Start Building Your email list from day one!

In the past days, we've talked a lot about being a professional, successful and profitable blogger.

If you missed that, lemme reiterate:
Before you ever run to start a blog, do the following:
-know your why.
-Find and know your niche
-Know your ideal blog reader

There are things I want to point out that contribute to your blog success but do not necessarily determine it.

-Choose a befitting blog name/domain name
-Choose a web hosting company from obodo oyigbo. Take note of that. Don't say I didn't tell you.
-Install WordPress
-Create relevant pages on your blog like, about, contact, privacy policy, terms and conditions, etc

OK don't rush to publish your first post. I understand your excitement. Calm down.

That brings us to our topic for today.

Start building your email list from day one.

For those who know little or nothing about email list, I wouldn't want to overwhelm you with it.

We'll take it bit by bit.

Do you know why I recommend building your email list on day one?

I have a thousand reasons.

Though it may sound like a cliché, most of the money you'd make as a blogger is determined by the size of your email list.

Email Subscribers are people who have been exposed to your work and enjoyed it so much that they have signed up for more. They say yes to your offers, become customers, members, and raving fans willing to pay to be involved with you.

Your subscribers are like your inner cacus. Your virtual blood siblings.

They must have seen something sweet about you that they cant just get enough but to subscribe.

It might be older technology, but today email is still the dominant format to keep in touch with subscribers. As long as we all pay attention to our
emails, this is not going to change.

Your email list is as important, if not more important than your blog.
Together they are the perfect tandem combination.

You are not serious yet with blogging if you dont have an email list.

It is your biggest asset as a blogger or anybody who wants to make money online.

Still in doubt of list building?

Do you know why facebook and every website ask for your email address before you could access them?

Go figure out!

I'm sorry, i will not go into details on how to setup an email list. I will briefly explain it here.

-Create an incentive in form of a quality ebook, video, report etc, that solves a particular need of your targeted market for them to join your email list
-Sign up with an email service company. Mailchimp.com or mailerlite.com is ok for a beginner.
-Place an optin form on your blog to capture the living day light out of people's email...lol

Dont put up the old boring optin form with this generic title:
" sign up for our free weekly blog posts"

Nna come! Na who weekly blog posts epp? Hahaha

Unless you're an influential blogger, no ant will give you his email address.

People are stingy like that...lol

P.S: I just finished writing one of the most comprehensive ebook out there about starting a profitable blog that earns 300k monthly. Ive sent it to an editor (my friend oh....lol). The cover is ready. I will launch it next week, God willing. The good thing is, i,m giving it out for FREE.

I'm good like that...lol...

See you guys next week. I will talk on how to mesmerize people into joining your email list without thinking twice.

#MaverickBlogTips

How To Choose A Profitable Blog Topic/Niche -1

This is the tip you've all been waiting for.

Finding a PROFITABLE blog topic has always been the biggest challenge of bloggers all over the world.

Most people for lack of what to blog about will go after the super duper over saturated entertainment blogging.

Heck! I hate entertainment blogging. It's like having a 6am-12am job where your only boss is Google AdSense. If you don't publish a post for a week, forget it, you're fired.

I read entertainment blogs once in two months. Lol...I'm boring like that

So, in your list of profitable blog niche, delete entertainment.

Don't tell me you're passionate about sharing news and gossips. Gosh! Everybody is doing same thing.

Don't also tell me you can write motivational and inspiring articles. I hate reading such articles unless they are tied to a functional story then forget it.

Motivational articles will do you no good unless you take action. Sadly, 98% of the people who say "yeah" "nice" "helpful" and all those feel good comments on a motivational posts never do anything about it.

Don't start a boring motivational blog like "don't give up" "be yourself" bla bla bla...give me a break!

Technology blogs? We have just a handle of them in Nigeria who living up to standard, the rest are quacks! Quack technology blogs are the younger brothers of our old lady -entertainment blogging....

