The Nigerian economy today have cloud and shadowed millions of potential dreams that are capable of breakthroughs. it have quench burning desires to succeed from different great minds. last weekend i was invited to Jigawa state to enlighten youths about creating wealth using the internet. before the start of the program, i was opportune to discuss one on one with some of the attendees of the event. many of those i spoke with were youths with dreams capable of moving mountains although due to excuses/assumptions/feelings that are not worth the weight of a grain when compared to their dreams, they were deterred to move further. I was once again reminded of how easy it is to feel a little worn down or used up. Sometimes it's just hard to feel good about ourselves because this world so rarely goes the way we want it to. But, if we are wise, I believe we'll come to understand that our Creator doesn't create junk. And if our Creator doesn't create junk, then we all must have some real value, regardless of how we may be presently feeling.

Even though our lives rarely go the way we want them to they are probably going the way we need them to in order to keep learning. We have to just keep telling ourselves that there must be some lessons that we need to learn. That's all it is... just some more lessons that we need to learn.

Let's change how we view not knowing something. Let's stop telling ourselves that we're stupid or must be junk because we don't know some things. Let's change the story we tell ourselves. Let's start a new story that begins with our Creator doesn't create junk. Continue that story with life's stumbling blocks are temporary, and just merely a few things that we don't know yet... 'Yet' is the key word here because given some time and guidance, we will know and understand these lessons.

You see, this shift from feeling stupid and worthless to feeling capable and valuable is both great and powerful. We all have the vast capabilities of learning what we don't know yet. We can make this great shift in our thinking and in the way we think and talk to ourselves. Let's no longer tell ourselves that others are better than us. Let's stop telling ourselves that some how we must have gotten the short end of the stick in life.

Now Nairalanders, go learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember that our Creator doesn't create junk so we all must be highly-prized people. And once again, thanks in advance for all that you do, and all that you will do...

femiabiolajamb:

thanks a lot. more grease to your elbow too.

have some questions? they are highly welcome

In trying times like today that the Nigerian economy is faced with dwindling Naira and a strengthening dollar, it is beyond every doubt that Nigerian Importers and mini importers Learn very well how to fish out the best wholesalers and best sources to acquire dollar for their importation businesses.

it is challenging to look for the right wholesale distributor for products you want to resell. With thousands, even millions of types of wholesale goods, knowing where to start can be a daunting process. Below are some tips to help give you some insight of how things work in the wholesaling business. Before you start searching for a wholesaler, be sure that your chosen product is a viable venture and has market demanding for it. Also, evaluate carefully if the product you are considering is indeed profitable.

1. Learn About The Product You Want To Buy

Be knowledgeable about the products you re going to sell. Obviously, knowing when the goods are defective or substandard is always an advantage when you buy from wholesalers. You ll want to buy the best quality that you can afford. But how can you know if the quality is good or not unless you have excellent knowledge about the product?

2. Find A Local Wholesaler Of The Product

One of the importance of this point is that if you know how much a local wholesaler is selling it, you will be able to make cheaper offers for international wholesalers. lets make an example that i saw a wrist watch that i want to market, different sellers are selling it for between 16-20usd. i found a local wholesaler that sells same product for around 15-16usd, this is just an indication that all the sellers i saw online before are re-sellers and that i need to intensify my search. i can also buy sample locally for review, this will save me shipping cost and time.

If you have done your best and cant find a local wholesaler and you are considering importing wholesale, ask for a sample first. A traceable wire transfer, paypal or credit card purchase protected by Escrow is best.

3. Ask For References.

by reference i mean people from Nigeria that he has done business with or that have purchased that particular product. some wholesalers might contact those customers for permission to provide you with their contacts. when ever i lay my hands on such contacts i see it as gold. i contact the people and learn about the product. usually without wasting my time and money i get a nay or yey to a particular product from someone that have market it before.

4. References Will Land You Better Wholesalers.

If possible, have references ready. Wholesalers are also apt to request for references from other businesses that you have dealt with before. just as you need references to save you time and money, wholesalers also sometimes need references to assure them that they are not wasting their time. new clients may not have references so i always advice my new students to tell wholesalers that i referred them and when you are new, Offer to pay up front for the first couple of orders. always remember to pay via a secure medium as mentioned above.

5. Request Discount

If you have large orders it s possible to request a discount. In wholesaling logic, the larger your order, the cheaper you get it for. The quicker large quantities of goods are sold, the less space they take up in the warehouse, the more money wholesalers save. Sometimes they may have stock that is taking some time to be bought. You might be able to make a deal and buy the goods at a very low price.

6. Form A Good Business Relationship With Your Wholesalers.

Try to form a good business relationship with your wholesaler. It may take a while, but this is necessary if you plan to have them to provide good quality products and delivered on time. On their part, They know it is more profitable for them to keep existing customers than finding new ones. Once you show that you are going to be a regular and pay up on time, you will find that you can negotiate more discounts on your purchases. So find a good wholesaler and stick with them.

