Please how much is this training going to cost?

Like many bulk sms providers currently struggling with their businesses, we actually started our own sms business- www.smsmarketingportal.com, with the aim of making Lots of money from the budding internet and mobile tech. opportunities in Nigeria, some few years ago.

And for a while we enjoyed it but there came a loooooooooong time that we struggled to make profits and put food on the table for our families. It's now even worse this season. This is the most diffifult and imposible times to be running a bulk sms business. A lot of people currently running bulk sms business in nigeria are losing money, opting out of the business or are on the verge of quitting.

There are several factors now affecting this business including; new restrictions from the network providers, e.g; Do- Not-Disturb (DND) mode, high cost of foreign exchange to purchase sms credit, Nigeria’s recession and inflation problems, emergence of more advanced messaging platforms and so many others.

Most bulk sms providers entered the business with an "opportunity mindset" much like me some years ago not with a "business mindset." Opportunistic mindset = let me hurry and enter and make lots of money from this. Business mindset = I must find solutions to this and provide value. I want to stay in this business for long.

First thing to do now if you are struggling with your bulk sms business is to change your mindset. Start thinking like a business - an enterpreneur and not an opportunist (Download Rich Schrefren's The Internet Manifesto. Read and Thank me later.)

Then secondly fix the following in your business: I. Your SMS gateways II. Your Bulk sms pricing III. Find means of earning multiple streams of income from the sms business IV. Your marketing . For instance for I. Some gateway will tell you which numbers are DND activated. So your customers can exclude them and thus get 100% (or close to) delivery. And talking about III, I myself have learnt how to earn dollars for my sms business through this. its all about re-focusing.

Do these and you can return to the path of profitability. Be that as it may, you must first off, learn how to set up your bulk sms business (both technical details and the business/operations side of things) in a different way. The Truth is bulk sms business as we know it is dead, that is, the regular bulk sms business is dieing. You need to add value. Change your business model. Upgrade! my brother.

I compiled a [url]free report[/url] where I spilled out some of these in details. including:

✓ How to use DND (Do-Not-Disturb) issue to your advantage and offer other related mobile marketing services that will earn you more income than "Selling bulk sms units" would and leave your competitors confused.

✓ How to start with just 50 users and explode your userbase to over 200 registered users in just 30 days, Using an R Strategy I use.

✓ 10 ways you can make money from bulk sms business. About 4 of these income streams will give you 100% pure profits, no need to pay for sms units! You just pocket 100% of every money you are paid. Simple!

I can't explain it all here. it will make this post toooooo long Nobody like long posts on nairaland. Its already long sef. The report is free. over 45pages of sizzling content. Just provide your primary email, click on the confirmation message you would recieve and then read the report with a note in one hand and a pen in another.

Get ready to disagree with some of the things I will say in the report because it will just sound like pure madness. but in actual fact, it is the truth about bulk sms business. I have been in this business for over 6years.

Should you still be in the sms business? The Free Report can help facilitate that decision. And its free. Go here http://francisokaformbah.com/freereport/ to download it

I will be waiting to support you at the other side.

haryomikun:
Its good but then I won't lie, his idea diminishes the value of beats production. Something that can be gotten on the internet easily anyhow will be undervalued.

Its similar to the way fiverr undervalues skills

Hmm. You think music artists, esp Nigerian ones will not appreciate? Well. According to him, He has had a few orders and calls from certain upcoming artistes (afrobeats esp.) To produce one or two tracks in their album.

Hi!

Music lovers. A friend of mine, an upcoming music producser just launched a beat producing/ download website. Actually he released it sometime last year but I am just being aware of it now. I want your reviews/comments regarding the site. He produces and sell Nigerian and African Beats and instrumentals, mainly Afrobeat instrumentals.

His main area of focus includes afrobeat instrumentals, Nigerian Reggae beats, Afro hip-hop and a few others I can't really remember right now. Most of these beats/instrumentals are for sale, though he has some free downloads or samples of beats, Nigerian beats in particular, which visitors to his site can download without paying.

