but how am I suppose to get the right person...this is not fair and this isn't what u promised o..u hyped fiverr.com like everyone there is a quack...now after dealing with 3 guys see where I find myself and aweber is not working too..

i wouldn't mind sending u the 5dollar plus 1 dollar processing fee to help me get someone to set it up or recommend a person for me..otherwise all my efforts are waste..I have a running premium vpn doing nothing now...or u take ur ebook back if I can't get through this what's d point having it

Bro please if you are not doing things right kindly blame yourself and not me. Give me a call if you are having any challenge.

timilehin007:
It was ur recommendation I'm following. would have stuck with aweber but for now no online processing, tried several times. As for fiverr, I had my money returned to my fiverr account 2x none of them got what I wanted..so this last guy, looking at the picture and graphics am tripping. I only want to know if converting it from PSD photoshop to html will work that's all...cuz most of this guy's in fiverr just create false account and doesn't know what to do

Bro please I do not recommend in the ebook that you create your squeeze page in photoshop. Please go back and restudy the guide. My recommendation is that you create a similar squeeze page to that of your merchant or get somebody to do it for you. You are not using photoshop for your squeeze page.

timilehin007:


So those that means the document is waste now pls?

It is easier to get a new one than to get someone to slice n convert it to html for u.

timilehin007:


Bro pls I got my squeeze page done in photoshop format and I was told to higher another developer to convert it to html...does it make any meaning to u?

Bro as an affiliate marketer you do not have time to create squeeze pages in photoshop before slicing n converting to html. Just get a basic design optin form from ur auto responder n add some customizations to the page.

greatest space Booker of all time.

The last one year was a beehive of activities online in Nigeria. The rise in the use of the internet as a platform of earning money could have been due to many reasons. Many have however pointed to the bad state of the economy as what forced many Nigerians into exploring other avenues of earning money.

Incidentally, all these businesses were suitable for even those with jobs as they could be run as part time businesses. Not only that, four of the five businesses had their payment in foreign currency. This was a great opportunity as the naira was already on a free fall and this made it possible for the earnings in foreign currency to translate to more funds in the Nigerian currency. Many Nigerians are still engaging these opportunities while many more are joining the train. After all, who wouldn’t want to earn extra bucks legitimately in this period?

So, what are these businesses? Let’s begin.

1. Ponzi Schemes: For the second half of the year 2016, Ponzi scheme was the hottest “business” in Nigeria. But i will not advice even my enemy to invest in them It offered an incredible 30% returns on “investment.” I had to include this in the list because at that time, none of the members of such schemes would want to hear that this was not a business. Ponzi schemes enjoyed a wide range of patronage from both the educated to the uneducated and even to the market women. Tables however turned in December when the mother of all Ponzi schemes crashed. Many people lost their hard earned money. Some still believe that MMM is back and are currently engaging the platform again. Of all the businesses on this list, this happens to be the most risky because it required your money to give you money as “returns”.

2. Kindle Publishing: This platform grew in popularity also in the last one year. Though it did not enjoy wide patronage like other businesses on the list, it remains a very lucrative opportunity. Kindle Publishing allows you to publish books in soft copies for sale. To succeed in this business, patience and a knack for research are two compulsory requirements. Not only that, this business is a little bit intricate that it takes considerable time for anyone to make a serious headway in it. It is still, however, a viable option for anybody who wants to earn money online legitimately.

3. Blogging: It would be a modest statement to say that the number of blogs doubled in the last 2 year. With the glaring success of bloggers like Linda Ikeji, many Nigerians took the opportunity as an avenue to earn online. Within a short time, it seems bloggers were just too many and crowded the internet space. The downside of it was that many who ventured into it never took time to understand it. Personally, one of the flaws I have noticed is that recent bloggers are too concerned with traffic that they would do anything and post anything to get you to their blog. However, real success in blogging comes from building an audience. With an audience, you don’t have to resort to gimmicks. They would always come back to your blog if their previous experience was worth it. The success of a blog, I would say, is not in having fans or mere readers, but in having an ever-present audience.