Don't start a blog on how to make money from blogging if you don't have a functional, strategic and easy to duplicate system on how to make money online. If AdSense is the only way you make money online, shut up bro, you don't have a system.

Don't start a blog on a topic you're not interested in unless you're rich enough to get people who are passionate about that topic to work with you. Personally, I can never start a blog on topics like sport, politics and dating. I suck at those three and I don't have any personal interest in them.

I know you're beginning to wonder how to choose a blog topic that's both profitable and interesting.

There's no right or wrong topic to blog about as long as you have at least 1,000 people in the whole world that's interested in that topic. That's on rare cases.

In fact, sometimes you need just about 100 loyal readers to make a decent income from your blog.

See what I mean, imagine having a product, service, software, membership site where you charge people just #2000 and 50 people buy it every month. That's a whooping 100k monthly. That's for having just 100 loyal readers monthly. That'll be 1.2M in a year.

So why limit yourself with AdSense?

If you're blogging for fun, don't bother about choosing a specific topic. But why would you be playing with a billion dollar industry? Yeah blogging is hot like that! Whoever banks for fun?...lol

Choosing a profitable blog topic must be based on two things

1. Your passion
2. People interested enough to buy from you.

If you're passionate about a topic and there are not enough people to pay for your Passion then find a topic people are interested in and are willing to pay and blog about it. Use the money from there to fund your passion. Who knows, passion always have a way of rewarding people.

Don't get it twisted, as a blogger, your ultimate goal is to help people. If you're here for the money, you'd get it but you'd NEVER experience true HAPPINESS that comes from HELPING people achieve their dreams.

Finding a blog topic is a very intricate part of successful blogging. If you get it wrong, you fail before you start.

This is the part of my blog coaching program I spend most of the time with because I understand how this is important for any successful blogging

Let's take a break today. I need to go work out.

I may take the whole of this week to talk about this.

Let me know in the comment box below how many people would be interested in knowing more about choosing a profitable blog topic.

Those blogging for money, let me see where you'll be in 2 to 3 years.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be blogging for money buy that should not be the focus.

Those who became successful in blogging, attained that height because they were FIRST genuinely interested in helping others.

Making money from a blog is suppose to be a byproduct of doing the right thing consistently and not something you struggle and sweat for.

WHAT ARE YOUR BLOGGING GOALS?

Lemme guess?

This is not what you were expecting me to write.

You may wonder why you need a blog goal.

Setting goals for your blog is very vital to your blog success.

consider what you want to achieve with your blog in 6 to 12 months and then commit to it. Set SMART (specific, measureable, attainable, relevant and time-bound) goals that motivate you and write them down to make them feel tangible.

Then plan the steps you must take to realize your goal, and cross off each one as you work through them.

Whatever your blog goals are, they should be people centered. Making money is important but it should be at the bottom of your goals.

In fact personally, making money from my blog is not part of my blog goals. I believe that making money from your blog is a byproduct of doing the right things consistently

Try as much as possible to be specific in your goals.

It could be these:
-Get 1,000 readers monthly
-Increase my email subscribers to 1000
-create my first premium product after one month of blogging.
-Interview 50 experts for my blog every month (something I wished I was doing)
-Publish 4 guests posts every month
-Etc

Those are just random goals I came up with.

Make sure, your goals are for the ultimate growth of your blog.

Don't waste your time doing what will not help you in the long run.

Your objectives should be concise and measurable so you’ll be able to determine whether or not you’ve met them.

Setting goals for your blog gives you clarity and direction. At every point in time, you'd know what is important and stick to it.

You won't be running to nowhere fast.

Your goals should also go hand in hand with your BIG WHY.

If the reason of starting your blog was to enlighten young women about abortion and pregnancy, then your blog goals should in line with your why.

It could be to build a community of 10,000 enlightened young women in three years. Then work towards it.

Let your goals serve as a blueprint or map to your success.

And whenever you're loosing focus, go back to the drawing board and see where you're missing it.