Different forms of internet marketing tactics appear and disappear online all the time. But when you're managing an online business you need reliable internet marketing tactics that aren't suddenly going to become redundant. for newbies in the house that still wonder what internet marketing is, Businessdictionary defined it as Marketing efforts done solely over the Internet. according to webopedia, internet marketing, or online marketing, refers to advertising and marketing efforts that use the Web and email to drive direct sales via electronic commerce. in a simpler term, according to Importexpert, internet marketing is any legitimate effort you make to earn online. it can be mini importation, affiliate marketing, ecommerce, blogging etc.


The 5 internet marketing tactics below will never go out of fashion. In fact, the only way they will, is if people stop using the internet altogether. And how likely is that?

1. Content Marketing

several years ago when i started learning about blogs, forums and websites in general, i was always told that content remains king. as true as it was then, so is it also true today. High quality website content material is essential if you want to make an impression on your target. The more quality content on your website, the more you will improve on the organic traffic from the search engines. Also, when websites are updated regularly with content that is useful, thorough and provides value, the more repeat visitors and customers you will have. take Nairaland as an example and you will understand better. it is the presence of regularly updated high quality content that makes you type "nairaland" on your browser daily

2. Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about tuning your website to get highest search engine results rankings possible to drive organic, non-paid, traffic to your website. Over 90% of internet searches go to sites that are on the first page of search results. You need to ensure that your internet marketing tactics for SEO adhere to a search engine's terms of service. This includes providing quality content using suitable keywords and making your website easy to navigate. take Nl as a case study again, some years ago around 2008 or so, i use to think seun has a partnership with google and they were directing traffic to him. the reason was that everything i searched google tells me to go to NL. the truth is that you need to make your site seo friendly and you will thank me later.

3. Online Branding

If your website looks unprofessional, is complicated to navigate, is full of spelling mistakes or takes an age to load, it's not going to reflect very well on your business brand. You need to prove that you are legitimate internet business, not a fly-by-night operation that will disappear as soon as you've got hold of the customer's money. Remember the law in "48 Laws of power" that says "your reputation is all that you have, guard it with your life". although i dont remember law number what it was but your brand online is just like your reputation, make it to stand out at what ever cost.

4. The Power Of Social Media

Social media is not going to go out of fashion. More than 72% of internet users are active on social media platforms. Using social media correctly can really push you in front of your competitors. Social media websites have a high number of site visitors that enable you to engage and communicate with your target audience.

5. Video Marketing

Internet users love video. Statistics show that sales pages with a video convert 80% better than those that do not. Video is an internet marketing tactic that can develop your online presence dramatically. They can be made quickly on a smartphone and uploaded online in minutes. Videos sites like YouTube and Vimeo will not be going out of fashion any time soon as the popularity of video gets bigger by the day.

When young, most of the people are only interested in how a person looks and how he/she makes them look when in public places. When they get older and looking for life partners, many people look for other qualities other looks. If you are at that stage where you feel that you are ready to settle down, here are the qualities that you should look out for in a partner:

1. Shared interests

According to relationship experts, having common interests strengthens a relationship. The common interests can be as simple as having a fondness for certain types of food or as advanced as completing a complex puzzle. When you have common interests with your partner you will have something to talk about. This brings you closer thus you live with your partner for a long time without getting bored. When looking for a partner, you shouldn't look for one that shares all of your interests. One common interest is enough to bring you close thus have a beautiful, long term relationship.

2. Respect

It's always recommended that you be open in your relationship. This calls for you to tell your spouse all the necessary details. The details should be both good and bad. While this is the case, you shouldn't be disrespectful. When your partner makes a mistake, you should correct him/her respectfully. For your relationship to last for a long time, you should respect each other. As rule of thumb, you should never bring down your partner.

3. Maturity

Maturity isn't acting all "grown up" such as not watching cartoons or laughing at booby jokes. Maturity is the ability to tell right from wrong, take responsibility for actions, and solve problems when you come across. If your partner is always blaming the government, traffic, boss or anyone else for something, he/she isn't mature and you should be wary when working with him/her.

4. Responsible

Maintaining a long-term relationship requires both of you to be responsible. One common feature of a long-term relationship is children. The last thing that you want is living with a partner who can't provide for the children or take good care of you. Your partner doesn't necessary need to have a lot of money but he/she should have some levels of security.

5. Fun

While your partner should be responsible and serious in life, he/she should also be fun to be with. Your partner should be able to laugh away the life inconveniences, make fun of normal occurrences and laugh at himself/herself. A partner with a sense of humor isn't boring and helps you have a fun look on life. While a sense of humor is great, you should stay away from a person who makes fun of other people.

Conclusion

These are the features that you should look out for when looking for a partner. Getting the right partner takes time thus you should be patient in your search.

for all those guys showting mmm mmm it is as a result of your clouded knowledge of hyip and ponzee schemes their average life span is a period of 1yr 6months. as i talk to you mmm came to Nigeria 2015-10-28 and it is still less than a year. all such schemes that caused death and heart attacks all started by paying fine. yes it pays but believe me regret is the reward of those who have ears but choose not to listen to experts. A word is a enough for the wise

How profitable is this importation business...

I always wanted to ask....

And that your EBook cost ooo...

reduce the price na... na Buhari era we dey...

despite the cost of dollar, competition is currently very low in the market. this is because many importers do not know the way out. with the very cheap sites i discussed in the guide, the business is very profitable