4. Freelancing: Freelance gave opportunities to Nigerians to offer their services (commonly referred to as “gigs, baits or jobs”) for money. The term “freelancing” is not restricted to writing articles alone as some suppose. It is a generic word that refers to providing services in exchange for money. So, under freelancing, you can find plenty options like cover letters and resumes, translation, transcription, content marketing, social media marketing, voice over, graphics designing, jingles, video editing etc. This business has proven to be worth the time as it affords you the convenience of working from wherever you want to and get paid for any skill that you have.

5. Affiliate Marketing: Unlike every other item on the list, this is the least understood and least engaged opportunity. The term “Affiliate Marketing” means the act of recommending products to people online and getting paid for every sale that comes through you. The payment does not come from the person who made the purchase through you, but the merchant from whom the purchase was made. What makes this altogether incredible is the fact that there is no limit to the commission you can earn as the more you recommend, the more you earn. A few Nigerians are already engaging in this business and are seeing credible results too.

Conclusion

If you have not joined any of the businesses above, it is not too late to do so. As the Chinese proverb has it, “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is NOW.” You can start today and join other Nigerians in making profit from the online world.

your contributions are most welcome.

Many people dream of starting a business of their own – at least once in their lifetime – but only a few ever do something to make those dreams true.
The presence of the internet today has made running a business easier than anyone could have imagined fifty years ago. It provides a cost-effective platform to sell and earn. Unfortunately, the tale of many people about online businesses is not that of a hit. While this is saddening, it can surely be avoided.

So, if you really want to succeed in an online business, below are five factors you should consider.

1. Performance of the business: It is important for you to make an assessment of how the business has been performing before you take a leap. You don’t want to dabble into an online business only to discover that it was not as lucrative as you imagined. This is why you need to give thought to things like size of the market/audience, the success rate of those already in it, the cost implication of running the business, the time requirement factor amongst other things.

2. Investigating the business: When it comes to online businesses, every single detail counts. You need to approach the business like an investor. An investor is always wary of investing in a venture that would become unsuccessful. For this reason, he pays attention to even the minutest details. You are also an investor because you are going to be investing your time. Don’t start a business based on assumptions. Don’t start it based on rumors. To fortify your plans for success, you need to ensure you have all the relevant information you need at your fingertips.

3. Making it simple: Many have thought to be successful, you need to be sophisticated. This is often not true. If you are running an online business, your clients will appreciate it if the processes are easy. It may be how they navigate your site, how they can contact you, how they can subscribe to your email list, how you communicate with them etc. The aphorism, “Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication” is very true in the world of business. People are getting increasingly impatient especially when it comes to the internet world. So, make everything simple as possible.

4. Do not ignore automation: No matter how free you may think you are, you cannot afford the luxury of staying online 24/7. There is the real life that will always call for your attention. Not only that, but you will also want to accomplish some tasks faster when your workload is heavy. This is why you need to automate your business. For instance, an email autoresponder can help respond instantly to the inquiries of customers. There are also many automation software that is available to do tasks for you.

5. Build your list: You cannot overemphasize the importance of building a list of your clients/customers/audience. The success of your online business does not lie in having random visits to your site; it is the repeat visits that counts. Repeat customers and not one time customers determine the success of a business. Not only can that, having an email list save you lots of money from unnecessary advertising. Rather than spending on adverts (whose rate of effectiveness is barely 50%), you can reach your target audience faster and in more precise ways that you have always wanted.

All in all, an online business is an exciting and profitable venture if your journey into it is premeditated and carefully thought-out. Most online businesses that hit the rocks do so because the operators thought it was all about having an internet connection and data. No, there is more. With the above knowledge, you will be better equipped when it comes to deciding what online business idea to execute.

Feel free to ask all your online business related questions.

contributors, space bookers, critics, derailers and co, lalasticlala says the home is ready for you to come in.

