SUMMARY

A website is a marketing tool that costs you ONE TIME and continues to pay you back. It expands your customer base, enhances your advertising and marketing efforts and gives your business a mark of credibility.

A website at its basic level tells millions of Internet users:

— Who you are, how you began, successes you've had, your reputation in the community.
— What your company has to offer — products and services
— How to find your location.
— The different ways to contact you (phone #'s, FAX, email, physical address)
— Special offers and upcoming promotions, new additions to products and services
— The Latest NEWS about your company
— What others are saying about you
— Client / Customer testimonials.

When you consider the continual growth in numbers of Internet users and the growth of companies that are on the Internet, some of which may be your competitors, it could cost you NOT to have a web site.

Now here's the deal...

I am Julius, I create blogs and websites. I want to help bring your business online by creating a professional website for you.

For only 25,000 you can own a website (limited). Yes. That is including the cost of the domain and hosting.
It's just too cheap. I know but let me tell you why I'm doing this.

I started not long ago and only have 2 website in my portfolio which I think is very low. To get more clients, they will need to see my previous works and I want to have something to show them.

www.safetywiseservices.com
www.xaxerang.com (still working on it)

Make use of this opportunity if you need a website for your business.

I use WordPress for my websites because of many reasons... SEO friendly, flexibility— easy for anybody to update the contents, etc.

Do you know that the major means of finding information nowadays is online? Yes, it's true. I bet you make use of it too.

Let's say you need laundry services. As someone who is socially inclined and uses the internet frequently, what first comes to your mind is to do a little search online. This is as easy as typing "Laundry services in Lagos (or your location)" and viola! Results! You'll be redirected to the websites of such businesses.

A website is like your giant public bulletin board where people can get information on how to find you, where you are located, what you have to offer, why your service is unique, and what's new in your company. It is easily updated and changed frequently, and is a communication forum through which your customers can communicate back to you with questions, concerns and feedback on their needs.

Research shows that more than 97 million Nigerians uses the internet... Are you thinking what I'm thinking? It is a very good opportunity if properly used to promote your business to millions of Nigerians on the internet.

Let me tell you just few advantages of having a website for your offline business.

Your Website Is Always There
Many people surf the web in the evening when most businesses are closed, which is perfectly fine because websites never take a break. A website will allow your business or organization to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Having a website is the equivalent of having an employee working around the clock - even weekends and holidays!

Website Improves Costumers' Confidence and Corporate Image
With a professional website, you will improve you overall impression to the public and, in turn, your customers will develop a greater sense of confidence in your organization.

Higher Revenue
According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses that have websites are averaging $1.07 million more per year in sales than small businesses not online. That equates to 39% higher revenue.
Websites Help Establish More Customers
Again, according to the Small Business Administration, 50% of Internet sales are from new customers. Having a website significantly improves your customer reach no matter what services or products you offer.

These are just a few of the many advantages attached to having a website for your business.

You probably want to know...
What is the cost involved?

Having a website involves three basic costs: The development of the site itself, hosting the site, and registering the domain name. The development of the site is the actual "building" or putting the graphics, text, links and codes all together so you have web pages that look good and are informative when you see the site on the computer. This is the largest of the three costs and can range in price from N50,000 even up to N200,000 or more depending on the complexity. The cost of your website is a one-time investment for a tool you own and can continue to use for communication and marketing indefinitely. It is always up - and always accessible. Hosting the site means the website files are put on a large server so the general public can access your site by clicking through the internet. Hosting costs vary but average around 8,000 to 20,000 per year, based on the website functionality and the hosting provider.
A dot-com domain costs about 3000 per year.

Now, you're really convinced to have a website for your business, but you're probably thinking the cost will be hard to afford or is too large. No it's not... compared to the advantages you get.

I want to create three different blogs in different niche.

I need advice on how to save cost in term on hosting.

Go for namecheap.com

With their basic plan, you get:
√ 20gb space
√ Unlimited Bandwidth
√ 3 Websites
√ Price: $9.88 for the first year, that's about N3k
Renewal $38.88 (N12k)
www.namecheap.com

Of course it's possible. Checkout this thread on how to do that .. .

Note that, self hosted WordPress requires that you pay for a web hosting account and purchase a domain if u don't already have one.
On a second thought you can get someone to do it for u to avoid the technicalities.

Hahahaha in Fela's voice "Suffering and smiling ". Trust naija na they'll tell you the administration is just 10 months old
APC!!!! Chains!!!!