This may not sound interesting but take your time and list out 5 goals for your blog, evaluate if they are SMART goals and also go in line with your why.

This is something I asked my clients to do before ever working with them.

If you don't have goals, you'd be doing lots of things wrongly and guess what, you'd be a struggling blogger for a long time.

Now, your goals do not have to be perfect. You can tweak it every now and then. Add, remove or modify your goals.

But everything you do MUST be for the ultimate goal of giving immense value to your community.

If you've been blogging for a long time and nobody has ever sent you an email telling you how your blog has changed their lives, attitudes or mindset, then you need to check if actually you're doing the right thing.

Yeah! Positive feedbacks are usually indications of doing the right thing.

Goals should be a personal thing but if you would, you can share it with me in the comment box below.

Or send it to my inbox to help you evaluate it. I promise, I won't judge you even if all your blog goals is to make money...Lol

I'm excited about your success.

BLOGGING WITH INTENTION. WHAT IS YOUR WHY?

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Whenever someone signs up for my blog coaching program, the first question I always ask is: why do you want to start a blog?

This is where you'd get funny responses like:

"I have passion for blogging" really?

"I hear that blogging pays" Tell me about it!

"I want to be famous and known all over the world" Are you serious?

Those dreams are OK but they are too self centered.

Blogging should not just be about you.

We’re all working for something, and it’s perfectly fine to be working hard for your own success.

However, when other people are involved, and you get to the heart of your “why”, you start to see a bigger picture.

It is your why that will keep you longer than anybody else even when the money and fame are not forthcoming.

Before you venture into blogging, ask yourself what problem you'd be solving.

Don't say you want to start blogging because you like sharing information with others. Seriously? Everybody is doing the same thing.

Make sure there's a specific reason before ever going into blogging.

I started blogging because I wanted to mentor, inspire, support and empower young people to pursue entrepreneurship and build successful businesses.

That's what has been keeping me all these months in blogging.

There are months I don't make a dime but when I remember why I'm doing this, I just keep grinding.

Because I know my why, I don't struggle to get an audience or traffic. I don't even bother about traffic. If I can help just one person with my blog, then I'm fulfilled.

Knowing your why will keep you focused at one topic. My main focus is entrepreneurship and everything I do revolves around that topic. Hence I don't struggle with coming up with new ideas.

Ask yourself, is this something I want to do 5-10 years from now?

Will you still be blogging even when you're not making money and in tough competitions? Will you still speak even when no one is listening? Will you still write even when no one is reading?

Will you still keep a smiling face in times of zero like, zero comment and zero click?

I can't stress the importance of knowing your why enough.

My why can not be better than yours.

Whatever is your reason for starting a blog, let people be your number one focus.

Your blog should either be educative, informative, inspiring or entertaining. Make sure you're meeting people's needs.

People visit blogs to solve a particular problem. People are selfish and don't care about you until you start caring about them.

Companies blog to get more loyal customers or get more leads to their businesses.

Don't tell me you started an entertainment or music blog because you are passionate about sharing information... Lol...who passion EPP?

Wait until AdSense rejects your application five times then we'd know if it was passion or infatuation to money.

I'm now turning this into a blog post. Pardon me, there's so much in my heart to talk about but I'll stop here.

Search your heart: Why do you want to start blogging? Or why did you want to start a blog?

Challenge: In the comment box below, share with me why you started blogging or want to start blogging.

Until you know your why, being a successful blogger will be difficult and may take longer time.

My why: I started blogging to empower young people to pursue entrepreneurship and build successful businesses (online).

Every day, thousands of young Nigerians start a blog or sometimes multi blogs with the hope to copy people's content, wait for 3 weeks and then apply for AdSense.

If AdSense approves them, they go about telling people that they are successful bloggers making millions weekly!

Well, this post is not about AdSense. It's about people's attitude towards blogging.

A lot of people start a blog without having a clue about what they are into. For many, it is a get rich quick scheme to solve their money problem.