For many people, their work life and personal life are two worlds that they cannot seem to coordinate successfully. This is why many people have succeeded in one and failed at the other. There’s more to life than a successful career. But then also, what is life without an opportunity to pursue your goals and dreams? For this reason, it is important that you know how to balance your personal life and work life. Below are five smart tips to help you balance your personal life and work life.

1. Practice time management: Time is a very scarce commodity. Knowing how to manage it can help you strike a healthy balance between your work and life. Rather than start a day without a clear plan, it is better to schedule your time to fit these two parts of your life. To do this, you need to schedule particular days that you will meet with your family, friends and loved ones out of your busy schedule. Also, you can map out a certain time of the day or days of the week when you will focus on your work without distractions. When you make these plans, do your best to stick to them. Resolve not to break them in as much as it is within your power.

2. Identify and discard what drains you: There are certain activities that drain you of your efforts (mental and physical) and also waste your time. It may be the unnecessary banter with colleagues or time spent on the social media. Whatever they may be, you need to identify these time and energy wasters and do away with them. When you do this, you will free up more time to concentrate on your job which can help you finish the day’s task on time. This is will in turn free up more time for you to enjoy your personal life.

3. Create boundaries: Compartmentalize your life. In this context, you can broadly categorize your life into work life and personal life. To be able to succeed at one without failing at the other, you need to create boundaries and stick to it. For instance, you may have to always remind yourself to finish up your work in the office rather than take it home. Doing this will help you give all your attention to your personal life, friends and family. It will help you to truly unwind from stress. Likewise, you need to give your job the full concentration it deserves at work rather than let your attention wander unnecessarily. Recognize the time you have allotted for your work life and your personal life and adhere to it. Avoid any situation that may warrant any overlapping.

4. Learn to say no: It can be tempting to accept any extra work so as to be seen as a nice colleague or a hardworking subordinate. But if you really want to enjoy your work and personal life, you need to learn to say “no”. No law makes it compulsory to say yes whenever a request for more hours is made. In as much you fulfill your responsibilities, you can always say “no” when extra work is pushed to your desk. Sometimes, it’s not about working hard; it’s about knowing when you are being stretched and when you need to refuel. So, once you are asked if you are willing to do more tasks than your job description, learn to say “no” without feeling bad about it. Your health and personal life counts too!

5. Stay connected: Going through whole day without contact with someone outside of your workplace can make your day feel dull. If you have a partner, spouse or loved ones, you can stay in touch with them at intervals when you are less busy at work. For instance, your break time can be a good time to make a voice or video call to them. You can send text message in between work time to know how they are doing and remind them that they mean a lot to you. It will warm their heart and yours when you take actions like this. Also, it can help you relax better and return back to work with a more focused attention.

Summary

You can enjoy the best of both your work life and personal life. There is no reason to succeed at one at the expense of the other. Once you define your priorities and know how to manage your time effectively, you will achieve mastery in balancing your personal life and your work life.

please Do you need to have a computer (PC) before you can become an affiliate marketer ? @signature

Preferably you should have a computer but a smart phone can be fine.

hemartins:
Make yourself indispensable. Accept all task given to you and learn everyday.
That way, when it's time for retrenchment, you would be promoted.

very informative boss. Lalasticlala your food is ready.

thanks @femi. i am happy you learn something from it.

If you feel working at your current job is not enough and you feel your career needs a boost, you can do something about it. Having a job that pays the bills and being good at it is important, but that is just one phase of your career. Soon enough, you will long for more than a pay check. You will want opportunities to fully express your potentials and abilities. When you find yourself at such points, below are five strategies that you will find to be helpful.

1. Identify your goals: Many people do not have goals when it comes to their career. All they probably wanted was to acquire the necessary qualifications in school to enable them work in a particular profession. This implies that their main motive is to simply earn to meet their needs. While that is not wrong, there is more than surviving. To truly boost your career, you need more than aimless moves in life. Take some time and write out what you will like to achieve in the course of your career. It will help sharpen your sense of direction. It can also help you identify opportunities when they show up which you may not have been able to see before.

