He embedded his own Google Adsense
codes in my own website to mix up with mine. I didn't know and he didn't end there.

From time to time, he will go to my website and start clicking on his Adsense adverts
to earn money online. My grouse with the click fraud is that he was already successful
with this online business opportunity. Why cheating?

How did I know? Google finally found out and banned me. When I discovered it I was
heartbroken. From there I vowed not to do anything with Nigerians again. What if I'm
not a Nigerian? I would continue to fume at the mention of the name, abi?

This is how the outside world is taking us now. How I wish the government can do
something about it. Unfortunately, the majority of our leaders are fraud themselves.
A man who will inherit the brother's wife will not profer remedy for his dying brother
even if he has the right medicine or drug.

For instance, PayPal merchant account is very good for information marketers. Our
leaders cannot put things in place so that worldwide electronic gateways can become
available here. It is just pathetic. We'll all succeed in Jesus' name. Amen

crudedude:
The link in your signature leads to hostgator. Please update. Looking forward to your thread on affiliate marketing

Yes, you're correct. It's HostGator web hosting link. Those who use the link
to get web hosting from Hostgator get pro online marketing training from
me and my team.

damble:
THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE LOVE. I AM A BIT HAPPY.

You'll make it sooner than you think. God will help! Stay tuned and
don't turn the dial!

damble:
@ IDEASPRO: TNX SIR FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO ADDRESS MY CASE. I CAN STILL REMEMBER BETWEEN 2003 - 2007 THAT I USED TO BUY ONE SUCCESS DIGEST NEWSPAPER WEEKLY AND RUSHED TO CYBER CAFE IN ORDER FOR ME TO PRACTICALIZE. I REALIZED I WASN'T GETTING ANY RESULT AND I DECIDED TO ATTEND ONE OF THEIR SEMINARS ON DOMAIN NAME BUYING AND MONETIZATION BY ONE HENRY OMEGOR AND AFFILIATE MARKETING BY ONE MR FEMI GBADAMOSI. I ALSO BOUGHT E-BOOKS FROM THEM. OUT OF FRUSTRATION WHEN THERE WAS NO RESULT I THREW AWAY THE MATERIALS AND NEVER WANTED TO HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT ONLINE BUSINESS AGAIN. I LOST MONEY TO E-GOLD, AHF CLUB, HYIP ETC. MY FAILURE MIGHT BE DUE TO INABILITY TO OWN A PERSONAL SYSTEM ANYWAY. BUT, I STILL DON'T BELIEVE IN EBOOK. TNX SIR

@Damble, you've been DABBLING into online business without focus with all due respect. Why?
I can relate to you and all you needed was a coach or expert to guide you. I started internet
business in 2007 when I saw SuccessDigest magazine with my colleague. I've long said goodbye
to working for others.

Like you, I attended Success Digest seminars and workshops within that same time. I discovered
something unique about online businesses: THERE IS NO SECRET ABOUT MAKING MONEY
ONLINE. Every online business you decide to venture into, first prove it to yourself before
you step your feet on the door.

@iykepromotions started this thread after he successfully sold DanBaba.com. He has proven
it that it is doable and possible and then opened a masterminding and brainstorming thread for
all of us. I bought his ebook too to tap into his wealth of experience even though I know and do
domain investing already.

Your first step is to forget everything you know about online business and start as if you're a
newbie. Second, be a DOER. The best teacher is experience. Ask questions when you're stuck.

I'll train you and you'll use free tools to get started. So, you'll not spend money but time to
earn money online. I've transversed all online business opportunities and I know the ones that
work in Nigeria. Stay blessed.

mazizitonene:
Bro, abeg i fit contact you unto this affiliate stuff....been wanting to explore that area for a while now, just not too sure how toi go about it....

meanwhile anyone here been made an offer via domainagents before.....what's the process like ?

Very reliable. I guess NameSilo use them too. I use them to
negotiate and buy domain. The potential buyer pays $19 or
so to hire their services.