Whenever someone meets me for coaching and start talking about getting AdSense account, I just ignore them. They don't know what they want.

Everybody is going for the easy way - entertainment blogging. It's either ..com or hotgossip..com.

There's no creativity in the minds of young people anymore.

They don't care about doing something that stands out from the crowd. As long as it is paying the bills, no problem.

In the past years, blogging has changed. It is no longer a place where you rant about what you ate for dinner or what Ini Edo wore to a wedding.

Blogging has evolved into a multi million dollar industry. People have created fortunes from blogging alone. Bloggers are now among the most influential people in the world.

When they speak, the world halt to listen. They can start a movement with just a click of buttons.

Their opinions are respected by politicians, celebrities and well respected people in the society.

But, it is not the average and mediocre copy and paste bloggers that are respected.

It is the bloggers who are genuinely interested in giving people immense value.

Those who give their all, time, knowledge and experience. Most times they give more than they receive. Their only reward is the comment and feedback from clients and readers.

These bloggers are thought leaders. Sometimes their opinions are taken like the law. For them, money is not the motivation. Changing lives is the ultimate goal.

Won't you rather be that blogger that speaks and the internet halts. Won't you want to be that guy or lady people are always talking about for the right reason.

I know you've made mistakes. You've started a mediocre blog hoping to make millions with it in 3 months.

I know you've heard so many things blogging could do to your life.

And you wished there was a blueprint to follow, so that you too could be the next Seth Godin.

Relax... I'm hear to guide you to become the next BloggerSTAR.

“Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming, and all of your excuses have NEVER gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

It comes as no surprise that “Buhari” has become the most used word by Nigerians these days. Wherever you go, you’d hear, Buhari this, Buhari that.

As you go to the market to buy stuff, every market man or woman blames the high price of commodities on Buhari. It’s quite funny that someone who was naturally stingy will blame Buhari for him not being able to give you something.

I became worried by this new trend of “Buharization” and have told myself that I won’t partake in this blame game. Since from inception, Nigerians have always been known for blaming the government for their misfortune, forgetting that they are actually the government.

But it happens that the rate of complaints has now grown especially with the recession. Even bad people will do terrible things and blame it on Buhari. The other day, a woman was arrested by the police for stealing her neighbour’s pot of soup. Her only excuse was “Buhari”. She blamed Buhari for making life difficult for her and her family which prompted her to steal.

Let’s be honest with ourselves.

Since, we started shouting “Buhari” what has really changed? Nothing! Instead, things just got worse. We’ve totally taken our productive time to sit with lazy bumps of nay-sayers to do nothing but complain.

I’m not denying the fact that things are hard. We are swimming in hard times. In fact, we have lost our strength to paddling a ruined ship. But shall we stop paddling because the ship is faulty or the sea is stormy?

No!

We would all drown if we do nothing but complain about the ship or the sailor!

I’m sorry that the change we all expected is not forthcoming. I’m also sorry that the mind-boggling magic we expected the “Change Prophet” to bring is a far cry.

Let me shock you.

No human government can completely and perfectly solve all human problems!

A country and her citizens will always have problems no matter how civilized and developed it is. Now, can you think of any developed country in the world who do not have problems? USA? UK? Hong Kong? Singapore? They are all battling with one problem or the other.

People commit suicide in those countries. People kill. People rape. People steal. People do wicked and abominable things in those “civilized” countries?

So, it is madness and a total waste of time to sit with some lazy NFAs (no future ambitions) and complain about the government.

The human government can not completely and perfectly solve all human problems because we are a bunch of depraved and selfish creatures who will always run into problems.

In fact, being a citizen of a developed country will not solve all your personal problems. You’d still have to work hard. You’d still need to hustle and grind to become successful.

It is only the average and mediocre people who wait for the government to come fix their problems. As long as they wait for the government, they will remain broke, poor and miserable.

If all the successful men and women we celebrate today were waiting for the government or waiting for when things will be all rosy and fair, we wouldn’t have known them. They’d just be average people living average lives in an unknown place in the world.