2. Assume full responsibility for your life: There is one thing that you have complete control of, and that is your life. You are the CEO of your life. One difference between successful and mediocre professionals is their response to situations. Mediocre professionals consistently absolve themselves of any wrongdoing while pointing accusing fingers at others. When you assume responsibility for your life, you not only acknowledge your fault when things go wrong, but you also have the mindset that if you will succeed or not, it’s up to you. It means you now realize that the key to your success is in the hands of nobody but yours.

3. Acquire some new training and skills: Today, for every one professional at a workplace, there are ten more that are ready to take over that position should anything go wrong. Why? Because people with similar skills are constantly on the increase. To make yourself indispensable, you need to continually acquire new skills and professional ratings that would improve your resume. One of the worst mistakes anyone can make in this era is to settle down with the belief that their current skill set and training is enough. Wise professionals know this and even set a new timeline for when they’d acquire new skills and training.

4. Tackle a problem everyone avoids: In every organization, there are certain problems that everyone wants to avoid for various reasons. Solving these problems is often important to the growth of the organization. It could be a product that is not doing too well or a branch/department that is not performing at optimum. This could be a chance for you to boost your career. You can tackle a problem no one wants to tackle. Doing this successful will aid your visibility and help your superiors see you as a problem solver and a go-getter. Ultimately, it could accelerate your rise in the organization and give your career a boost.

5. Practice networking: Every professional knows how important networking is. One person at the right place and at the right time can open huge doors for you. Give priority to building relationships and connections while you discharge your responsibilities. You can also expand your professional network by joining professional associations, attending panel discussions, supporting people’s goals, etc. This will broaden your visibility and help you form profitable relationships with influential players within and outside your industry.
All in All

Boosting your career does not happen in an instant. It takes time, patience and effort. But if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone, you will succeed. Implementing the strategies outlined above will go a long way in helping you move your career from where it is now to where you want it to be.

thanks.

Note

What I’m going to share below will benefit singles the most but can easily be corroborated by married folks here.
And also, this post is not written in list format. The reason is that I wanted to build the conversation properly.
If you are okay with this, then read on.

If you take a close look at the relationships around, you will readily agree with me that at least, 60% of people who are in a relationship cheat in one way or the other. This practice is gaining more grounds with less offensive names like “side chicks” and “side guy.” What this means is that if the “main chick” or “main guy” misbehaves, such a person can easily be fired and the “side person” will be “promoted.” It sounds a bit funny, doesn’t it? Maybe it is, but this trend is widespread already.

Unfaithfulness may be accidental if it happens just one time. But should it occur more than once, it is no longer an accident’ it is a decision. A partner who cheats always has a reason for doing so. Apart from the reason which is selfishness, a cheating partner hopes you will be ridiculously stupid enough not to find out. You may, therefore, agree that cheating is not merely an act of disloyalty; it is equally an insult to your intelligence.

So, what is the major reason why you should not tolerate anyone who cheats during dating or courtship? Because whoever cheats has a high tendency of being unfaithful in marriage. Before you argue the previous statement, read on a bit. When anyone cheats on their partner during dating, it often starts as mere fun. Soon enough, this act of fun degenerates into a habit. Such a person would then find it difficult to be content with just one partner. And if there is anything you should know about habits, it is the trusted adage which says, “bad habits die hard.”

Now, someone asks, “what if you caught your partner who apologizes with deep regrets and tears?” Well, remember I said earlier that there is a difference between those who cheat once and those who do so repeatedly. I would say anybody could find themselves in the situation likely to result in infidelity. No one is perfect. Some uncontrollable circumstances may lead some into it while others would still be strong enough to say "no." Those who engaged in it once possibly made a mistake and learn from it to avoid a re-occurrence in future. It is a bit understandable, and such is forgivable. Remember, no one is perfect. We all have limits to the strength of our character and two persons do not have equal amount of strength.