Here's the site? www.freaksonar.com

How do you see the site? What do you like about it? How do you think he can improve upon it and grow his business? If you are an artiste would you patronize? why or why not? I would appreciate your comments please.

Nice
Wishing them long happy married life.

Lala. Pls do ur job.

Take it easy nah U dey vex o.

joe4christ:
How is that even your business. Are you to tell her if she should strip unclad or not.
If u ain't got the guts, leave others who can do it.

And your monicker says you are for Christ? As a christian would you support that? Brother do some soul searching abeg to find out where u stand

The dressing is many shades of wrong. I wonder why there are so many hypocritics here applauding her and attacking the video guy. Yes he may have gone too far but focus on the message

That dressing is downright inappropriate and seductive for a public place like an airport. Have you considered kids, others of different faith,etc using the airport?

What we won't like our daughters, sisters or wife to wear we shdn't also encourage. And its our business what she wears (@ least in a public place), when good people don't speak out against societal ills n wrongs, we'll have a dysfunctional society with misplaces values and norms.

dman4mdmoon:
I don't get it. Must the ADC stand at his back all the time?

Me too. Why?

NigeriaKitchen:
1. Slash salary and allowances of president and vice by 60%: president and vice president should earn like civil servants, so I will start with myself by slashing not just my monthly salary but all salaries and allowances/entitlements, including easta code abi easter codeine lol

2. Implement federalism whereby each state controls and manages her resources and remits 30% to the federal/central government which will be used to tackle national security/boundary security watch, immigration, foreign affairs, etc

3. Privatise every federal government owned asset or business such that government will only become a regulatory body and not management. This will bring efficiency among government workers, and curb corruption in government offices

4. Make sure most government handled activities are computerized such that they will be done mostly by electronic; especially cash handling to reduce corruption and bribery

5. Ban cattle grazzing and find effective ways to improve cattle rearing such that we will have more ranches for cattle herders.....and have more Nigerians go into farming by making farming lucrative and attractive using farm mechanization and improved security for Nigerian farmers

6. Implement State Policing: every state must have their own Police.

7. Scrap state of origin: all Nigerians are equal and the same no matter their state of origin.

8. All political office or post must be made unattractive such that they will earn very meagre salary and allowances so people will stop clamoring to go into politics to make money or to fight poverty. If you want to be a millionaire, go and start a company, invent something or develop a new business idea and don't ever think about going into politics to make money because political offices and posts will earn even lesser than school principals!

9. No politician or his/her children/spouse/immediate relative will be allowed to travel out of Nigeria twice in a year the moment you are elected or appointed into office. They will submit their travel documents to a special Federal Police Team to enforce strict travel monitoring for all politicians!

10. Increase tax for the rich: if you are worth more than 1billion naira, then you will pay 35% higher tax. To reduce your tax, open more companies, farms, businesses and employ more people so that the more people you employ, the lesser the tax you will pay as a rich person.

11. Tax religious bodies: churches, mosques, shrines, juju houses, all must be registered and must pay tax to the government. The higher your revenue, the higher your tax.....to reduce your tax, build schools and make it free, open companies and employ Nigerians, then you will pay less tax as a Church or Mosque

12. Life jail for any political office holder found guilty of corruption: [/b]35 years jail term for any corrupt practices no matter how small

[b]13. Reduce number of senators and reps: there will only be 36 senators and 102 (3 per state) reps, and their salary/allowance cannot exceed 1 million naira only! No senator, rep, commissioner, perm sec, etc will be allowed to travel out of Nigeria twice in a year. Same with their children, spouses, immediate relatives. So before you think of becoming a senator/rep/commissioner/etc you will think it well and know that you are only going to serve and not to make money!

Thumbs up bro. Thumbs up. Loved your suggestions apart from the restriction of movement. You can deny ppl their basic human right to free movement. You will b considered a dictator

Will love to have one of these in my office. Call u soon

Buhari a.k.a General Cassandra is colossal failure and an Economic disaster to Nigeria and other Africa Countries, that need to be eradicated.



