Ive had 2wice but its not commercially viable as a business, as a private owner its a gimic that would fade with time, about 2 months. Get table-tennis games and shooting horrors. I think i have a vid on my insta... Androidkave

Why you might have a point, I do not agree with you regarding its commercial viability.

Setting up a VR arcade, though capital intensive, if done properly is a good investment as it attracts a lot of attention.

Then as for personal use, I've been using my Quest 2 since April last year, and I'm still enjoying it.

I mostly use mine for flying games like Warplanes and SimplePlanes. But beginners can start with games like Pistol Whip, Beat Sabre, SuperHot, contractors etc.

Moreover, there's more you can do with the headset than just gaming.

A lot of women are quick to cry domestic violence when the man goes physical on them.

But people hardly ever consider how emotional abuse (insults, curses and humiliation) on the part of the woman equates to domestic violence too.

A woman's abusive words = a man's violent fist.

Nice. I have tried all but contractors. Have you tried pcvr?

Nah, I aint got no PC powerful enough.

I have a quest 2.

I play beat saber, pistol whip, thrill of the fight, contractors, SuperHot, epic roller coasters, richies plank experience etc.

Who else uses an Oculus Quest 2. Lets connect.

Bought mine around this time last year when i was in the UK

It is advisable to text or SMS, as I may be unable to pick your call. I will call you back

That man can flog for Africa. Infact, if another teaching is not flogging student properly, he will offer to assist.

Pele oo Mr writer, since you were so smart you should have been able to use your logic to know that was a typo from keyboards autocorrect function if it thought I was going to type separately

Whether skit or not, using his official uniform to portray such NONESENSE.
This was exactly the reason Cute abiola that comedian was taken into custody for a month.

1. That guy is not a soldier
2. That is not an official uniform, it's just a camouflage-patterned shirt
3. Don't use words that you can't spell.

Did y'all watch the video at all?

It's very very obvious this is a skit. A very dry and poor executed one.

Some people will just come here and open their mouth waaaaaa

And some bloggers will just post anything just for attention and traffic.

Whats app me

Hello reader's, I will be taken a week break from this thread to grieve over the passing of my dad. Just recieved the sad news from my mom this very day (01-22-2022 by 8:40 EST).

I'm completely broken.

My trip to Nigeria is scheduled for the month of April and I was visiting with my 6 year old son so he can see his grandma and grandpa and vice-versa and this unfortunate incident struck.

I’m sorry for your loss bro. I can only imagine how it feels.
May the Almighty comfort you and your family and safe trip back home.

we just have to deploy them to sambisa forest and other places they use as base.

The lady above has already explained to you that we don’t need some of these hardware because we’re fighting an internal war. The terrorists are still within the country. Do we have to burn down our house just to get rid of a rat?

All we need are close air support and light attack aircrafts that will inflict the right blow to the insurgents without too much collateral damage.
Moreover, almost all these jets are too fast to effectively deploy against the terrorists.

NB: Nigeria has fast jets too, up to 4.5 Gen

The book creation strategy is the same and the only difference is the genre the author decides to proceed with.

Fiction books are created from the imaginations of the writer such as mysteries, science fiction, romance, crime thrillers while Nonfiction books are fact-based books.

The same book creation procedure applies just that one is purely based on imagination and the other is based on documented facts and there are lots of open-source resources available to use and create a nonfiction book, unlike fiction books where you will have to task your brain to make up a captivating nonexisting storyline.

As an Individual, I will struggle to come up with a fictional story from start to finish and even if I hire a ghostwriter to write my fiction book, my contribution/input to the making of that book will be equivalent to zero since I have zero clue and will be leaving my book completely on the mercy of the ghostwriter which could turn out to be a hit or a miss.

There are lot's of self-published authors doing extremely well in the fiction genre but I opted for nonfiction books so I can be deeply involved in its creation like creating the outline for my book and providing the resources for each outline with a laid down template that will guide the ghostwriter towards writing a value-ladened book.

Writing a fictional or nonfictional book is based on the preference of the author but I always advise my students to start with nonfiction books.

Thanks a lot.

You can't determine by fiat what your advertising cost will be until you start running your ads and start removing keywords that are costing you money and not making you money (this is a very simplistic explanation).

Your best bet will be to start with a small daily budget which may not give you the desired impressions to get your book seeing and may also not win the bids.

Start with a daily budget you can afford and sustain for the next 60 day's. This is not a universal opinion but exactly what i advice my students based on what works for me which also depends on the competitiveness of your niche and your targeted keywords.

Even as an experience self-published author on Amazon, I'm still optimizing my Amazon ads every 48 hours which means it is a continuous process.

You start to understand what keywords are getting you the desired results after Amazon algorithm must have indexed your book and you now have data's to work with which can be found on the "search terms" of your ad.

Best of luck

Happy new year people

Hello Victor, obviously your course was optimized for non-fiction books; but what’s your take on going into fiction books?

Thanks.

Grupo:
Please, what mistake got your account terminated?

Please, share so we can learn.