See, this not the time to play the blame game. You will never win!

This is time to take full responsibility for your life. It is time to be intentional about your dreams, goals and aspirations. This is time to work on yourself, brand and business. This is time to become a better and greater you.

When men say there’s a recession, you will say there’s a restoration.

Heck! I hate to sound like a preacher. But you get my point right?

“A good leader takes responsibility for all his actions. The first leadership you and I have been called into is self-leadership (as the bible has it in the book of Genesis – be fruitful and multiply).

There can be no fruitfulness without visions, goals, relationships, etc. Also, you can’t reach the height of fruitfulness, influence & excellence in life if excuses are not far from your lips.

For you to maximize your potential, you will have to stop being so good at taking up excuses to defend your mistakes and decisions.”

– Abraham Ologundudu. Founder, Seasonedlifejournal.com

Excuses always seem like a valid reason to do or not to do something but they are usually the bane of our greatness in life. The moment you start making excuses, you create a mental barrier in your head which practically stops you from taking any positive action to achieve your goals in life.

You’d never become better in life if you do nothing but complain and agitate about this government or that government. Buhari, is definitely not your problem because while you’re sitting there whining and crying, someone is out there gathering all the money, building great businesses and breaking all the limits and boundaries.

Hustlers are in the street grinding and hustling. They just don’t care about the government.

Anytime you complain, you’re making a step backwards.

Every complain you make is like a prayer made to the devil.



“Complaining…(excessively) will leave you helpless, hopeless and victimised. Over time, the accumulation of these dissatisfactions and feelings of helplessness may have a negative impact on your mood, self-esteem and general mental health. Complaining too much can create negative energy which makes it hard to create a positive outcome.”

-M1pychology.com

How Not To Complain

Acknowledge the fact that complaining will not fix any of your problems.

Stay away from people who do nothing but complain about everything.

Change your view about the problems you’re facing. Maybe a new perspective will help you see things differently and adjust appropriately.

Take full responsibility for your life. Whatever happens to you is as a result of your personal choices and not the government.

Be grateful for everything no matter how trivial it is.

Avoid mindlessly agreeing with complainers.

Write down your specific problems and plan for a way to fix them. Is it money, get a job or start a business. Health? Eat well and exercise.

Walk away, take a deep breath and intentionally remain calm.

Go out of your way to help others.

Start working on your dreams and goals.

Associate with positive and inspiring people.

STOP COMPLAINING.

I knew that this day would come. Many people are so drunk with the 30% that they have lost their senses.

I wrote something about MMM some time ago here: http://maverickexcel.com/mmm-ponzi-scheme/

Nigerians arise and be responsible for once. MMM is not a viable business opportunity.

Complete picture of our conversation

#MaverickStory

Where do I start from?

OK here.

About a year ago, August 2015 precisely, an advertiser contacted me to submit a sponsored post/link to my blog.

I was nervous and excited. It was the first time an advertiser took notice of my blog.. Lol

That was actually five months into blogging.

That time anyone could place a sponsored post on my blog for 1 kobo...lol...na money na...he he he

So I sheepishly requested for $50 ( that was #10,000 under Uncle Joe's regime)...for my mind, na big money be that that time o

He agreed to pay $15!

What? $15?
"Oga bring the money, sharp sharp"

I was excited. Then, earning $15 for a sponsored post was a big deal.

Of course, I agreed to take $15.

After that, he contacted me with some flimsy excuses, saying my domain authority was low...bla bla bla.
Yeah he was right.

I was just a JJC (Johnny just come) to blogging.

Fast forward to this morning.

I opened my email this morning!
Bingo!

Two advertisers knocking on my inbox.

I hurried to open the one I've had conversation with in the past.

It was my dear $15-sponsored-post-friend.

I smiled. I had a tear run down my surprised face.
Everything has changed so fast.

The message was: "Hello, You are still there. I am looking blog post link on your site."