Only zombies and Abobaku still believe that the Nigerian Economy is improving.



The fall of the Nigerian Economy is affecting African Countries negatively.




Buhari is a burukutu drinking, gworo chewing Economic Disaster that neyed to be Eradicated.

This is the time for those who have nothing to offer in the City to channel there energy in farming in there respektive villages and stop waiting for what your country will offer you rather than what you will offer your Land.
Nigeria is working on the foundation of New Nigeria, if you want to be part of the moving train, pls think of what to do to better your life.
There are millions of way to make a living in Nigeria if you are not a lazy one.

Oga! even the farming self. Fulani herdsmen no gree us to farm o. Na so kill and destroy farms with their cattle them they do. So wetin we go do nah!

Portugal are finally Champions of Europe. Hmmm! The most undeserving and uninspiring team and they won. Guess Luck was just on their side. Congrats sha!

This is a bad precedence. if this thing goes through second reading and becomes law. The acrimony and voilence it will generate will consume this nation, albeit slowly but it surely will.

grazing bill is not the solution to clashes btw farmers and the herdsmen

Onegai:
It's a gift. Give it as such, kindly and don't make anyone stand at attention beside you. It's not necessary to give an allowance. Every marriage is different and there is a time for kindness and a time for firmness.

Thanks for the enlightenment

Onegai:
If I were you, i'd turn the giving of the allowance into a fun performance.

how do you mean by this? how do you do it with hubby? getting married soon and would like to know how to navigate this part of wedded life.

good one from my gov. I need to go back to my state and start a tech hub there

This must be a joke. shows the despicable level of our educational system.

OP. no insult meant but you still need to work on yaself. take the useful advice of those asking you to look into opportunities in ur field. ICT sector is huge for you. work on yaself

Gasout:
Good evening members in the house. I purposely brought this topic to this section (family) cos I blive i'll have a mature responses and contributions.

I'll try to be brief as possible.
I met this lady 2014 but we started dating November last year. It took her a whole year for her to accept dating me.

But then, she told me that, there is something she will tell any man who desire to marry her bt, depend on the level of seriousness of the man.

Then, I took what she planned telling her hubby to be as nothing serious nt until d relationship began to wax stronger. After being in the relationship for a while, I discovered she posses virtually all d qualities I desire in a lady and wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with her.

I tried to make her tell me what she has in mind that she plan to tell her hubby to be, she refused. At this stage, our both parents re aware of our relationship and we planned to have our INTRO this June.

I proposed to her last week, she accepted and busted to tears. Initially, I thought it was a tears of joy, nt knowing it was something entirely different from my thought.

I took her home with different feelings within me since she couldn't stop crying. When we got to their house b4 she alighted, she hold my hands and told me me 'she's HIV positive'

I was startled for minutes. She said I should think about it if I still want the relationship.

I have make enquiries from Doctors if both of us can marry and He said yes Bt the am nt still convince. Please, Nairalanders, I need ur sincere advice on this issue...

Dear I feel your delimna and pain. it was wrong of her to have kept d secret from you till now. but am guessing she was trying to keep the news from spreading if u or the men in her life don't love her. U knw how we generally discriminate those living with the virus. you have seen the obvious responses here. Ask her though why she kept it long .

I am suspecting that her status is also d reason she has only allowed you make love to her once.

like many of the wise advice here, I humbly ask that you go for more counselling. Ask her abt her medication. . support her even if u are not gong to marry her at d end.Sometimes these ppl live healthier and longer than some of us without the virus. I know there is information on how you or ur unborn children cant get d virus . seek help. love conquers all. Above all trust God. I wish u luck. will be praying for u and won't mind knowing the outcome of ur decision.

pls Nairalandrrs ppl living with HIV /AIDS are humans like you. STOP THE DESCRIMINATION AND STIGMATIZATION.