1. Logging into my KDP account from two different devices
2. Having another account with same details (which ironically was an oversight on my path as I dont use it)
3. One of my books didnt go down well with the review team

byrron:
I guess if you have a payoneer Mastercard then you should be able to pay for the course or with a Nigerian bank issued ATM card.

Hi, what do you think is the way out if your KDP account is terminated...due to some mistakes I made.

Can I open another account (which i learnt is against Amazon policy).

- Now, I have a Payoneer account, which I have never used for KDP before, but even if I try, it's going to be the same name and stuff; which I'm afraid they will still find out. Before the ban, I use my UK bank account (which I opened when I was therefore briefly), and I guess I cant use now because it will be easily detected as the same person.

Please what do you think is the way out?

By the way, I'm going through your course now, and I think there's a lot of good stuff in there. Cheers.

byrron:
Sorry for the belated response which is due to differences in time zones.

You don't have to pay in foreign currency, you can pay with your Nigerian debt ATM card and it will charge you the equivalent.

Thanks.

alright thanks

byrron:
That's correct.

I deliberately priced the course at that ridiculously low price for now so my growing YouTube channel subscribers can get the course and I will be raising the price to $300 by the end of January 2022 and $500 by April 2022.

Okay, good job man.

I was wondering if I can pay you the equivalent in naira. At the moment I do not have a means of paying in foreign currency. I would be glad if you would do. Cheers

byrron:
Noted.

A screenshots of my earnings ain't necessary since it is very optional and besides, I have over 250 students through google ads and all you mentioned wasn't a factor nor did it stopped them from enrolling.

There is also a 14-refund policy which is guaranteed.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Just to be sure, it says the package is for $60.99 yeah?

byrron:
How many reviews do you have on your books?
You should be working on that and if you have the means start running ads. You won't be profitable for the next 3 months but when you eventually break even, then watch your income take off like a plane ascending the skies.

Can I contact you?

Tickles001:
Which sins did you commit?

Making adjustments to the books after I’ve published them

....and I’m still paying for my sins so far. Sales have been sooo slow

Fastlinkpro:
Did u use Same Arthur name for all books or different names?

Different names

My royalties for the month of September was $147
This was less than the prior month’s royalties, partially due to the fact that I was too busy with my graduation prep and didn’t have enough time; but mostly due to the fact that I tempered with my two performing books. In a bid to change the covers to something better, I ran into some issues and it took a while before I go republish them, and since then things haven’t been the same for the two books.

Or maybe it could just be that sales are slower in Q4

Fastlinkpro:
do you run ads?

Not at all

Run ads ontop $150?

byrron:
I publish 35,000 word non-fiction books. I then run a 2 week free promotion of the book with my book as a lead magnet with an opt-in page that captures their email first before sending then to the link to download my book.

I follow up with my prospects by sending the review link of my publushed book in Amazon for them to write an honest review about the book.

Some do write and some don't but the reviews makes you stand out and also attracts more prospects.

As someone that has also worked in one of Amazon's fulfillment center some years ago here in the U.S, I know that Amazon tends to give more visibility to product's with more reviews since it also makes them money.

I start running ads on my book once i get 5 reviews.

After the 2 weeks of my free promotion, I now go back to my account and put a price on my ebook, and then upload my paperback with a price higher than the ebook and after a month i upload the audio version on Audible with a price higher than the paperback.

With this strategy, your book will be generating 3 different incomes from 3 different sources, namely kindle ebook version, paperback and ACX (audible).

This is a strategy I learned from a mentor that is a 6 figures monthly earner in KDP and it wasn't for free, it did cost me $1400 which is what i used my Covid-19 stimulus check from Biden for. I invested on knowledge acquisition which i have been doing for so many years.

Anyone can publish a book on Amazon but being profitable as an independent self-publisher is a skill set that needs to be aquired.

I don't intend to go into so much detail in other not to derail the intent and purpose of this thread, I was only answering your question and then shared a little info on what i do.

Wishing you the very best.

This means a lot. Thank you

byrron:
This is very encouraging.
Focus on getting more reviews and try running some ads and you will be on your way to making more $s. Start working on your second book as well

Cheers.
But how do I get the reviews?

Tonnyray:
You sound like a good guy and all I have to say is "don't get her the phone"... at least not yet. Somehow you may still be in a position to mould this one (emphasis on the word may). Give it considerable time if you must (I'll say a year thereabout). Let her merit it.
I've had innumerable experience over the years with youngies (15-19 year olds) who try to capitalize on any form of acquaintance with this egbon (bros). Not dating or any such. Some could be junior sisters or nieces of work colleagues/office staff, or just juniors of friends, neighbors what have you. It's always about trying to get a phone way higher than their means. My position always is: "if your dad can't get it for you and you cannot afford it by yourself you have no business having it. You are simply setting yourself up for a long, dark, dreary road downhill in life". They always thank me and waka (it's always online anyway, they never have the nerve to do it face to face). All that stopped when I left facebook over 6 six years ago by the way.
In summary I do my bit. Their destiny is still in their fvcking hands.