But if that person has been in that act more than once, it was not an accident. Or better still, “it was not the work of the devil.” That partner is merely apologizing not for doing wrong but for being caught. It is better to end the relationship immediately. Anyone who is unfaithful in a relationship for a certain period is really smart. They may deploy such smartness to convincing (or confusing) you to stay and forgive, but it is better you forgive and leave. You need to remind yourself that you deserve better.
Once again, someone may say they will quit such habits when they go into marriage. Don’t fall for that scam! Marriage will not take away the allure of cheating or disable the tendency to be unfaithful. In fact, marriage does not automatically make anyone a new creature.
If you ever find out that your partner continually cheats, don’t be so blinded by love and hope they would change in future. No, they would not change. They would just become smarter in covering their tracks. Life is too short to be unhappy in marriage because if infidelity. Save yourself the pains to come and let them go. There are still faithful people out there who truly deserve you.

Enough said.
So, what do you think?

What was i even saying? this is either a memory mix up or a form of mentions [/b]

I once created a thread on “13 very important things every girl observes in a guy.” You can read it here if you missed it using this link: https://www.nairaland.com/3826072/13-very-important-things-every

So, this thread is the other side of the coin. When a guy looks at a girl, he takes note of certain things about her. Of course, you don’t expect him to spill everything to her, do you? It is on the basis of these things that he makes his judgements about her.
Let’s take a look at the basic things a guy observes in a girl when he meets her. Are you ready? Good! Let the show begin! Ghen Ghen Ghen Ghen.

1. Whether she is pretty: All guys love beautiful women. They are a special treat to the eye. It is almost impossible for you to see a guy who does not want a pretty woman. This is the first check.

2. Whether she is hot: This is definitely the next on the list. While beauty has to do with the face, being hot as to do with her figure. This is where guys occupied with descriptions of a girl’s backside and fronts side and all the rest. You can’t blame us for this; guys will always be guys. We are creatures of sight.

3. Her dressing: Her sense of dressing is important too. A guy would make an assessment of her style of dressing. Most guys would love dressing styles that stun without exposing it all.

4. Her manner of expression: When she talks to people around her, is she polite or rude? There is something attractive about a woman who is courteous with her words.

5. Her frequency of smile and laughter: Maybe to stroke the male ego? Most guys observe these two things in a woman. Having a girl around who smiles frequently and can laugh easily can help a lot of guys to relax. A girl who frowns or hardly smiles is a “no” for most guys.

6. How quickly she gets angry: Guys often like to know how volatile a woman is. If she gets angry too easily, it means there is some fire on the mountain for the guy. Guys prefer women who are calm headed than them.

7. Her level of intelligence: Many guys are fond of this. During a conversation, they would stretch the discussion to the use of sarcasm and witty expressions just to see how well she can cope. Maybe that is understandable since science told us that a child gets his intelligence from his mother.

8. Her attitude to money: Men take notice of how a girl handles money. Is she the type that is always hasty to buy all manner of things as soon as money gets into her hand? They want to know if she can manage money wisely.

9. Personal Hygiene: Yes, girls ought to be a beacon of light as far as this issue is concerned but anymore. So, a lot of guys pay attention to the personal hygiene of girls starting from things such as her hair, mouth breath, nails etc.

10. Honesty: You won’t believe this but some guys create avenues for a girl to lie or tell the truth. This is what will make a guy act as though he knows nothing about an event just to see if she would be truthful. It is all part of trying to see if a girl is trustworthy.

11. Her level of maintenance: Guys are interested in knowing beforehand the level of maintenance of a girl. This is easy to gauge by her hair, shoes, bags etc. Guys just simply want to know which kind of load their head can carry.

12. Her attitude: It is easy for a girl to be nice to a guy she likes and those around him. But her real attitude is in how she treats strangers that comes her way. E.g. the waitress that attends to her in an eatery.

13. Her culinary skills: In as much as this is Africa, this will always be a source of interest to guys. Guys want to be sure that a girl can cook local dishes effortlessly. Generally, guys can joke with a lot of things but not with good foods.