For how long are we going to be like this? "Change" is a word Nigerians will always live to remember.

President Muhammadu Buhari has again put Nigeria into the global scene with having recorded the worst and unprecedented fuel queues in the history of Nigeria.

Temper seems to be high, hope tumbles like a pack of cards, the change mantra of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has become a rocket science, as angry Nigerians who defied rain and sun shine to vote for President Buhari have now been subjected to serious economic hardship.

To many Nigerians, Buhari has written his name in the Guinness Book of Record having been the only president in the world that recorded the longest queues in filling stations and generated zero Megawatts of electricity.

Quite paradoxically, under Buhari’s watch, Nigeria remains the only oil-producing country globally where fuel availability has become a major headache despite having a sitting President who doubles as the substantive Petroleum Minister.

The shout of “Sai Baba” under the present economic down turn has become suicidal as the APC “e-rodent,” and “electronic rag sheet” have gone into hiding. This new world record set by Buhari does not need any celebration.

From the commercial city of Lagos, through Abuja, to other major cities across the country, the story has been the same as motorists spend hours and days queuing to buy petrol, a product that ordinarily should be available at the remotest villages in the country if Nigeria has been blessed with a visionary leader.
Many Nigerians have lost hope having been subjected to excruciating pains for going through weeks without Electricity and Fuel.

The Fuel scarcity is biting harder as motorists queue for hours and pass nights at filling stations in search of petrol. The queue circles stretched into tens of kilometers especially in NNPC filling stations.

Many commuters are now stranded at different bus stops especially in the nation’s capital, Abuja due to lack of vehicles. The few ones that are plying the road jerked up their fares by 50 percent.
This chaotic situation has prompted black marketers to cash in on the situation by selling fuel at exorbitant rates to motorists.

Motorists have to go through hectic time under the scorching sun, trying to buy the commodity with hope out of sight.
Businesses are crumbling; the masses can no longer afford three square meals a day. Unemployment has gotten to a breaking point. The nation is at a standstill as hope gradually fades away, paving way for gloom and doom fuel scarcity.

3 Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before Choosing A Niche (what to blog about)

You've probably heard about blogging and knows what a blog is. A lot of people are now into blogging and 99% percent of these people are in for the wrong reasons, no wonders you see them putting their blogs up for sale after only a few weeks of starting it.

Before even venturing into blogging, you need to really know what blogging is, what it takes to be a blogger and why exactly you're going into it.

Just because you hear about making money with it or many people are blogging, then you just get someone to help you set up your blog and there you go. You blog is ready and you start blogging. My friend, blogging is more than that.

There's a lot of things to know first before going into blogging. What will you do if after creating the blog, the money is not forthcoming like you anticipated? What will you do if at end you see blogging is very different from what you've been thinking all along? That is surely going to be the end. I always laugh when I see some posts here on this section like "I want to sell my blog of just 6 months old". Are they tired so soon? The obvious reasons for that is because they didn't plan it well from the beginning or they knew nothing about blogging.

Over the last few months, I've published some enlightening posts about blogging here on this forum and on my blog — www.bloggingplan.com which has been of help to a lot of newbies. I learnt about blogging the hard way. But you don't have to. Following my quest on helping new bloggers, I decided to teach as many people that are ready to learn, the basics of blogging.

I've been able to put together some series of blogging lectures that will make you become a pro blogger.

What you will learn from the training.

* The meaning of blog and blogging
* Types of blog and the one that is best for you
*Benefits of blogging
*How to choose a profitable niche *What readers want from your blog
*Everything about domain and hosting

And of course, it's FREE
It's a 4-module training series which you can access by following the link below.

bugativeron:
I keep wondering if the world will be better off if internet is shut down for some months. My take;
1. a whole lots of negativities spread through internet.
2. Nigeria has witnessed spread of tribal nationalism made possible through internet. Presently the dislike and hate amongst the 3 major tribes is at all time high.
3. Spread of terrorism has been more and it has now been entrenched into all most all the countries in the world.

Guys what is your take?

There's no way you would be able to post this if it shuts down

Nice one. This is the most interesting post I've read this week. In my opinion, free platform should be used for testing purposes. If you want to get serious about blogging, go for a self hosted platform. You using a free platform is a sign of inexperienced blogger who likely won't be listened to. I've seen a one or two bloggers here that sworn they'll never use a self hosted platform that is better. As I write this, they're back on WordPress (or back on their senses).
Let's learn from this post and put it to good use.