Of course, I'm here to stay! I will just get better and bigger everyday.

I quickly sent him a reply: "yes I'm still here. I charge $200 for sponsored post/ now."

I'm not trying to prove anything to him. I just want to remind him that I'm not where I used to be 13 months ago.

Let me briefly talk to you reading this post.
Brother. Sister.

Forget about what people are saying about you now.
Don't worry about the enemies, fake friends, nay sayers and even the competition.

Just keep working on yourself.

Keep increasing your value. Don't force people to be your friend or client.

Just focus on becoming better everyday.

Stop worrying about those who are having it all figured out now.

Work on yourself! Your brand and your value.

Don't listen to those who say you can't do it.

Tell them, "watch me"

Keep doing your thing

And even more importantly, never settle for less.
No matter how crazy your dreams are, they are valid!

I hope you are pumped up this morning.

Have a great day.

About ten years ago, making money online in Nigeria was only a dream. A lot of the people who were making money online then were the “yahoo-yahoo boys” – online fraudsters.

So, it was perceived that anyone who was making money online was a scammer (yahoo-yahoo boy). There were only very few Nigerians who were making real legitimate money online.

Now the game has changed. A ten year-old boy with a computer and an internet connection can make a living online.

According to Internet Live Stats, there are over 86,219,965 (86.2 million) Internet Users in Nigeria (2016).

What does that mean?

It means that there are over 86 million potential customers in Nigeria waiting to buy from you. Anything can be produced and sold online. Anything like books, apps, softwares, videos, pictures etc.

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that making money online is easier than making money offline.

The truth of the matter is, there are only two ways you can make money online in Nigeria or anywhere in the world.

You either sell a product, a service or both. there’s no magic.

Whether it is affiliate marketing, freelance writing, publishing Google ads or whatever.

You MUST SELL SOMETHING to make money.

Blogging alone will not make you a dime. I realized that truth earlier enough in my blogging career and it has made a diiference in my life.

A blog is only a tool or platform like the Social Media (FAcebook, twitter, instagram etc) to build an audience and SELL SOMETHING TO THEM.

Stop waiting for the glorious day, Google Adsense will approve your account. That day may never come.

When I started blogging newly I was jumping from one CPC and CPM ad Network to another. I tried everything under the sun. I was seriously distracted by ad networks like Adquet, Infolink, Chikita, Bidvertizer, Media.net, Google Adsense and a host of others too nmuerous to mention or remember.

I was really frustrated.

After all the sweet sweet things I’ve read about making money online? Why is it so difficult?

Then I decided to dump every Ad network and focus on doing just two things: sell products and services on my blog.

I have never regretted this decision.

People visit my blog and they’re like: how do you make money? There is no Google ad displayed on it?

I just smile and say, “I sell my services”

So for this important topic of making money online in Nigeria, I featured over 30 online entrepreneurs in Nigeria to share the story of their first income online.

You know that feeling when something you started out as a joke started making you money?

You smile like a man who has been given a love portion by a Calabar girl.

These online entrepreneurs are not only bloggers. Some are internet marketers, freelance writers, affiliate marketers, developers, web designers and other respective fields.

I do really thank them for taking the time out to contribute to this roundup post.

It is actually my first roundup post.

It was a very tedious work for me to put this up but i’m sure that it is worth the trouble.

So, if you’re just starting out online and you’ve not made a dime yet, don’t give up.

There’s still hope for you.

No matter how long it’s going to take you, your hustle must pay one day.

Just don’t stop yet. Keep grinding. Keep thriving. Keep moving.

People are watching.

You’ll be rewarded accordingly.

Befrore we move on, let me share a little story of my first money online:

I made my first money online two months after blogging. I started blogging 4th March, 2015 and I made my first money online, May 31st, 2015.

I saw an advert on Jide’s Bloggers Forum, looking for a writer to write for a tech blog. Then, I knew nothing about tech blogging but I applied to write for the blog.

The post is super long...