And that’s it nairalanders! What’s your take on this?

Halfpenny:
Op! I dropped my phone and had a mini heartache because of your stupid signature

it is your types that fears everything including moving vehicles

Benita27:
On the contrary, men are different, and same are their preferences.

yes that is true, men are different. their preferences can be summarized into a limited number. if you take English alphabets for example: they are 26 different letters and can be categorized into 2. i.e vowels and consonants. same way, men preferences differ but they can be summed up and grouped

Way back last year, I created a thread on how men can impress women. If you missed it, here is a link to the discussion. https://www.nairaland.com/3488408/top-5-ways-impress-women

Have you ever wondered what exactly gets men pleased? If you have, read on.
I always maintain that men are easy to please. If you select 100 men today and ask them for the top five things that get them impressed in a woman, you can narrow the answers to basically the same things. Claiming that we are difficult to please is a fictitious allegation.

As you will see below, I will point at the top five things that get men impressed. Without much delay, let’s begin.

1. Go easy on makeup and the likes: Are you surprised? This is one of the top things that get men impressed about women. Yes, men know you can dress to look good, but the simple truth is that some of the things that you put on are unnecessary. Most men don’t even recognize them. For instance, ask and see if a random man would identify what Brazilian hair is or the work of some of those things in your makeup kit. Nothing is confusing as having a woman on whose face you can locate 50 shades of the rainbow. Men want simplicity, but if you want to wear makeup, moderation is the key. Go easy on the foundation and all those other things you put on. Even I as a guy cannot mention the rest of those things you put on your faces because I don’t even know them. A natural woman or one who uses makeup moderately slays with us anytime.

2. Dress to be attractive and not trashy: Yes, you may get a guy’s attention through trashy dressing, but never his respect. Women who leave too much to be seen are seen as potentials for booty calls and nothing more. That does not mean you should lose your fashion sense. How you dress catches a man’s attention and most men already have an idea of what they want just by taking a look at your appearance. Slay in your native attires. Slay in casual outfits. Slay in corporate wears. Look sharp. Be stunning. But there is no need to go overboard with it. The point is that you should rock an outfit in such a way that you will be seen as a woman and not a sex object.

3. Bring out your cooking skills and be homely: Men may take women out to eateries for dates, but that cannot continue forever. Ultimately, a man would still want to see how homely a woman can be. He would take an assessment of how you can keep a home in order. What advantage is it to have a pretty woman who does not know jack about how to keep a home? More importantly, men would want to be sure their women can cook very well. There is a special conduit that connects a man’s stomach to his heart. The meter in the heart may not read if nothing spectacular is happening in the stomach region. A man should not cook concoction as a bachelor and still continue eating concoction after wedding. No, there’s got to be a difference. In fact, if you can cook very well and keep a home in order, you have won a man’s heart over by at least 50%. tosyne2much am i making sense ?

4. Be financially independent: A relationship is not a poverty alleviation program. Rather, a relationship should be a partnership between two people for greatness. Offering assistance once in a while is not the issue. The issue most men have is when the requests become incessant. In today’s world where most women only know how to ask, men get surprised when they a see a woman who is self-reliant. They not only get surprised, but they also get pleased to see someone who has chosen to be different. So, rather than complain and be disappointed about what someone is failing to do for you, you might as well do it for yourself.

5. Be loyal: There are too many stories of disloyalty flying around these days such as cases of female partners leaving their boyfriends for other people. Most times, karma makes sure that the tables turn. It is becoming normal when financially struggling men get dumped for a well-to-do guy. What would get any man surprised today is when a woman chooses to stay in the relationship because she believes in her man. That act of loyalty is one of the highest sources of pleasure and motivation for a man. Moreover, guys want to know their partner is really faithful and not crowd-dating. Believe it that most men secretly want to be proved wrong on the guys’ cliché that says “hoes are not loyal.”

So, those are the top five ways to impress a man. What are your thoughts? click share if you Agree and Click Like if you disagree.
